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.

Treatment

Mental Health

Mental health rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from mental illnesses like bipolar disorder, clinical depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, and more. Mental health professionals at these facilities are trained to understand and treat mental health issues, both in individual and group settings.

Clinical Services

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.

Life Skills

Life skills trainings involve all the skills a person must have in order to function successfully in the world. These include time management, career guidance, money management, and effective communication. Truly successful addiction recovery is based on the ability to not only live substance-free, but to thrive. Life skills teaches the practical necessities of functioning in society, which sets clients up for success in life, and therefore sobriety.

I am in a very bad position with my electric bill during COVID. I have only needed help with bills once before and KISRA was not the organization that helped. I had never received help from KISRA before.The first time I spoke to CEO Freda, she was very nice. We made a plan. She had things she needed me to do to be able to help me. (documents and also get the bill down to a certain amount; she told me that she could help with $500 on my bill). I got everything done that she requested within a week. I emailed documents and also called to let her know. When she returned my call she was very short and rude with me. She could not remember any of our previous conversation or the plan we made. (I understand that she probably talks to a dozen people daily. Nobody could remember every detail. HOWEVER it was like talking to a completely different person.) During our second phone call (a week later) she tells me DIFFERENT things I need to do and didn t even mention some of the ORIGINAL documents she wanted from me. She even made a comment along the lines of, I don t have time to be doing all this. I have other people that need help. Obviously a lot of people need help during this time. Any compassionate person knows that but she didn t have time to go through the things she requested? Or do the plan that she made? Even after she got her rudest, though I did tear up and my voice started shaking, I never got an attitude or lost my cool with her because beggers can t be choosers.In the end, I had to get enough from Heart N Hand ($146) to put with my own payment to go onto a payment plan with AEP. Freda completely stopped answering her phone and never called back or even bothered to email back.This is doable but this does put me in a bad position because AEP will not give any extensions while you are locked into a payment arrangement. My arrangement is spread out for a year. It s a scary thought; not being able to request an extension for a year. Maybe if Freda had not wasted my time with her false word, I could have figured something else out instead of wasting my time getting things together that she requested, which never went anywhere.I understand needing help. I understand beggers can t be choosers. This may be a good organization but I would not recommend anyone trying anything with CEO Freda because it very well may be a waste of time. It was for me.
