Our Rehab Programs in Kansas City

For many people, the first step of their addiction recovery is physically detoxifying their body — cleansing their system of any substances. Depending on the substance and severity of addiction, this can become a dangerous medical situation if not handled properly. 

In these cases, a patient is recommended to check into a drug and alcohol detox program in Kansas City. At Empowered Recovery Center, our medical team carefully monitors our patients’ health throughout their detox, relieving them of as much discomfort as possible throughout the process.

The length of a person’s detox depends on many factors, including if the patient has any health conditions, the type of substance, and if there were multiple substances being used. In general, a detox can last anywhere from three to 14 days.1 During this process, the focus is on getting your body back to a healthy place so you can focus on your recovery and ongoing treatment.

After completing their detox protocol, many patients will begin their addiction treatment by joining our partial hospitalization program (PHP). This program offers a balance of independence, accountability, and skill-building while allowing a patient to remain living in the comfort of their own home. 

Empowered Recovery Center’s PHP is the most intensive level of outpatient care we offer, with patients spending 25 to 30 hours a week in treatment. These sessions are filled with individual and group therapy, relapse prevention training, medical consultations, and dual diagnosis treatment to address any co-occurring mental health disorders.

Our PHP patients meet at our outpatient facility 9 am to 3 pm, Monday through Friday (with a break for lunch). Outside of these treatment hours, our PHP patients are able to meet any work, family, or other obligations they have.

The step down from a PHP is an intensive outpatient program (IOP). IOPs still include considerable time with our medical and clinical staff (9–20 hours a week), but offer more flexibility for someone who has a more moderate substance abuse disorder or has already completed higher levels of care.

At Empowered Recovery Center, our IOP patients typically attend treatment three to five days a week, either choosing to take part in the morning session (9 am to 12 pm) or the evening session (6 pm to 9 pm).

Of all our levels of rehab care, the least intensive is our standard outpatient rehab program. This program is designed for patients who have completed higher levels of care and those who are confident in applying the coping skills they’ve learned to life’s stressors.

Outpatient patients typically are in treatment for nine hours or less a week, meaning they are very close to completely transitioning back to their everyday lives.

When you complete any kind of treatment programs for addiction, your risk of relapse doesn’t suddenly disappear. You’ll still experience temptation and triggers in your daily life. And in those difficult moments, it can be life-saving to have someone to lean on and learn from.

At Empowered Recovery Center, we understand the importance of rehab aftercare for our patients after they complete one of our addiction treatment programs. For this reason, we offer every single graduate a year of recovery coaching from one of our skilled team members.  

We also offer our patients access to our rehab alumni program. At alumni events hosted at our rehab programs in Kansas City, you can talk to someone who has been in the very same spot you were and got through it. It’s a great opportunity to get additional support and build a sober network of friends. 

Support and community are key in maintaining long-term sobriety, and we make sure you’re equipped with both as you venture back into your life.
