Insynergy is an excellent program. I found it to be a highly personalized and comprehensive program. Dr. Taca and staff are caring and compassionate. Alcohol is a tough substance to quit and Insynergy gave me the tools to do just that. I m on my way to 4 years sobriety thanks to them.

I joined INSynergy in April 2019. This practice is TRULY personalized as advertised. I felt that I was treated as a person, in addition to being a patient. Kindness, compassion, empathy, was what I received from the professional staff. When I slipped from sobriety on occasion, I was not judged. I felt that the staff was there to listen, to offer suggestions on what my triggers were for these slips. I have always thought that alcoholism is a disease. For me, recovery is a health issue, not a moral issue as I used to find in some 12 step programs. I am truly impressed by the programs, both individual and group which INSynergy offers. I have met lovely people who share my frustration with the disease. It feels good not to be alone. Thank you, Dr. Taca, and your wonderful staff for the opportunities you have given me these past 3 years. Julie

Other Forms of Payment

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.
aftercare iconAftercare 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).

Treatments

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 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.

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.

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 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.

Programs

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.
young-adult-program thumbnail image
Young Adult Program
Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.

Clinical Services

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.

Whether a marriage or other committed relationship, an intimate partnership is one of the most important aspects of a person's life. Drug and alcohol addiction affects both members of a couple in deep and meaningful ways, as does rehab and recovery. Couples therapy and other couples-focused treatment programs are significant parts of exploring triggers of addiction, as well as learning how to build healthy patterns to support ongoing sobriety.

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 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.

Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a clinical approach to helping people with substance abuse issues and other conditions shift behavior in positive ways. It is more goal-oriented than traditional psychotherapy, as MI counselors directly attempt to get clients to consider making behavioral change (rather than wait for them to come to conclusions themselves). Its primary purpose is to resolve ambivalence and help clients become able to make healthy choices freely.

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.

The cost for 'treatment' is really out of this world. Specifically, they push extraordinarily expensive versions of the same drugs you can get in a generic drugstore for 10 bucks a month. I think it is not worth that much money.

THANK YOU! This facility allowed me to quit suboxone and experience virtually no withdrawal symptoms. I cannot stress what an amazing device the Bridge is; please look into it if you or someone else feels trapped. I no longer have that constant fear in the back of my mind that I will have to worry about being sick if I don't have my medicine. I don't ever want to feel that restricted again.Everyone at the office literally took care of all my needs at all hours of the day/night during the final withdrawal period. If I recall, I believe they told me that the most important thing to know about the device, is that it MUST be put on at the proper time during the withdrawal onset symptoms for maximum results (according to COWS scoring). Also, don't forget about PAWS afterwards. It's a huge decision, don't just listen to me...The team will educate you on anything you are unsure of. I felt comfortable and safe the entire time though. Basically, I finally feel like I am fully in control of my life again. Thank you, everyone.So, if you are at a low enough dose of whatever and are ready to make the jump, please do yourself a favor and call these guys. The only reason that this hasn't caught on is because there is too much money in the pharmaceutical industries (they don't want to "cure" addicts, then no one needs their medicine). If you are mentally ready, this may be the right choice for you. I went through hardcore cold turkey detox from several grams of fentanyl a day before I got onto suboxone and nearly died. It was almost completely painless when I ended at 2mg of suboxone.No one paid me to write this. I just know how much it helped me, and how many people are out there suffering. Why wouldn't I help others with the information? Good luck. Family support, counseling, complete honesty, lots of TV, adhering to some semblance of a schedule (walk the dog?), a strong, ready mindset, and religion all helped me. It took many relapses, lies, and regrets to get to where I am now. You can do it though.Edit: Please disregard the one star reviews. They break my heart. Addiction recovery is a 2-way street with each and every person you encounter along the way. Half of the time you are either sick or feeling completely cynically hopeless, perpetually seeing the glass half-empty. You lie awake by the toilet for days without sleep. You almost welcome death because the withdrawal is so long and miserable. I was lucky I had full support, but these people may not have someone to keep them going or did not do the process properly. You simply cannot do it alone once you are so far gone... Also, if you are trying to recover and you ever go into precipitated withdrawal - go to the hospital. There's no reason to risk going back to the street during your moment(s) of weakness. Many of these lower reviews sound like people who still aren't ready to quit, or are still living two lives. There is nothing to be ashamed about. It's all how you move forward with your next most important decisions.If anyone ever has any questions from someone who went through their process - I will happily answer anything about my experience/where I am at today, just to show what INSynergy is capable of. Have them reach out and we can go from there. Now that I am off of opiates, it is part of my life mission to help other addicts recover once and for all.

