Heartland Center for Behavioral Change

About Heartland Center for Behavioral Change

Adults in Liberty, Missouri who need alcohol and drug rehab services can receive support through the Heartland Center for Behavioral Change. They have been in operation for 40 years and provide an array of services to help clients break free from addiction. You can get medical detox, residential treatment, and outpatient care. They also have medication assisted treatment, which is called MAT. They offer most services at a low cost or no cost based on a sliding fee schedule.

The medical detoxification program helps clients withdraw from addictive substances so they can be as healthy as possible when they enter the next phase of recovery. The program includes medical treatment of symptoms. For those who use opioids or alcohol, MAT can allow them to stay on medication to manage cravings and avoid relapse during treatment.

After detox, outpatient treatment is available. One of the most interesting features of this rehab is that there is no cap on how long this program should last. Instead of requiring clients to complete their plan within a pre-determined timeframe, the team allows them to work at their own pace as they complete their custom treatment plan. They believe that recovery is a personal journey that can’t be rushed. They offer different degrees of outpatient treatment that vary from daily services to monthly support. Some of the available services include group-based and individual counseling sessions, peer based support groups, recovery-focused education, and medication management.

They encourage family members to take an active role in their loved one’s recovery, They also provide referrals and connections to community services so clients can continue participating in counseling, support groups, and other recovery resources once they leave the program.

Clients note that the atmosphere at the facility is organized and respectful. They have received four consecutive CARF accreditations, which speaks to their commitment to quality care.

Levels of Care

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.

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).

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 Abuse

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.

Clinical Services

Family Therapy

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

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.
