About Heartland Center For Behavioral Change – Kansas City
Located on Prospect Avenue near Downtown Kansas City, Missouri, Heartland Center For Behavioral Change provides outpatient substance use treatment services for men and women. They also specialize in providing treatment to individuals who are under the supervision of the Missouri Department of Corrections Office of Probation and Parole. The programs at this facility include outpatient substance use treatment, medication treatment and community support. Individuals who qualify can pay for their services on a sliding fee scale.
One thing I noticed about Heartland Center For Behavioral Change is they have no predetermined length of treatment. They choose this approach because they believe the best treatment outcomes are based on a length of treatment that corresponds to a client’s needs.
A good portion of a client’s outpatient treatment will involve participating in group activities that include dialectic education groups, self help groups and group counseling. The dialectic education group will teach you how to regulate your emotions and have healthy relationships.
Some unique evidence based services used by this facility include moral reconation therapy, Halzelden’s living in balance, and TCU’s Unlock your Thinking & Straight Ahead Transition Skills for Recovery. Moral reconation therapy can help with improving your moral reasoning and decision making to choose more appropriate behaviors for a healthy lifestyle.
Downtown Kansas provides various interesting and fun activities to enjoy in between your treatment sessions. You can check out historical landmarks like Union Station Kansas City or visit interesting museums such as the American Jazz Museum.
