About Northland Dependency Services
Northland Dependency Services is a facility in Liberty, Missouri, that offers services and classes for court requirements. Mostly they have court ordered classes for things like DUI and other drug and alcohol related offenses, but they can also provide probation and parole services and other court ordered programs like anger management and domestic violence.
When it comes to drug and alcohol related issues, the most prominent program here is SATOP which is the substance awareness traffic offenders program. Essentially this is a class that the court may order you to take if you’re convicted of DUI. It combines driving instruction with substance abuse group counseling and addiction education.
Along with this they also have other services related to substance use disorder (SUD). They have drug and alcohol testing to fulfill court requirements. They also have addiction education programs including an educational program for people of any age who are at risk for SUD. There’s a victim impact panel, too, where you hear from victims of DUI to help you recognize the importance of not driving impaired.
This facility’s programs are typically at your expense rather than covered by insurance. They do have reduced fees available for certain circumstances, though, so they can help you find out if you qualify. But the most helpful thing about this facility is that they have courses during the day as well as in the evenings and on weekends so you can work around your schedule.
Clients’ experiences here vary a lot. Some report friendly and positive interactions with staff, while others felt the staff could have been more helpful. Overall, people do say that if you’re in the position to need this facility’s services, it’s a fair place to complete your court requirements.

Payed 430$ for a screening to be told there wasn t a proper class available. After realizing I needed to do something else they refused to compensate. 430$ to fill out some paperwork is a joke. Not to mention they want another 200$ on top for the class itself
Took a friend here nice people made fulfilling court obligations as painless as possible!
Signed up for SATOP, never received info, called, front desk rude, found out was never enrolled in the class. Now have to wait another month.

Addiction Treatments
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.
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.
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.
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.
