What detox is
Detox (withdrawal management) is care while your body clears alcohol or drugs, with staff watching for and treating withdrawal. It's a first step, not treatment on its own: most people go on to residential, PHP, IOP or outpatient care afterward. It's for someone who gets sick when they stop drinking or using: shakes, sweats, nausea, anxiety, no sleep, or not being able to stop at all. Stopping alcohol or benzodiazepines (like Xanax or Valium) suddenly can cause seizures, so don't quit those on your own without medical advice.
Staff check your vital signs and symptoms through the day and give medicine to make withdrawal safer and easier. Detox can be in a hospital, at a residential program, or outpatient with daily visits when withdrawal is mild.
Not sure which level fits? Find your fit asks four questions, and IOP vs PHP vs outpatient care compares them. A program will also assess you and recommend a level of care.
Questions about detox in Kansas City
Which detox programs in Kansas City take Medicaid (MO HealthNet)?
5 list Medicaid on their records: Centerstone, ReDiscover, Heartland Center for Behavioral Change, Recovery Village Kansas City Drug and StepOne Service. Call the program, then the member services number on your Medicaid card: if your card names a health plan, the program has to be in that plan's network.
What insurance do they take?
3 accept private insurance, 4 Medicare and 3 TRICARE. The plans named most on their own websites: Aetna (1), Ambetter (1), Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Missouri (1) and Cigna (1). A program that doesn't name your plan may still take it: call the number on your insurance card and ask whether the program is in network for detox, whether you need prior authorization, and what you'll pay.
How much does detox cost in Kansas City?
Cima Find Care doesn't list prices: what you pay depends on your insurance, the program and how long you need care. Of these 5 programs, 5 take cash or self-pay, 2 have a sliding-scale fee set by income and 3 list state or federal funding for substance use treatment, which can pay for people without insurance. Before you start, ask the program to check your benefits and to put the daily or weekly price in writing.
How long does detox last?
Usually several days to about a week, depending on the substance, how much and how long you've used, and your health. Before you go, ask where you'll go next (residential, PHP, IOP or outpatient care) and whether the program can set that up before you leave.
What should I bring?
A photo ID and your insurance or Medicaid card; your medicines in their original bottles, with a list of doses; your doctors' names and numbers; comfortable clothes for about a week and toiletries without alcohol in them; and the number of someone who can help at home. Each program has its own list, and some limit phones, vapes and outside food, so ask admissions before you go.
What if I need help right now?
In an emergency, call 911. In a mental health or substance use crisis, call or text 988, any time. SAMHSA's National Helpline, 1-800-662-4357, is free, confidential and open all day, every day, and can refer you to treatment.
