Levels of Care

For many patients with drug and alcohol addictions, a continuum-of-care approach is best. In a continuum of care, you progress to less intense levels of care as you’re ready to take on more responsibility in your recovery. The levels of care available at The Recovery Village Kansas City include the following.

Medical Detox

During medical detox, patients receive around-the-clock support, medical care and medications for withdrawal symptoms as needed.

Inpatient Rehab

Inpatient rehab is a high level of care, so patients live onsite. The environment is structured and entirely focused on healing.

Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHPs)

As a step down from residential treatment, a PHP offers patients more independence and free time as they begin self-managing their recovery.

Outpatient Rehab and IOP

With more freedom and flexibility from residential or PHP care, an IOP offers a balance between intensive addiction treatment and managing the outside responsibilities in your daily life.

Dual Diagnosis Treatment

It’s very common to have co-occurring mental health disorders along with an addiction to drugs or alcohol. Dual diagnosis care treats both simultaneously to optimize your outcomes in recovery.

Outpatient Rehab

Aftercare

After completing a rehab program, you receive continued support through treatment provider referrals, information about support groups, relapse prevention plans and access to resources like the Nobu app.

Medically-Assisted Treatment (MAT)

For severe opioid or alcohol use disorders, approved medications may be beneficial when medically appropriate. Medication-assisted treatment reduces the risk of relapse and cravings.

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are some of the most common questions about treatment at The Recovery Village Kansas City.

Does insurance cover addiction treatment?

Most health insurance policies will partially or completely cover addiction treatment services. The Recovery Village Kansas City accepts most major insurance plans except Medicare and Medicaid. Our team can work with you to verify what your insurance may cover. If services aren’t covered, we can help you locate other facilities that may accept your policy, or we can work together on private pay options.

How long does addiction treatment take?

Since our treatment programs are customized to your individual needs, the treatment length can differ. Factors in how long addiction treatment takes include the program you choose and the severity of your addiction. Most people’s medical detox stays take 3–10 days. Inpatient programs usually last at least 30 days and outpatient programs can last for three months or longer. Aftercare services are an indefinite source of support for your continued recovery.

Can I keep my job if I go to rehab?

Certain national laws protect you if you go to rehab, so you don’t have to fear losing your job. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) are two such laws. While these protections exist, there are limitations that could mean you don’t qualify. If, for example, you use substances actively while at work in a drug-free workplace, you could lose your job.

Will I be able to speak with my family while in treatment?

For the safety and privacy of all patients, cell phones will be securely stored upon arrival. After a 72-hour stabilization period to focus on your recovery, you may make outside phone calls during specified times each week, at your therapist’s discretion. Loved ones may also visit during family weekends, or they may participate in family therapy with you. Our treatment team may discourage contact with friends or family if they believe it could disrupt your recovery and progress.
