About Heartland Center for Behavioral Change – KC Outpatient
The Heartland Center for Behavioral Change has a location in Kansas City, Missouri. They’re a CARF-accredited treatment center, and they offer outpatient treatment for substance use disorder and behavioral health, such as co-occurring disorders. They treat men and women aged 18 and up.
They were founded in 1982 as a charitable, nonprofit organization. They use programs developed by the American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM).
The center operates through funding partners such as the City of Kansas City and the Office of State Courts Administrator. They’re also funded by Missouri’s Medicaid program. They have many other funding sources so you won’t be denied treatment if you’re unable to pay. Most of the substance use disorder (SUD) treatment services are low cost and no cost. There’s also a discounted and sliding fee schedule.
At first, you’ll meet with a licensed mental health professional. You’ll also see a qualified SUD professional for a comprehensive assessment. After the results, you and your team will come up with a treatment plan. The length of the treatment varies depending on your individual needs. Treatment includes different types of therapy, counseling, and medication if appropriate.
They use the Comprehensive Substance Treatment and Rehabilitation (CSTAR) program. The CSTAR program is an outpatient program that includes assessment, detox, and educational services. It also includes intensive outpatient treatment and even housing services.
The outpatient programs vary in intensity depending on your substance use. You may meet daily or monthly. You’ll have individual and group counseling. They offer peer support services, self help groups, and dialectic education groups.
If you’re involved in the legal system, they also use moral reconation therapy (MRT) which helps reduce criminal behaviors and thinking. It also helps you establish better goals, moral reasoning, impulse control, and empathy.
You’ll also continue with medication support if necessary. Substance use and addiction are family issues, so your family is encouraged to participate in the treatment program too.

Levels of Care
Medically 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. Heartland Center for Behavioral Health also offers Medically Monitored Inpatient Detoxification in an inpatient basis for individuals dealing with withdrawals acute symptoms from alcohol and other drugs. Length of stay varies depending on the individual's needs but it usually lasts 5 days.
24-Hour Clinical Care
At certain points in the recovery process, it's important to have support available 24/7. 24-hour clinical care offers a safe environment in which to recover from drug or alcohol addiction in peace, knowing medical detox and other treatment will happen with professionals on hand.
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.
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).
Intensive Outpatient
Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) 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 substance abuse treatment programs vary in duration and intensity, and certain outpatient rehab centers will offer individualized treatment programs.
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.

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
Drug rehab in Missouri usually involves several phases: detox, rehab, and aftercare. The rehab phase may include a combination of inpatient and outpatient treatments, as the individual moves through a continuum of care on their recovery journey.
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.

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.
