Just went in for my first initial visit today. All of the staff were incredibly kind, helpful, and very empathetic. The front desk ladies were so nice and awesome to chat with. Dominic, the man who did my evaluation questionnaire, was incredibly kind, empathetic, so thoughtful, and so helpful. There were times during the evaluation where I was very tearful and upset about my situation, and he was an amazing listener and gave great support. I had an awesome first visit, and I hope that the rest of my visits go the same way. :) Thank you to everyone who helped me today because I desperately need it

This is an incredible resource for mental health in Jackson County. I ve utilized their services and despite some communication issues, they are always so kind and accommodating. Many negative experiences I see are from people already dealing with a lot of stress outside of this facility, and aren t patient going into it.Like other bureaucratic services, it helps going into this place with a mindful and patient attitude, if you can.

I have worked with this organization and have several contacts enroll and receive services here. They are one of the best around if you are struggling with alcohol or substance use disorder. Very compassionate and genuinely want to help those that are wanting and needing to make positive changes in their lives. BECKY PELLEHAM IS ABSOLUTELY THE BEST. MAKE SURE YOU ASK TO MEET HER WHEN YOU ARE ON SITE. SHE IS EXTREMELY RESOURCEFUL, AND IF SHE SEES THAT YOU ARE TAKING YOUR RECOVERY SERIOUS AND TRYING TO BETTER YOUR LIFE THEN THE SKYS THE LIMIT AS FAR AS WHAT SHE CAN DO FOR YOU. I wouldn't mislead or try to benefit from someone seeking recovery as so many people and places do. This is the best place around especially if you dont have private health insurance.

Coming from a former client that spent 2 months there and is now 3 months out, Embark truly was amazing. Sure, there were some ups and downs, but that comes with anywhere you go. Most of the staff there were incredibly nice and supportive, and I built bonds with them. I also throughly enjoyed therapy there, since my therapist (Casey) was easy to connect with and seen straight through my tough shell that only 1 other therapist (out of many) was able to see through. He worked with me incredibly, guiding me through my intense emotions and helping me learn new skills that I hadn t learned before. The programming there was amazing, allowing for flexibility depending on each client. The only issue I had while at Embark was the drama, but that also comes with my decisions that I made, so I don t hold it against them. As long as you focus on yourself, everything is pretty good there. I would honestly send my own kid, in the future, here. I really enjoyed the process in which everyone worked with you, and it improved my mental health alot. Truest thank you s to Embark!!

Independence is the 156th most expensive city nationwide for addiction treatment affordability, with an average cost of addiction treatment of $56883. This is comparable to the average cost of $56782 for addiction treatment in Missouri and comparable to the national average cost for drug rehab of $57,193.
The costs of drug and alcohol rehab in Independence vary widely and depend on several factors, including:
The costs of addiction treatment listed for cities and states are averages based on the cost of medical detox, inpatient rehab, outpatient rehab, and medication assisted treatment. These averages are high due to the cost of medical detoxification and residential inpatient rehab programs.
These numbers also reflect the raw cost of drug rehab, before any insurance coverage. The typical individual seeking addiction treatment can expect to pay much less for outpatient or intensive outpatient services than the averages listed below.There are many ways to pay for drug rehab in Independence. Most rehab treatment centers accept cash or self-payment, as well as private health insurance. However, there are many treatment centers in Independence that accept Medicaid and Medicare, or offer sliding scale payments or other low-cost payment options. Here's the complete breakdown of how to pay for addiction treatment near Independence.
Blue Cross Blue Shield is the most widely-accepted insurance for drug rehabs in Independence, with 3 treatment centers in the city accepting their insurance. Aetna is the 2nd most popular with 2 treatment centers accepting it followed by Cigna in 3rd accepted by 2 drug rehabs.
Independence has the 241st highest rate of drug use nationwide among nearly 400 cities surveyed. This number reflects the combined use of cocaine, heroin, meth, and marijuana, displayed individually below. The percent shown for each drug represents the number of residents in Jackson county that have reported ever using the following drugs, so these numbers should not be interpreted as direct evidence of current drug use in Independence or Jackson county as a whole.
In 2023, Independence had the 139th highest number narcotics violations out of 330 cities nationwide, with a total of 533 reported drug-related incidents that year. This includes cases of public intoxication, drug arrests, narcotics found during house calls and traffic stops, and any other drug-related crime.
Keep in mind these numbers are dependent on accurate record keeping and reporting laws by local police and sheriffs, and may not fully reflect all drug related crime in Independence.All values are per 100,000 population.
