About Center For Change

Center For Change is a Wichita, Kansas, drug rehab. They specialize in client centered medical detox and outpatient care for opioid use disorders (OUD) and mental health. Voluntary or court ordered adults benefit from an integrated treatment approach that includes evidence based therapies, education and medication assisted treatment (MAT).

They help clients manage withdrawal symptoms and cravings with MAT. Addiction specialists incorporate Suboxone with education and behavioral therapies to help clients achieve their recovery goals.

This place has a bad reputation and now I know why! I waited over 2 hrs for them to deny me because I had 2 auto immune diseases. Made me take a preg. test in my 50's. They were even going to try to lower my dose because of my auto immune diseases, even though I had been on that dose for a long time. The rules are harsher here than any other clinic. Unprofessional! Judgmental! Go somewhere else if you want a fair, non judgmental place that has their act together! Seriously, was the worst experience ever and a huge waste of my time. The Dr. couldn't even show up on time. I got there at 9am as scheduled and by 10:30, he still wasnt there. Im not convinced the staff or councellors have much experience in drugs. The admissions woman I spoke to didnt. It was obvious. Overall, thumbs down!! Would never have walked through that door if I knew I was going to be treated like that!

Other Forms of Payment

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.

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.
medically-assisted-detox iconMedically Assisted Detox
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. Detox is the process of removing drugs and/or alcohol from the body, a process that can be lethal if mismanaged. Medical detox is done by licensed medical professionals who monitor vital signs and keep you safe, healthy, and as comfortable as possible as you go through detox and withdrawal. The length of stay at the detoxification program is determined according to the specific needs of the patient.

Treatments

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

Teen Program
Teen programs are designed to address the unique pressures teens face, pressures that can drive them to experiment with dangerous, addictive substances. They need programs that meet them exactly where they are and give them tools for long-term recovery. Therapy can help teenagers understand and work through underlying issues so they can reclaim the life ahead of them.
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.
program-for-men thumbnail image
Program For Men
Men face specific challenges and concerns when seeking addiction treatment. Gender-specific recovery programs help them tackle these issues head-on in an environment that's focused, targeted, and distraction-free. It also gives them the opportunity to connect with and learn from other men who have been through a similar journey and can offer support for the next step.
program-for-women thumbnail image
Program For Women
Rehabs for women provide a safe, nurturing space for female clients to heal. These treatment programs consider the specific obstacles that women can face during recovery and place a special emphasis on mental, social, physical, and reproductive health. They explore how each woman's experience has shaped the trajectory of their substance use, addressing issues such as sexual abuse and past trauma.

Clinical Services

If your therapist applies methods of cognitive behavioral therapy in Kansas, you can expect to gain a better understanding of your thoughts and behaviors and learn how to cope with difficult situations without using substances. This method is a proven technique for treating substance use and mental health disorders.

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.

When applying motivational interviewing, your therapist will ask open ended questions that encourage you to think differently about your challenges. They will also affirm your strengths and abilities. They will then offer empathy and reflect your thoughts back to you so you can identify any discrepancies in your current behaviors and your future goals.

counselor Barb genuinely cares & will go out of her way to help however she can! Julie at the front desk is always so sweet & radiates positive energy. Dosing nurse Linda is an angel. When i was struggling she took the time to talk with me & ask if i was okay. What I really appreciate about this clinic is the staff bc they go above and beyond!

What is the fastest someone could get an intake? How long after intake before they would be able to get suboxone strips? Does intake require a certain amount of sober time, if so how long?Note: I just realized I wasnt in the Q/A section after posing this lmao

Nice place to go to get help for opioid addiction. Most of the staff are friendly, and the nurses are sweet and get the job done quickly. They have two dosing windows that help the line move faster, usually.

Moved here from Denver and started treatment here after going through 6 days of withdrawal. It's been a month and a half and my counselor Chad, Receptionist Tina and well all of the staff here have just been absolutely incredible, caring and non judgemental. Check in with me everyday to make sure my dose is holding up okay and to make sure I'm holding up. This place saved my life and is helping me continue to be the best wife and mother I can be. Thank you.

Changing my 5 star to a 1. These ppl could care less about your recovery. And try not to be in a bind of any kind bc they DON'T CARE. THEY Don't CARE ABOUT YOUR ADDICTION OR PROBLEMS. It's like they get you hooked on this stuff, and then BAMM... their true colors show. No different than a "street pharmacist" it's sad. They call it liquid hand cuffs for a reason. If you're smart, never go up to 15mg and try to wing yourself off within a few months and be done with these ppl. I wish I did Just some advice...and I've lost many teeth, all of my energy, and gained over 100lbs...
