Medicaid

Medicaid is a state and federal partnership to provide insurance to people in need. Eligibility for Medicaid is based on household income or whether you have disabilities. Kansas’s Medicaid program is KanCare, and anyone making 133% or less of the federal poverty level can apply for coverage.⁵

Medicare

Medicare is a federal insurance plan for people over the age of 65 and people with certain disabilities or health conditions. It offers comprehensive coverage for medical treatment.

Private Insurance

Private insurance is an insurance plan purchased from a non-government health insurance company. You may have insurance through your job or have a plan that you buy on your own. Popular insurance companies include Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, UnitedHealth, and Humana.

Medical detox is the first step in the recovery process. It involves professional withdrawal management to help you safely withdraw from drugs and alcohol and achieve a medically-stable, substance-free state.

Inpatient rehab is a program where you live at the facility full-time during treatment. It can last anywhere from 30-90 days, though some run longer.

Partial hospitalization programs (PHPs) are the most intensive form of outpatient, offering up to 30 hours of care per week.

Intensive outpatient programs (IOPs) are a step down from PHPs, they include nine to 20 hours of therapy each week.

Standard outpatient is the most flexible and least intensive, it includes a few hours of care per week. This is typically best for someone with only a mild addiction and a strong support system.

Aftercare involves various forms of ongoing support to build upon the skills you learned in rehab and benefit from community. Options may include 12-step meetings, non-12-step meetings, sober living homes, ongoing therapy, and counseling.

Faith-Based and Christian: Faith-based programs are helpful for people who have a strong commitment to their beliefs. The integration of spiritual activities into treatment can promote and assist the recovery process and strengthen long-term positive change.

Holistic: Holistic centers combine evidence-based addiction treatment with alternative or complementary ones. The facility might provide opportunities to access things like acupuncture, massage, aromatherapy, hypnotherapy, guided meditation, and diet and nutritional interventions.

Luxury: If you have the means to pay higher costs, you may want to consider a luxury treatment center. These facilities boast more comfort, amenities, and privacy than typical facilities. They are often in desirable locations and have large properties that afford extra activities.

Executive: Executive drug rehab centers in Kansas are structured for people who want to be in an inpatient program but can’t take leave of all their work responsibilities. Executive treatment programs usually have more permissive rules regarding outside communication. They allow you to use phones and computers to stay connected to work during the workday.

Dual Diagnosis: Dual-diagnosis programs specialize in managing co-occurring addiction and mental health disorders, which influence the outcome of each other. It’s important that people with co-occurring disorders receive integrated, comprehensive care.

Marijuana

Kansas has not legalized marijuana for any reason. It is considered a controlled substance. A first offense for possession is a misdemeanor subject to up to one year in jail and a $2,500 fine.

Other Drugs

Drug crimes are sentenced according to the formula mandated by the state sentencing commission.⁹ Your sentence will depend on what type of drugs you have in your possession and the amount you have on your person. A previous criminal record will also factor into sentencing. A first offense where you have a small amount of a drug like marijuana could result in probation. A repeat offender convicted of possession with intent to distribute drugs could be sentenced to as many as 17 years in jail.

Drug Courts

There are 11 drug courts in Kansas, located throughout the state.¹⁰ These courts work with people who struggle with substance abuse to get them help rather than sending them to jail. The courts oversee the placement and completion of treatment. Anyone convicted of a drug crime who has fewer than two prior convictions is eligible for drug court programs. Failure to complete the program can result in your sentence reverting to jail.

Naloxone Access

Kansas allows access to naloxone from pharmacies without a prescription.¹¹ Individual pharmacists licensed under the state program can dispense naloxone to patients, family members and bystanders, law enforcement and EMS agencies, and school nurses. The license is specific to individual pharmacists, not to the pharmacies. Access depends on a licensed pharmacist being present when you request naloxone.
