About Heartland Center for Behavioral Change – KC Outpatient
They were founded in 1982 as a charitable, nonprofit organization. They use programs developed by the American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM).
The center operates through funding partners such as the City of Kansas City and the Office of State Courts Administrator. They’re also funded by Missouri’s Medicaid program. They have many other funding sources so you won’t be denied treatment if you’re unable to pay. Most of the substance use disorder (SUD) treatment services are low cost and no cost. There’s also a discounted and sliding fee schedule.
At first, you’ll meet with a licensed mental health professional. You’ll also see a qualified SUD professional for a comprehensive assessment. After the results, you and your team will come up with a treatment plan. The length of the treatment varies depending on your individual needs. Treatment includes different types of therapy, counseling, and medication if appropriate.
They use the Comprehensive Substance Treatment and Rehabilitation (CSTAR) program. The CSTAR program is an outpatient program that includes assessment, detox, and educational services. It also includes intensive outpatient treatment and even housing services.
The outpatient programs vary in intensity depending on your substance use. You may meet daily or monthly. You’ll have individual and group counseling. They offer peer support services, self help groups, and dialectic education groups.
If you’re involved in the legal system, they also use moral reconation therapy (MRT) which helps reduce criminal behaviors and thinking. It also helps you establish better goals, moral reasoning, impulse control, and empathy.
You’ll also continue with medication support if necessary. Substance use and addiction are family issues, so your family is encouraged to participate in the treatment program too.

Drama in the center nextdoor alot of petty drama food is like dog food
As much as a hate rehab this was my final step to complete parole . @45 days at this facility I was clean and had a full time job with alpla the factory . I was also able to save a bit of money while here because I didn’t have to pay rent . After 15 days in the rehab they give you your phone. It’s rough the first two weeks.. when I was there, there were a few guys that had lived there for a year
These people never answer the phone I've been calling a week straight for a family member that needs food they told me I can drop off anytime now they're telling me food can only be dropped off on Friday. After them not answering the phone I drove all the way down there to get the answer to my question which they gave me a lie. I would not recommend this place for any of your family members.

Other Forms of Payment
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.
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
Drug and alcohol addiction often takes a heavy toll on one's body. Over time, a physical dependence can develop, meaning the body physiologically needs the substance to function. Heartland Center for Behavioral Health also offers Medically Monitored Inpatient Detoxification in an inpatient basis for individuals dealing with withdrawals acute symptoms from alcohol and other drugs. Length of stay varies depending on the individual's needs but it usually lasts 5 days.
At certain points in the recovery process, it's important to have support available 24/7. 24-hour clinical care offers a safe environment in which to recover from drug or alcohol addiction in peace, knowing medical detox and other treatment will happen with professionals on hand.
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.
12-step programs are addiction recovery models based on Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). A number of substance abuse programs (including some drug and alcohol rehab centers) use the 12 steps as a basis for treatment. Beginning steps involve admitting powerlessness over the addiction and creating a spiritual basis for recovery. Middle steps including making direct amends to those who've been hurt by the addiction, and the final step is to assist others in addiction recovery in the same way. 12-Step offshoots including Narcotics Anonymous (NA), Cocaine Anonymous (CA), Dual Recovery Anonymous (DRA), Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous (SLAA) and Gamblers Anonymous (GA).
Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) are for those who want or need a very structured treatment program but who also wish to live at home and continue with certain responsibilities (such as work or school). IOP substance abuse treatment programs vary in duration and intensity, and certain outpatient rehab centers will offer individualized treatment programs.
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.
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.
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 rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.
Programs
Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. 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 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.