All I can say is wow. From misinformed nurses to administering extended release medications with no antidote in the case a pt experiences adverse reactions. if you become one of the lucky ones that does get an adverse reaction to vivitrol, good luck, you will be in hell for at least 21 days. Oh and the best part is they refuse to treat your adverse side effects and refer you to your primary care provider instead. In the real world we call that technique pass the trash lol

I ve been struggling with opiate dependency for decades and started seeking treatment in 1997. I had basically given up hope that I could ever be free from dependency until I met Dr Taca. His approach & most of all his compassion is exactly what I needed. I came to trust and respect his entire team > Jaime, Rick, Jordan & Hannah all helped me in different & needed ways. Ashley was with me from the first day to the last & I would follow her off a cliff. This is a special group of people and I feel so lucky to have found them. I will never forget the miracle they performed on me and I urge anyone struggling to reach out to them. If you want to get clean, they can help you get there !

They tried to put me on meds that a REAL surgeon who was a doctor told me would have almost killed me. So apperantly they have no clue what they are doing. Also I could sue them for breaking doctor patient relationship when they called my family members without me knowing, people who were not marked to be allowed to see my records.Update: they are trying to make the situation right, which is nice, unfortunately this was about 5 years ago so I really dont have any interest in the situation anymore, I was just posting my experience at the place. I'm sure MANY people HAVE been helped by them. Just not me. Thank you for trying to make things right though, it is appreciated.

I am extremely grateful for the treatment I have received from Dr. Taca, along with the support of Insynergy s caring and compassionate staff. They are the sole reason I have managed to become sober after 5 years spent abusing multiple addictive substances. I had been in and out of various kinds of treatment, inpatient and outpatient, for almost three years before I arrived at Insynergy. Their method of providing the addict the personal attention of a medical doctor was a total game changer for me. No other outpatient I have been to has a similar approach to their detriment.Simply put, If I had not enrolled in Insynergy s program, I would still be caught in the awful cycle of abuse and withdrawal that had defined each year of my life post high school.I wholeheartedly recommend anyone still caught in that cycle to give Insynergy a chance.

Incompetent at billing. Push extraordinarily expensive versions of the same drugs you can get generic for 10 bucks a month. Have two therapists on staff one of whom disappeared for weeks. Group therapy, 4 times out of 5 was me and one therapist. Lose payments. Want frequent urine tests that they send out for no reason since they get results immediately that bill insurance $3600 a pop (no joke). Change their number with no notice. The list goes on and on.

This facility did its job in helping me with my addiction. However, they have a lot of things they need to fix. As a rehabilitation center they need to admit and acknowledge their mistakes to set a good example for their patients. Excusing and overlooking things doesn't put out the right message to addiction patients. We as addicts mess up we wouldn't be there nor would they be making money if we didn't. Despite the mistakes you should feel welcomed at your rehabilitation center and feel like you can open up to them and talk to them about what's going on. Instead you feel their judgement without words but in their eyes you can see it and feel it. Positive reinforcement is what I believe a rehabilitation center should be pushing, to help patients feel like they can trust and go without judgement/punishment/dissapointment in there clinic. "It's okay everyone makes mistakes but let's try and do something different so this doesn't happen again." Nonetheless, you can also hear the staff talking when they think they are out of range, and the things that are said are very unprofessional. Without us addicted feeding your pockets for your support and help there would be no insynergy rehabilitation center, so don't forget why you guys are really there. It doesn't matter if you guys aren't in a good mood, if that's the case leave it at the door or take an off day cause we don't need that nor do we pay for that.People may not be using their real names for a reason, Dr. Taca/Ashley it's because they don't want the entire world to know they are an addict. It doesn't mean they weren't a real patient.

Sweet Bella, Thank you for your detailed review. Your comments have been reviewed by our staff and will address every one individually. As you stated, we have to address and admit mistakes we have made. We try our very best to have our clients leave very satisfied not only in their recovery but how they are treated while in the program. We are sorry that you had a negative experience with some of our staff but happy to hear that you are doing well with your addiction.
