The Kansas Department of Health and Environment and its Kansas Connecting Communities program is excited to partner with Centia Health to increase access to quality perinatal behavioral health care. Through this partnership, perinatal expertise and psychiatric consultations will be available to all Kansas providers by means of the newly established perinatal psychiatric tele-access program. This valuable resource will aid in improving pregnant/postpartum health outcomes, especially in rural, frontier, and other underserved areas.

Centia Health has been a pleasure to work with over the last few years. We built a telehealth process together to serve patients in our outpatient MAT clinic who needed a service that was very scarce in our area. We also began offering telehealth psychiatry services to our patients in residential treatment in order to stabilize mental health symptoms and help them benefit the most from their treatment. The staff at Centia Health have been easy to reach, collaborative, and professional from design to implementation and after.

Centia Health served as our primary provider of psychiatric and medication evaluation services for two years and continues their engagement with our residential substance use disorder treatment facilities. Their knowledge and experience with addictive and comorbid disorders are an invaluable asset to our work. The Laxus team understands long term recovery is contingent on effectively assessing the mental health, physical health, and social determinant factors that influence relapse. Working collaboratively with the client, family, social supports and DCCCA clinical team, their evaluation and recommendations help establish multi-faceted recovery plans that create opportunities for client success.

“This is D, counselor to X at ... I wanted to give you an update on her. I maintain weekly contact with her. She did have a small relapse after leaving the residential program. She and I were able to move her to a long term transitional shelter.  She has been there for 2 or more months. She has a full- time job at a fast food restaurant and recently received health insurance. She is saving for a car and has completed a community college application to attend  skills training school. She has opened up a savings account and is saving to buy a car and she will be moving into a permanent apartment in the near future. She has purchased a plane ticket to go and see her sister and nephews for Christmas.   She continues to take the medication you prescribed her and her mental health is stable.  Thank you so much for the wonderful impact you have had on her life!
