Burrell Behavioral Health is set to transform the former Rainbow House building in Columbia into a pioneering residential treatment facility aimed at tackling the pressing mental health service shortage in Boone County. This initiative marks a significant step forward in enhancing access to crucial mental health care for the local community.

The new facility is designed to provide a safe and supportive environment for individuals struggling with mental health issues. By offering residential treatment options, Burrell Behavioral Health aims to meet the growing demand for comprehensive mental health services, which have become increasingly vital in recent years.

Community leaders and mental health advocates have expressed their support for this project, highlighting the urgent need for more resources to address mental health challenges. The facility will not only serve as a treatment center but also as a beacon of hope for those seeking help, fostering recovery and wellness in a nurturing setting. As the project progresses, it is anticipated to make a lasting positive impact on the mental health landscape of Boone County.
