Drug and Alcohol Use Statistics in Lenexa, KS

Here is a look at some of the drug and alcohol use statistics from Johnson County and the Kansas City metroplex area over the past few years:1,2

Levels of Care for Addiction Treatment Settings

When comparing various drug and alcohol rehabs, you’ll want to make sure you understand the different treatment settings and options.

Professional Detox

When you suddenly quit drugs or alcohol, you’ll experience unpleasant withdrawal symptoms. Professional detox involves monitoring and supervision to mitigate these withdrawal symptoms and intervene if any complications arise.

Inpatient Care

You live at the treatment center for the length of your program, which usually ranges from 30 to 90 days, although sometimes longer if needed. It is a highly structured and intensive environment, free from the drug-using triggers and stressors in your everyday environment.

Partial hospitalization programs (PHPs)

The most intensive option besides inpatient, you attend treatment for between 20 and 30 hours each week then return home during non-treatment hours.

Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOPs)

A step down from PHPs, you attend counseling for between nine and 20 hours per week and return home in the evening.

Standard Outpatient

The least intensive and structured treatment setting, you receive a few hours of therapy per week.

Aftercare

When you near the end of your treatment program, you’ll collaborate with your treatment team on an aftercare plan, which may involve transitional housing, group counseling, individual therapy, family therapy, and/or support group meetings.

Paying for Substance Abuse Treatment in Lenexa

If you are worried about the price of addiction treatment, don’t worry—there are plenty of financing options that can help you pay and get the treatment you need.

Private Health Insurance

Your private health insurance provider, such as Aetna or Cigna, is required to cover substance abuse treatment services, such as inpatient and outpatient rehab. Call the number on the back of your insurance card to learn the extent of your coverage.

KanCare: Kansas Medicaid

KanCare, a federal health program, provides health insurance coverage to low-income Kansas residents and families. KanCare covers the cost of drug and alcohol rehab, although you’ll want to check your plan details to learn more. Not every rehab accepts KanCare, so you’ll want to do your research.

Kansas Medicare

Kansas Medicare, a federal health program, provides coverage for people aged 65 and older and those with certain disabilities. Like KanCare, Medicare covers the cost of addiction treatment services, such as substance misuse assessments, medication-assisted treatment, and inpatient and outpatient rehab.

TRICARE in Kansas

TRICARE in Kansas, which is located in the West Region, provides much-needed health insurance coverage for military personnel and veterans, as well as their families. Many rehabs accept TRICARE, which can help you more readily access treatment.

Sliding Scale Rehabs

Another option for reducing the cost of rehab is to find a sliding scale treatment center that only charges you what you can pay based on your income and other relevant financial information.

IHS-Funded Drug Rehabs

These rehabs receive funding from the Indian Health Service in order to provide no-cost addiction treatment to Native peoples in the U.S., even if they have other forms of health insurance.
