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.

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).

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.

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

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

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.

Trauma Therapy

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.

Hunter health really don't care about my health. I was supposed to be seen within 3-5 days after my release from the hospital on August 2nd for sepsis pneumonia, I was told by my hospital doctor, that Hunter health agreed to see me once I was released if I was feeling bad and for continued health concerns and also for a check-up appointment within 3-5 days. I had to constantly call to try to get a appointment sooner than two weeks out they were trying to give me. I finally called and was able to get in sooner because someone cancelled their appointment but only because I called them even though I asked to be put on the cancellation list. The nurse Alexa is a rude human she's never once been nice to me when asking questions. I would think if you work in healthcare you would have some compassion for a person that just needs care. I supposedly have a care team not sure how that's supposed to help the few times I talk to Amber from my care team she hasn't been able to do anything but say yes the back pain is normal and told me to do a walk-in and I did that and all they did was take my vitals and listen to me and tell me it's not worth doing blood work or an x-ray since it was a Friday and they wouldn't get the rest back till later in the week. I was also told to just take Tylenol and ibuprofen for the severe back pain even though I told her I have already been doing that it's not helping it's all skeletal pain from the sepsis pneumon I fully agree that could be the diagnosis for the pain. What I don't understand is why not give me something to help ease the pain, yet again no one really cares at Hunter health. I am so very disappointed in Hunter health I have been going to them for years but in the most critical time I need proper care they have failed me. I will not be going to tham any longer. If I could I'd give a zero.

The only reason I don't give one stars is because nobody puts any creedence in a one star.This would actually be less than a one star.They're deck their doctor's really ought to be all accused of malpractice.Their dental doctor Dr Jones every every feeling he's put in my mouth is falling out.So for me I just as soon and drive to tahlequah and get my calves at $100 instead of the $300 they charge here.So if you have any kind of insurance pick anybody but these people.It's like as soon as they find out you it's you're on the Indian Health services from the staff.They think that you're getting something for nothing and so therefore you know it's like how dare you show up hereI think the only person that actually cares for anybody there is name is Newman Washington.I believe him to be a good guy but you know they even took rights away from him to help schedule people in so they don't really care about him either.Horrible horrible horrible facility!!!!!!

I ve been up for 40 minutes waiting for them just to sign a piece of paper. I told them I was in a hurry for my job. But they didn t care. So I missed out on taking my physical and possibly missed out on my new job because they re too busy to sign a piece of paper that takes 12 seconds. No urgency and absolutely no care

I'll give em 5 just for being here. It's not IHS unless you have a complaint. If you have used IHS on the reservation well this place is pretty good. Reservation is a place we're Native Americans live because the government beat and killed NativeAmericans this is just a runner up benefit.

At first I was excited to receive care in Kansas but over time it became increasingly difficult to get personal and positive care. When scheduling visits the wait is about two months. I didn't know for nine months you could be booked on a same day service. I patiently and sufferingly waited my turn. The nurse gets just about everything backwards and is your only access to your doctor by phone. I've been waiting two months for a medication pre authorization. After my last visit I felt dismissed and admonished for my medical conditions. This is some sort of Rural charter protected from legal liability for inadequate services. I would recommend finding care elsewhere.
