Outpatient mental health clinic in the works hile government officials continue to work on plans for a multimillion dollar mental health crisis intervention center, a private company has filed plans for a major new mental health center that will be based in eastern Lawrence. Olathe’s Cottonwood Springs Behavioral Health Hospital has filed plans at

development for Cottonwood Springs. “We saw a lot of people from Lawrence and Topeka using our services in Olathe.” The company is a fullservice mental health care provider, including drug and alcohol addictions, depression, personality disorders and other disorders.
