I wish this "therapy" place shut down. I was there from August 2019 until June 2020, almost a year. They were planning on discharging me in March 2020 but my therapist Desi and my case manager Liz said I wasn't safe enough. There was one day I was upset because I got in a fight with Kayleigh and Isabella two other unit kids. Kayleigh and Isabela were not restrained, I was. I was restrained by five staff. Also there was another incident I was jumped by six girls because they said I stole Holly's hairbrush and Holly didn't even steal her hairbrush she threw it away and then there was a staff named Ms Shay who put me in a seclusion because I was literally pacing. Worst of all the unit kids went to sonic and I had to stay back because apparently I tried to fight Sophia and turns out Sophia went and I stayed back with Ms Alex and Mr Mitch and they humiliated me a whole lot. Don't let your kids come here.

Other Forms of Payment

Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.

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.

Sliding scale payments are based on a client's income and family size. The goal is to make treatment affordable to everyone. By taking these factors into account, addiction recovery care providers help ensure that your treatment does not become a financial burden to you or your family, eliminating one barrier to care.

Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.

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.
inpatient iconInpatient
Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Experiential therapy is a form of therapy in which clients are encouraged to surface and work through subconscious issues by engaging in real-time experiences. Experiential therapy departs from traditional talk therapy by involving the body, and having clients engage in activities, movements, and physical and emotional expression. This can involve role-play or using props (which can include other people). Experiential therapy can help people process trauma, memories, and emotion quickly, deeply, and in a lasting fashion, leading to substantial and impactful healing.

If I could give them less than 1 star I would do it, this organization is a terrible place for families to seek help, I would never return to this place because they don't care about their clients.

I was a client there about a year ago. Checked in from December 2020-April 2020. If I could give 0 stars, I would. The staff will taunt the children into altercations. Leading to restraints. Hurting the children and forcing them into seclusion. Forcing you to wake up and get out of your room and if not, in a restraint. Forcing you to go into your room and if not, in a restraint. The food was less than decent and the building did not meet the actual criteria. It was like living in hell.

The only good my daughter got form this facility was the three staff memebers who genuinely cared for her. Besides that i was not impressed. Especially with her therapist Lacey Hoobler. She has no idea what it is to be therapist. Lacey lies to both her clients and family. Works against the child being returned to their family and doesn't listen to the parents concerns. If your child is in her care request a new therapist because she will cause more harm then good.

If I could give zero stars I would! Please do not send your child here! We are now basically restarting all over again to fix what they messed up for 6 months!

I sent my child to Pathways hoping for much more than what was received. My child had never been abused by anyone, especially an adult or been beat up until my child went to this less than capable place. Staff belittled my child, called my child names which caused self harm and even more depression. A staff member threw my child in the bathroom (where there are obviously no cameras) and challenged my child to a fight. During this altercation my child was slammed against the wall numerous times which sprang my child s wrist. I was never even informed of this altercation until I removed my child from this place to another, more positive place. My child s wounds were not treated properly, nor did a Dr. look at my child s wrist or head. (When my child was in a fight with TWO other children, my child was punched in the head numerous times). I rarely was ever able to talk to my child when I called, and my child was not given the messages that I had called. The one time I actually was able to talk to my child we were on speaker and I was only given 5 minutes. This was after the fight with the other two kids. Staff was less than honest about several instances during my child s time there. Advocate for these children!! Call the PRTF number!! Complain. This should not be happening to these children.

Nursing staff and doctors have no psychiatric experience which is so scary. I would never risk your license as a medical professional. Lead nurse is clueless to any psych care.

I stayed here for six months when I was supposed to stay for two. The building quality is less than decent and the staff like to irritate their clients in order to cause altercations. These altercations result in restraints which have before dislocated and sprained multiple clients' joints and bones, and afterwords the staff "tease" the clients that were in the restraints, with comments such as "That was too easy" or "You're very weak". The few reasons that I have given this more than one star are a select few staff that actually at least care about your safety, like Justin U., or both of the James. The two other reasons are the therapy sessions provided by certified psychologists, and the janitorial and maintenance staff that help keep the place in barely presentable condition.
