About Midwest ADP – Independence
Missourians who are experiencing substance abuse challenges can find many useful services at Midwest ADP (Alcohol and Drug Prevention). This facility in Independence, Missouri, follows an approach that includes education, early assistance and facilitating access to services. This approach meets the standards set forth by Missouri’s Department of Mental Health. These services are designed to support recovery, personal growth and behavior change.
Midwest ADP adapts to the Substance Awareness Traffic Offender Program (SATOP) monitoring protocol in a timely manner. A person’s drug and alcohol use is assessed, leading to the appropriate set of measures necessary to get help. Participants can be involved in offender education, weekend interventions or clinical intervention programs. They provide special courses for first offenders and are prepared to offer additional support to assist those who need more care.
For those who need more significant assistance, the Clinical Intervention Program (CIP) offers focused treatment group sessions designed to address deeper patterns of substance use. These sessions are guided by a licensed counselor.
The Weekend Intervention Program (WIP) is another outstanding offering. It provides a two-day intensive educational counseling experience to change attitudes toward drug use. Participants are involved in group discussions and exercises that promote introspection and the practical aspects of achieving sobriety. During these sessions, participants find out about the dangers of drug and alcohol consumption, including the bigger societal consequences. Knowledge development, combined with emotional and behavioral support, helps participants see the world in a different light by the time they leave.
