Maryville Treatment Center

The Maryville Treatment Center is a minimum-security state prison and substance abuse treatment center for male inmates located in Maryville, Missouri. It can house up to 561 inmates who have been sentenced to at least six months of treatment and behavior modification as part of the Offenders Under Treatment (OUT) Program and the Board of Substance Abuse Program (BDSAP).

This facility is on the grounds of the former Mount Alverno motherhouse of the Sisters of St. Francis of Maryville, just outside of city limits. The Franciscan motherhouse was built in 1947 and featured a yellow bell tower as a notable landmark.

The motherhouse and school was abandoned in 1985 when they merged with the Sisters of St. Mary to form the Fransciscan Sisters of Mary. The Missouri DOC leased the property in 1995 and opened the treatment facility in 1996.

Programs For Inmates

  • Substance Abuse Treatment

Approximately 83 percent of Missouri DOC inmates are engaged in substance misuse within 12 months before their incarceration. In order to provide the earliest possible intervention and the most effective treatment, the department provides substance use disorder services for offenders in institutions as well as strategies to support people under supervision in the community, 

Institutional treatment centers (ITC) provide structured comprehensive substance use disorder treatment for incarcerated, parole, and probation violators.

ITCs offer a more therapeutic alternative to traditional incarceration. Offenders are held accountable for their behavior and are required to successfully complete treatment interventions prior to release. The department partners with the Department of Mental Health's Division of Behavioral Health to provide treatment services in the community for offenders and facilitate the continuity of care from institutions to treatment and recovery support services in community settings.

Long-term substance use disorder treatment (12 months) for chronic and progressive addictions is provided at Maryville Treatment Center.

Drug screening via urinalysis is an important part of the department's zero tolerance approach toward drug use by offenders. In 2001, the department began drug testing for incarcerated offenders and offenders on probation and parole supervision. 

On a monthly basis, five percent of all offenders are randomly selected for urinalysis testing and five percent of offenders who have previously tested positive are selected for "targeted testing." Drug testing assists corrections professionals in their work to assess, evaluate, and refer offenders to appropriate substance use disorder programs within the institutions and the community.

To further combat the illegal use of drugs in prison, the department has enhanced interdiction efforts to intercept drug transactions and deliveries. The combination of drug intervention, drug screening, and treatment strategies enforces the department's zero tolerance standard for offender drug use.
