In ReDiscover's Own Words

The purpose of the Coed Treatment Services and Women and Children’s program is to reduce alcohol and/or drug use and reduce crime and violence among residents of Jackson County -- with particular focus on Lee's Summit, Blue Springs, southern Kansas City, Raytown and Grandview. This area includes just under one-third of the county's total population.

ReDiscover serves all individuals in need of behavioral health services, including substance use and mental health services. However, this program focuses on individuals living in Jackson County who are involved with the family and criminal justice systems and need concurrent substance use treatment, mental health treatment and supportive services.

These individuals also experience barriers to treatment, such as lack of adequate health insurance coverage, unemployment, and loss of support systems. Clients require comprehensive, continuous, and recovery-focused care.

Full Range Of Care

Individuals accessing treatment will be evaluated for the full range of care to support their recovery. Services and activities include:

• Level II – Residential Inpatient
• Level II – Partial Hospitalization Treatment
• Level IV – Intensive Outpatient Treatment
• individual therapy
• group counseling
• group education
• family therapy
• psychiatric services
• Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT)
• community support
• residential room and board
• violence prevention education and services
• psychiatric services

Several additional services, funded through public and private support, are provided to COMBAT-funded clients, including:
 

• medical detoxification services
• relapse counseling
• recreational therapy
• drug testing
• aftercare
• medical evaluation
• medication and laboratory services
• crisis response
• transportation
• wellness
• transitional housing
• peer support
• trauma support

More Than 400 Individuals Expected To Be Served

Both programs are directly in line with COMBAT's mission to assure effective treatment and rehabilitation. They also align with ReDiscover’s mission to deliver mental and substance use disorder services to help individuals and families achieve healthier and more productive lives.

Based on 2020 projections, we believe these programs will serve 428 COMBAT-funded individuals in 2021.

We have waiting lists of about 20 individuals on any given day.

COMBAT Support

Funds from COMBAT will help support screening, assessment, treatment planning and aftercare, as well as violence prevention, education, and other services. For individuals involved in treatment, these activities and services will result in the following outcomes: 1) reduced rates of drug use, 2) reduced rates of criminal activity (arrests), and 3) improvements in employment, social connectedness, and stable housing.

Helping The Mother & Child

ReDiscover's Women and Children’s Program has addressed the need to keep children and mothers together by focusing on the mother’s treatment, the mother-child relationship, and the child’s treatment. Children's programming is provided for both outpatient and residential patients. Program components ensure the safety of the child and include realistic expectations about family preservation, parental rights, length of time for recovery, mental health, and treatment factors that lead to increased parent-child bonding and improved child development outcomes.
