Queen of Peace Center - Cathedral Tower

Women-Only Care for Pregnant and Parenting Clients

Cathedral Tower is designed for women, including pregnant and postpartum clients and mothers caring for children. Treatment is family-centered, with services that include family therapy, child therapy, play therapy, and parenting education. A therapeutic childcare center supports young children while their mothers stay engaged in care, helping families build steadier routines during treatment.

CSTAR Continuum at Cathedral Tower

Services are delivered through Missouri’s Comprehensive Substance Abuse Treatment and Rehabilitation (CSTAR) program, with both residential and outpatient options. Residential care provides 24-hour staffing and a structured schedule of individual, group, and family counseling, along with peer support. Outpatient treatment continues counseling and recovery support during weekday hours, with some services available in the home and community to help clients stay connected to care as life responsibilities grow.

Trauma-Informed Counseling and Practical Skill Building

Treatment includes trauma-related counseling and evidence-based approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, relapse prevention, contingency management/motivational incentives, and 12-step facilitation. Anger management and substance use disorder counseling are also available. For many clients, the focus is on building coping strategies they can use in real life — at home, in relationships, and at work.

Health Services, Medications Support, and Stability Resources

Clients can access health evaluation and care coordination, psychiatric services, and medication management for co-occurring disorders. Medications for addiction treatment (MAT) may be part of opioid use disorder care, and the program can coordinate referrals for methadone treatment for pregnant and postpartum clients as needed. Transportation assistance and childcare help with attendance, while housing services, help accessing social services, and employment counseling or training support longer-term stability after treatment.
