Comprehensive Mental Health Services

About Comprehensive Mental Health Services – Independence

Comprehensive Mental Health Services is a behavioral health provider that offers substance abuse treatment in Independence, Missouri. They’ve provided trauma informed care for adults, families and children for over 60 years. The staff members treat patients with evidence-based practices and tailor their services to each individual’s specific needs. Clients can receive treatment through outpatient (OP), and peer support services. CMHS also provides medication assisted treatment (MAT) and the CSTAR Program.

The CSTAR program is an outpatient substance abuse program that’s geared specifically towards adolescents between the ages of 12 and 18. These services are given after school hours during the school year and two to six p.m. in the summer.

Another unique service at this facility is the Healthcare Home service. Clients receiving this service will have regular assessments from a nurse care manager to ensure they’re achieving wellness goals. They’ll also get assistance with managing health conditions, help with accessing a family doctor, and access to a wellness coach who will provide health education. Persons with a severe mental health condition, such as substance abuse disorder, are eligible for this program.

The medications that are used for medication assisted treatment (MAT) include acamprosate, buprenorphine, and naltrexone. Each of these medications is designed to treat either opioid addiction, alcohol addiction, or both.

Clients who choose to participate in the peer support services can receive assistance and support from individuals who’ve been successful in recovering from addiction. Recovery coaches are trained to encourage and model recovery from substance use in a way that’s specific to the needs of the client.

Levels of Care

Inpatient

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.

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.

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.

Programs

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

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.
