Saying something slanderous about a business is kind of a chicken shit thing to do. If you've literally seen bugs there then I could see justification for this post. Behind that restaurant there's a family trying to operate a business, so if you're just bored, and talking shit, try just not eating there instead. Otherwise, stfu.

Cox North is way better than the Marian Center. I've had too many clients have bad experiences there. God help you if the Marian Center is full and the ship you out to the shithole in Joplin that has been known for holding people much longer than they should.

Cox is far from perfect, but definitely a better alternative to Mercy.

Burrell has the Rapid Access Center that one can check themselves into voluntary, and can leave any time. They have beds available, offer detox, host support groups, offer therapy, medication management, SUD (substance use) treatment, and help you get into other services if needed.

There's a huge anti-Burrell circle-jerk in this sub, but I would highly recommend taking advantage of the Rapid Access Center. I've spoken to multiple people who have told me "that place saved my life" and had great experiences there.

I would recommend starting there before going to Cox, and especially Mercy....

There's a new 24/7 adult crisis stabilization unit on the west side of town. You are free to leave whenever you like. They can help with lots of stuff including drug withdrawal. My husband went there and it was extremely helpful.

My husband has been to Cox North and the Marian Center. Neither were very helpful, but the Marian Center was better.

Mercy has the Marian center. That’s inpatient psychiatric care.

You probably can’t check in directly, as it’s usually pretty much full, but if you are having suicidal thoughts or thoughts of harming anyone else check in to the ER. It’s not ideal but they’ll try and get you the help you need.
