About Mirror
Mirror is a nonprofit substance use and mental health disorder treatment facility. They have 10 locations in the Kansas area, including a facility in Shawnee. The Shawnee location provides residential and outpatient services for substance use and co-occurring disorders. They accept most insurance including Medicaid from United Healthcare, Sunflower/Cenpatico and Aetna. They also treat people who are uninsured or underinsured using grant funds.
The program offers medication-assisted treatment (MAT) using medications such as methadone, buprenorphine, naltrexone and naloxone to treat alcohol and opioid use disorders. The residential program starts with an assessment to determine your needs and identify strengths. During your stay, therapists will give you the necessary tools for managing your life. With the therapist’s help, you’ll identify any co-occurring mental health disorders such as depression or anxiety.
Identifying co-occurring disorders is important to the recovery process. Many people with substance use and addiction issues have other mental health challenges. Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a common problem that leads to or exacerbates substance use. You’ll get to the bottom of these issues so you can work toward better coping strategies that help your recovery. You’ll attend individual and group therapy to help you process your underlying issues.
There are also two outpatient programs at the facility. There’s an intensive outpatient program (IOP) and a regular outpatient program. The IOP is appropriate for clients who don’t have a lot of community support. You’ll live at home but attend during the week. You’ll get nine to 15 hours of weekly treatment over the course of three or more days a week. You’ll participate in individual and group therapy.
The regular outpatient program is for those with better support at home or in the community. You’ll live at home and attend individual and group therapy during the week. You can also attend therapy through Telehealth services if you lack transportation or have other reasons you can’t make it to the program.

Thank you for your kind words Patrick! If you need anything during your recovery please reach out and let us know.
I left that place yesterday, I only lasted 5 days. I'm Honduran. I have a very strong problem with cocaine. I was going to do my 28 days, but since I arrived, they treated me with a lot of indifference, even though I'm 6 months pregnant. They don't care about my older age. The workers treated me badly, they didn't give me my medication, they discriminated against me too much for being Latina and someone called Tara who works there is disastrous and very bad, she treated me the worst. I don't recommend that place.

Hello China, We are sorry to hear you didn t have a positive experience at our facility. We would like to visit with you more to hear about your experience. Please reach out Ashley Rhodes, Director of Human Resources at 316-283-6743 ext. 105 to discuss your concerns further.
Kendra the head clinical counselor is not there to help clients. She's there to inflate her own ego over others. If your court ordered to be there then I'm sorry. If you don't have insurance look around and travel if you need to in order to avoid this facility. They even promoted a tech to a counselor. A tech who in the past degraded many clients. The director however is amazing and I love her to death. Unfortunately she has the wrong people working underneath her. This review isn't meant to bash the facility. It's to make others aware of what they are getting themselves into.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Intensive Outpatient Intensive Outpatient programs 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 allows the patients to live in their own while attending to the treatment. The length of stay is four to six weeks.
Aftercare 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. Their Aftercare program provides counseling on an on-going basis for clients who have already completed treatment in either a residential or intensive outpatient addiction treatment. This helps clients ease back into their everyday lives without feeling out of control or falling back into destructive habits.
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.
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 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
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
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.
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.
Life skills trainings involve all the skills a person must have in order to function successfully in the world. These include time management, career guidance, money management, and effective communication. Truly successful addiction recovery is based on the ability to not only live substance-free, but to thrive. Life skills teaches the practical necessities of functioning in society, which sets clients up for success in life, and therefore sobriety.
Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a clinical approach to helping people with substance abuse issues and other conditions shift behavior in positive ways. It is more goal-oriented than traditional psychotherapy, as MI counselors directly attempt to get clients to consider making behavioral change (rather than wait for them to come to conclusions themselves). Its primary purpose is to resolve ambivalence and help clients become able to make healthy choices freely.
