First Call Alcohol and Drug Prevention and Recovery

If you or a loved one are facing struggles with substance use then there are resources and services you can turn to throughout Kansas City, Missouri. This resourceful community is home to the First Call Alcohol and Drug Prevention and Recovery agency.

This is an agency that connects families and individuals who have been impacted by substance use to supportive resources that will help them on their journey to sobriety, health and wellness. They have a crisis line that you can call during all hours of the day along with their outpatient clinic where you can come in to receive care.

They take a community focused and solution oriented approach to recovery and you’ll find a continuum of services offered here. If you need more robust care like detox or residential treatment then there is a Resource Guide that can help you learn more about and get connected to different treatment centers throughout the region.

In addition to prevention and outreach services, you’ll be supported through harm reduction services as well as recovery and reentry services. These supports help individuals from all walks of life develop skills for success. Their recovery and reentry program especially focuses on individuals who have been incarcerated and are reintegrating back into society.

One of the biggest aspects of this organization that I appreciate is the dedicated and compassionate care they offer to families and loved ones of those who are in recovery.

Families are often left unsure of how to help their loved ones or be a pillar of support. This agency has a variety of family services including educational workshops and other supports that will teach families how to be the safety net their loved one needs.
