I went to see a dentist there and the receptionist was very nice, polite, helpful. I went back and right away they did a full mouth x-ray. Dr came in and looked at the X-ray of the tooth that was giving me problems she said that it needed to be taken out. I agreed. She gave me 4 rounds of numbing medicine before they were able to pull it out. She had told me that it was infected and that's why it took so much numbing medicine. Overall I had a good experience with them. No complaints from me.

I would give 0 stars if I can. Horrible experience; it took 15 minute for someone to help me at the front desk for a SCHEDULED time and then for them to tell me they can t see my child. Unclear communication, long wait, impatient staff. I would go somewhere else instead of wasting your time here.

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.

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.

Financial aid can take many forms. Centers may have grants or scholarships available to clients who meet eligibility requirements. Programs that receive SAMHSA grants may have financial aid available for those who need treatment as well. Grants and scholarships can help you pai for treatment without having to repay.

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.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

outpatient iconOutpatient
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.
aftercare iconAftercare Support
Completing a drug or alcohol rehab program shouldn't spell the end of substance abuse treatment. Aftercare involves making a sustainable plan for recovery, including ongoing support. This can include sober living arrangements like halfway houses, career counseling, and setting a patient up with community programs like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA).

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.

The length, intensity, setting, and treatment methods vary for each drug rehab in Kansas. Plans of care can be tailored to meet each person's own unique situation and needs. With the right program, individuals can successfully achieve long-term sobriety.

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

adult-program thumbnail image
Adult Program
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-adult-program thumbnail image
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

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a modified form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a treatment designed to help people understand and ultimately affect the relationship between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. DBT is often used for individuals who struggle with self-harm behaviors, such as self-mutilation (cutting) and suicidal thoughts, urges, or attempts. It has been proven clinically effective for those who struggle with out-of-control emotions and mental health illnesses like Borderline Personality Disorder.

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.

Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.

Today (4/28/25), I called and scheduled an appointment to have a tooth removed. When I showed up they didn't want to proceed until they had a full mouth xray and two x-rays of the tooth I wanted removed. I told them I was concerned about radiation exposure and did not want any x-rays. They refused to treat me unless they had the x-rays. I was able to get my old dentist to send the full mouth x-ray to them, then I gave in and let then take the two x-rays of the tooth. Dr. Reed said she didn't see anything wrong, so she would not remove the tooth. After getting frustrated with Dr. Reed's condescension, I asked for a dentist that would remove the tooth. Then Dr. Hunter came and said the same thing. I made sure to tell both doctors this tooth was causing excruciating pain and I just wanted it removed. But since they could not tell why it was hurting, neither would remove it. This was even after Dr. Reed stated that there could be a crack in the tooth that would not show up on an xray. Dr. Hunter prescribed me some drug I can't afford and told me to floss better and made an appointment for the next week, where I will presumably have to pay their fee again. I am so disappointed in Hunter Health Clinic. All I wanted was a simple procedure and to be done with the pain, but they refused to treat me. It is my belief that they just want another consultation fee and could not care less about the pain their patients are in. 0 out if 10, I would not recommend Hunter Health Clinic, Dr. Reed or Dr. Hunter.

Wouldn't recommend for adults or kids. The only thing good is dr augustin but you can barely see him when you need him . Walk in dockets for them means you have to make an appointment. It's not ok

Incompetent Dr. Smith, who simply says all your issues are because you're fat (even though all issues were present before weight gain) and doesn't listen and doesn't care and doesn't make you feel AT ALL comfortable or safe, refuses to fill medication if you haven't been in office and then you can't get an appointment anyway cause it's a 20 minute hold every time you call or she isn't available and you can't see anyone else according to them. So days without medication I need that is causing severe side effects and having to take off work. And they don't care. Holding it hostage. I thought it was "do no harm" yet here we are. I'm sure she will blame me, but there's a strong reason I avoid going into that clinic. And it's her. I should sue for causing illness due to withheld medication.

Sat on hold for about 14 minutes with a tooth in such severe pain that I was literally screaming. Instead of even being able to leave a message, I got a busy tone before my call was disconnected. If I could leave negative stars, I absolutely would.

I'm a very proud Cherokee I've been a patient when I was a young man with the clinic I'm older now and unfortunately can't afford health insurance right now I started going back to the clinic again at first everything seemed as it used to be now not so much I have called and left messages and according to the recording they have you will receive a same day call back as long as the message is left before 3pm that hasn't happened it makes me feel that although the clinic has expanded to serving the entire community the Native American people are no longer important I didn't want to make a trip back to my hometown of Tahlequah Oklahoma but it looks like I might have to spend money I don't have to go get treated there if this is an indication on how I will be treated
