DCCCA

About DCCCA

DCCCA is a drug and alcohol mental health facility located in Lawrence, Kansas. This is their administrative office. They can refer you to residential and outpatient treatment for substance use. Their programs provide treatment for people with alcohol use disorder and other substance use disorders. For payment they take Medicaid and private insurance. They use a sliding fee scale if you do not have health insurance.

They offer many different kinds of addiction treatment. You will undergo a full assessment when you come in for services. This will determine the level of treatment you need.

If you have been convicted of DUI charges, they offer an Alcohol and Drug Informational School. This is a one day class that teaches you about Kansas Drug and alcohol laws as well as the effects of drugs and alcohol on your body. You’ll learn about the legal repercussions of driving while you are inebriated.

If you have a large amount of drugs in your system you may be referred to DCCA’s residential and detox program. The detox they offer is nonmedical, and the residential treatment they offer is short term. The exact amount of time you spend in treatment will depend on your individual needs.

They have an intensive outpatient program (IOP) in which you will attend therapy sessions several times a week for several hours a day. They also have a standard outpatient program in which you will come in once or twice a week for treatment.

Treatment includes group and individual therapy. Groups cover several different topics such as anger management and coping skills. Individual therapy will be designed for you based on your needs and goals for treatment.

SHUT FIRST STEP DOWN!!!! They just want to push patients out door after 3 weeks to get more more $$$$ from state for new addicts. When you fail to address mental health issues, you get 1 star. When you fail to include family in counseling and life goals, you fail as an organization. When you thinks it s cute to send confused recovering addicts on a bus with no ID or job or money to hang in Lawrence, you are a joke organization. Should always be a locked unit for patients for 90 days for REAL help!!!! Vicious, revolving cycle of addiction actually promoted by First Step. Like experts don t know what they are doing is a bunch of junk making people s lives worse.When you failed to face me and ignored my concerns and admit you messed up just so you can fool innocent community members into funding you. Get rid of the directors and wipe the slate clean with management. Apologize to me and my daughter and do the right thing before God!!!!

Other Forms of Payment

Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.

Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.

Sliding scale payments are based on a client's income and family size. The goal is to make treatment affordable to everyone. By taking these factors into account, addiction recovery care providers help ensure that your treatment does not become a financial burden to you or your family, eliminating one barrier to care.

Medicare is a federal program that provides health insurance for those 65 and older. It also serves people under 65 with chronic and disabling health challenges. To use Medicare for addiction treatment you need to find a program that accepts Medicare and is in network with your plan. Out of pocket costs and preauthorization requirements vary, so always check with your provider.

Military members, veterans, and eligible dependents have access to specific insurance programs that help them get the care they need. TRICARE and VA insurance can help you access low cost or no cost addiction and mental health treatment. Programs that accept military insurance often have targeted treatment focused on the unique challenges military members, veterans, and their families face.

Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.

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

Inpatient rehab offers intensive treatment and typically include round-the-clock clinical care. Inpatient treatment is designed primarily for clients exiting detox, those in early recovery, and those at an increased risk of relapse. Inpatient programs generally involve multiple addiction counseling sessions per week, which may include individual, group, and family counseling. Many inpatient rehabs also offer recovery-focused life skills training and evidence-based holistic therapies, such as meditation, massage, yoga, equine therapy, and experiential therapy.

Intensive Outpatient

Clients exiting detox, stepping down from inpatient rehab, or at an increased risk of relapse often enroll in intensive outpatient programs (IOP). These programs offer high-level support, including multiple therapeutic sessions per week. Clients typically receive between nine and 20 hours of treatment weekly. Intensive outpatient rehabs generally offer an array of services, including individual, group, and family counseling and recovery education. Medication assisted treatment (MAT) is widely available for those in alcohol and/or opioid recovery.

Intervention Services

Intervention services helps family or friends of addicts stage an intervention, which is a meeting in which loved ones share their concerns and attempt to get an addict into treatment. Professional intervention specialists can help loved ones organize, gather, and communicate with an addict. They can guide intervention participants in describing the damage the addict's behavior is causing and that outside help is necessary to address the addiction. The ideal outcome of an intervention is for the addict to go to rehab and get the help they need

Treatments

A combined mental health and substance abuse rehab has the staff and resources available to handle individuals with both mental health and substance abuse issues. It can be challenging to determine where a specific symptom stems from (a mental health issue or an issue related to substance abuse), so mental health and substance abuse professionals are helpful in detangling symptoms and keeping treatment on track.

Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.

Programs

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. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.

Clinical Services

Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.

Great training on foster parenting

Phillip Tolen

I came to this location to get my first aid and CPR certification. The facility was clean and the trainer was awesome. The street to get to the entrance is a little weird but it makes sense due to the traffic in the local intersection.

Thank you for your comments, Phillip. I'm glad that we were able to assist you in getting your First Aid and CPR certification AND that you enjoyed your time with us! Our corner is a confusing one, I agree...but we are glad you found your way to us!
