About Gateway Foundation — Kansas City Reentry Center
Gateway Foundation is a non-profit organization located in Kansas City, Missouri. They offer behavioral health treatment for co-occurring mental health issues and substance use disorders (SUD). They are located near Highway 71, close to Lakeside Nature Center, Town Creek Park and the Kansas City Zoo and Aquarium.
When you first arrive at Gateway, they will provide you with a full medical assessment to determine your need for stabilization care to address your co-occurring mental health and SUD conditions. As an outpatient facility, they will offer you referrals for acute or immediate stabilization care to address a mental health crisis and/or SUD addiction withdrawal symptoms.
Care and Support Through Prison and Correctional Programs
They specialize in providing care and support for prison programs, providing in-prison therapy and counseling services as well as medication management and assessments. They also work with the court system and accept court-mandated clients into probation programs that provide educational services and therapy support to address DUI/DWI convictions.
Supportive Services for Community Reintegration
I like that these programs are intended to prevent individuals from re-committing criminal offenses, as they learn to focus on accountability, the consequences of repeat offenses and negative behaviors. They’ll also learn to recognize triggers and situations that may lead to relapse and negative consequences. They also provide resources to help them safely and successfully transition back into their communities.
More Than 55 Years of Care Across Multiple States
This center has offered services to the community for more than 55 years, including locations in multiple states. They serve various populations and work with community programs to provide aftercare support and referrals to additional levels of treatment, job placements and educational programs.
Their programs are cost-effective, offering self-payment and payments through state and government-funded care. They will also help you develop coping skills, social skills and life skills to continue on your journey to a healthier lifestyle that is free from substance use addiction.

Accepted Insurance
Other Forms of Payment
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.
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.

Treatments
The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.
Drug rehab in Missouri usually involves several phases: detox, rehab, and aftercare. The rehab phase may include a combination of inpatient and outpatient treatments, as the individual moves through a continuum of care on their recovery journey.
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.
Substance abuse treatment programs in Missouri help individuals struggling with substance abuse and co-occurring mental health disorders. These programs utilize evidence-based therapies like cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and mindfulness-based interventions. With a range of treatment options available, including outpatient, inpatient, and residential programs, you can find the right program to meet your unique needs and improve your quality of life.

Clinical Services
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.
The goal of cognitive behavioral therapy in Missouri is to help clients change their thinking and behavioral patterns. Strategies of treatment include role playing, facing fears, and calming techniques.
Motivational interviewing is a short term method often used during drug rehab in Missouri. It typically lasts one or two sessions, with the goal of facilitating conversation about change. The client should leave the sessions feeling more decisive and secure in their ability to make the changes they desire in their life.
