About Synergy Services
Located about 25 minutes from downtown Kansas City, Synergy Services in Parkville, Missouri, helps individuals and families impacted by violence. While they focus on educating the local community about how to prevent violence, they help clients find immediate relief from dangerous situations through their crisis hotline and emergency shelter.
As part of the comprehensive care they offer, individuals experiencing substance use disorders (SUD) and mental health issues can get treatment at one of their area locations. They serve clients of all ages.
What makes Synergy Services stand out in the Kansas City Metro is their wide range of treatment options. Whether you need addiction treatment or help escaping violence, this is a safe place where you and your family can begin recovery.
Comprehensive Addiction Treatment for Adults
Many addiction treatment centers only treat the SUD, leaving the rest of the problem to be fixed by juggling appointments with various providers. That’s not how things work here.
Adults, including seniors, can get help working through addiction and mental health issues in one place. Sometimes called dual diagnoses, it’s not uncommon to experience mental health conditions like depression or anxiety alongside an SUD.
The professional therapists here use several proven treatment methods. You may participate in trauma based therapy, which could include EMDR, a therapy that helps you process and heal from traumatic memories by using guided eye movements. They also use expressive methods like art and sand tray therapy to help you express emotions.
Mental Healthcare and Connection for Youth
At the Youth Resiliency Center, youth from the Kansas City Metro have a safe space where they can participate in a range of fun activities. Everything here is about helping teens build confidence through healthy connections.
The youth center is a 10,000 square foot facility that includes a computer lab and a recording studio. There’s also a gym and a teaching kitchen. Activities range from art classes to learning how to cook. Teens are encouraged to bring their friends.
Teens also come here for counseling services. Whether they’re struggling with a substance use disorder or mental issues like depression, teens can get outpatient mental health treatment right here at the Center.
Latest Reviews
I won't pretend to understand how challenging social work is. It takes a special person to invest themselves in doing something for others because it is right while knowing that they will never see or hear the positive results of their care.
I don't know how they do it, but the staff here can help you understand the complexity of trauma and the seemingly insurmountable tangle of events that occur before, during and after. This is only possible through a diverse network of supportive services. A comprehensive approach from shelters, counseling, childrens play therapy and on; they offer the greatest hope of a stable future for victims and family's. They also have an amazing program for perpetrators of domestic violence. Holding individuals accountable and offering a path to being a better non-abusive person.
Reach out and they'll help. If they can't do it directly due to the overwhelming demand on them, they can at least offer other resources. And if you ever get a chance, thank them for the lives they've touched and never knew they have saved.
I'm 53 now but when I was 15yrs old I got in trouble and had to choose between Juvenile in liberty mo and synergy house in parkville and I chose synergy house and was allowed to run away .. they didn't care then and I'm sure they don't now.
Synergy Services helped me and my daughter after a formerly trusted adult male in my home was inappropriate around my 15 year old daughter. They helped me to get him removed from our home, take care of the police angle, and offered us both incredible mental health services after the incident! Thanks Synergy!

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.
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.
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.
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.
Inpatient 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
Mental health rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from mental illnesses like bipolar disorder, clinical depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, and more. Mental health professionals at these facilities are trained to understand and treat mental health issues, both in individual and group settings.
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.
Whether a marriage or other committed relationship, an intimate partnership is one of the most important aspects of a person's life. Drug and alcohol addiction affects both members of a couple in deep and meaningful ways, as does rehab and recovery. Couples therapy and other couples-focused treatment programs are significant parts of exploring triggers of addiction, as well as learning how to build healthy patterns to support ongoing sobriety.
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.
Experiential therapy is a form of therapy in which clients are encouraged to surface and work through subconscious issues by engaging in real-time experiences. Experiential therapy departs from traditional talk therapy by involving the body, and having clients engage in activities, movements, and physical and emotional expression. This can involve role-play or using props (which can include other people). Experiential therapy can help people process trauma, memories, and emotion quickly, deeply, and in a lasting fashion, leading to substantial and impactful healing.
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.
