I have been to Cottonwood a number of times in the last 4 years, and things have gone down hill in a number of ways that I will outline below. You used to be able to knock on Doctor Willie’s office door and he invites you in and share his experience, strength, and hope ...
About Cottonwood Springs
Cottonwood Springs is a mental health and substance use disorder treatment center in Olathe, Kansas. They are accredited by The Joint Commission and offer both inpatient and outpatient programs for adults 18 years and older. The treatment center is an in network provider for most of the major insurance providers. They also have financial counselors who can help you understand your coverage.
It’s important to detox from whatever substances you’re using, so during your initial assessment, the doctors will determine whether you need a supervised detox. They offer an inpatient medically supervised detox program for safe substance use withdrawal. The detox period varies depending on the severity of your substance use, but it can take as long as 10 days. Once you’re stabilized, they’ll encourage your participation in group therapy.
You’ll continue with therapy throughout your inpatient stay. After detox, the doctors may determine you need dual diagnosis treatment. This is treatment for any underlying mental health disorders, which are not uncommon in people with substance use disorder. Often, substances are a way to cope with the symptoms of mental health issues, such as bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, anxiety and depression. Whether you have a dual diagnosis or not, during inpatient addiction treatment, you’ll participate in therapy, educational programs and recreational activities. All therapies are tailored to your unique needs.
Upon discharge, your therapist may want you to move into a partial hospitalization program (PHP). This is a structured outpatient treatment program. The PHP involves treatment five days a week for as much as 12 hours a day. You can live at home while you’re participating in the PHP. You’ll continue intensive therapy with your treatment team. You’ll also have access to healthcare providers. You’ll have recreation opportunities, wellness education, group and family therapy and medication supervision if appropriate.
They also have an intensive outpatient program (IOP) which is appropriate if you need a program but don’t need the intensity of an inpatient program or PHP. The IOP is usually three to five days a week with a few hours of treatment per day. They offer medication management, individual therapy, support meetings and addiction education.

Levels of Care
Intensive Outpatient
The Intensive Outpatient Program provides structured therapy five days a week. Patients typically spend 9-15 hours per week in the program. The treatment model is evidence-based and a combination of nationally-recognized programs including the Hazelden program, motivation enhancement therapy, reality therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, 12-step facilitation, and dialectical behavioral therapy. Recreation, art, and music therapy groups are also provided.
Inpatient
In the Inpatient Program, patients receive detailed clinical and medical assessments, psychiatric stabilization and rehabilitation care. This program offers the advantages of a controlled, structured environment with 24-hour nursing care and intensive treatment not available on an outpatient basis. It may include up to 10 hours per day of programming. During treatment, each patient connects with a treatment team, including a physician, nurse, primary therapist, and recreational therapist. A full schedule of treatment activities addresses the biological, psychological, and relationship skills needed for recovery. These activities include group therapy, fitness and wellness, education lectures, and family engagement, among others.
12-Step
12-step programs are addiction recovery models based on Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). A number of substance abuse programs (including some drug and alcohol rehab centers) use the 12 steps as a basis for treatment. Beginning steps involve admitting powerlessness over the addiction and creating a spiritual basis for recovery. Middle steps including making direct amends to those who've been hurt by the addiction, and the final step is to assist others in addiction recovery in the same way. 12-Step offshoots including Narcotics Anonymous (NA), Cocaine Anonymous (CA), Dual Recovery Anonymous (DRA), Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous (SLAA) and Gamblers Anonymous (GA).
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. 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).
Outpatient
Clients receiving treatment at an outpatient facility are often further along in their recovery journey than those in inpatient care, meaning they may require less intensive supervision and support. Outpatient services generally include addiction counseling, recovery education, and community reintegration support. Most outpatient rehabs offer evening, night, and weekend services to accommodate clients' needs. Clients who are in early recovery or are at an increased relapse risk may enroll in partial hospitalization (PHP) or intensive outpatient (IOP) programs.
Partial Hospitalization Program
A partial hospitalization program (PHP) offers short-term intensive rehab for those who don't require 24-hour care. Often known as "day treatment," a partial hospitalization program allows individuals to receive treatment during the day and return home in the evening. The duration of PHP treatment is flexible, allowing you to actively engage in daily 4-6 hour sessions, at least 5 days a week, for an average of 90 days. PHP treatment encompasses a range of evidence-based therapies and other behavioral therapy interventions.
Medically Assisted Detox
Physical withdrawal can be uncomfortable, and in severe cases, it can even be dangerous. In an inpatient environment, a medically assisted detox is performed by a team of licensed medical professionals who monitor your vitals, provide medications when necessary, and ensure your safety, health, and comfort during this process. Medical detox is usually the very first step in the recovery process.
24-Hour Clinical Care
Detox treatment varies, but it always involves 24-hour clinical care in Kansas. This supervision is necessary to ensure a safe detox process. Time frame for this level of treatment depends on the severity and type of the addiction. Common time frames include 5-day detox and 7-day detox. Rapid detox programs are also available that are as short as 24 hours. Regardless of the time frame, constant supervision by experienced staff is an essential component.

Treatment
Alcoholism
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.
Drug Addiction
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.
Dual Diagnosis
Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.
Mental Health and Substance Abuse
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 Addiction
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.
Clinical Services
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
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.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy
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.
Family Therapy
Families have the opportunity to participate in education and support groups to increase their understanding of mental illness. This process helps them learn about themselves and their roles and responsibilities in the recovery process. With this important information in hand, the family has a greater opportunity to reunite and start interacting in a more helpful and healthy manner.
Group Therapy
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.
Individual Therapy
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
The goal of trauma therapy is to address the lingering emotional and physical responses from witnessing or experiencing a traumatic event. Your therapist helps you develop strategies that manage your symptoms while processing the traumatic memories. This improves your overall well being and reduces your physical and emotional responses to triggers.
Life Skills
By learning life skills during rehab in Kansas, you can learn how to manage daily life in recovery. These skills will help you establish a new and independent life. They'll help you develop a healthy daily routine, practice self care, and cultivate healthy relationships.
Nutrition Therapy
Long term substance use causes chemical imbalances in the body that cause cravings, depression, and other conditions that perpetuate the cycle of addiction. Nutrition therapy addresses these imbalances by providing the foods your body needs for optimal function.
