Housing For Individuals With Co-Occurring Disorders

Being without housing can be a stressful experience that can make it challenging for individuals to recover from addiction.

Additional recovery support services you may get linked to are vocational training, transportation services, and educational services. I like that the facility also assists clients with accessing health insurance.

Crisis Services at Any Time

A crisis can occur at any time of the day and cause some clients to potentially be close to relapsing. The facility offers 24/7 crisis services for whenever you need it.

You can come directly to the Compass office to receive treatment from the staff. If it’s after hours, you can call the office and be connected to a mental health professional.

Dialectical Behavioral Therapy to Treat Addiction

One of the primary treatment options at this facility used to treat addiction is dialectical behavioral therapy. You’ll participate in weekly therapy, coaching calls, and skills training groups. Through this therapeutic approach you’ll learn to develop a healthy perspective on life and improve your ability to regulate your emotions so you avoid using substances as a coping mechanism.

Great people & awesome help.

It was not a helpful experience. First it was a struggle to even get an appointment. Then those were frequently cancelled. Then I was placed on walk in status without valid reason, which made it impossible to continue treatment. Wasted years of my life for this, and as a consequence, made no progress.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

Outpatient

Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.

Inpatient

Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.

Aftercare Support

Clients in a rehab aftercare program typically have completed intensive inpatient treatment but may be receiving outpatient care. Many have concluded outpatient treatment as well and are in the maintenance phase of their recovery. Rehab aftercare services are designed to provide a full continuum of care as clients apply their recovery skills at home, in the workplace, and in the community. Clients typically receive peer coaching, career counseling, and 12 step recovery program induction, among other services.

Multiple intervention services are available to families who are facing addiction. Intervention specialists can help families plan and carry out a drug intervention in Kansas.

24-Hour Clinical Care

Detox treatment varies, but it always involves 24-hour clinical care in Kansas. This supervision is necessary to ensure a safe detox process. Time frame for this level of treatment depends on the severity and type of the addiction. Common time frames include 5-day detox and 7-day detox. Rapid detox programs are also available that are as short as 24 hours. Regardless of the time frame, constant supervision by experienced staff is an essential component.

Programs

Adult Program

Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress.

From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.

Young Adult Program

Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use.
