Shawnee, Kansas

With Arista, you will start your Shawnee, Kansas, drug rehab with detox. We provide regular medical detox and medication-assisted treatment in Kansas. 

Standard detox can be achieved by coming to our top-of-the-line drug and alcohol rehab center in Shawnee, Kansas, for treatment. All levels of care and addiction often start here so that you can get through withdrawal symptoms and start treatment sober.

During that time, you’ll be supervised by our staff and given treatments like over-the-counter medications to help reduce the severity of your withdrawal symptoms. This can include things like an IV to avoid dehydration, anti-nausea medication, anticonvulsant medication for muscle spasms, and medication to manage fever, headache, or other aches and pains. 

For more severe addictions like opioids, benzodiazepines, and alcohol, you’ll come to our addiction treatment center in Shawnee for medication-assisted treatment. This involves using FDA-approved medications to help wean you off your substances safely. Using the step-down approach under 24-hour supervision can mitigate the frequency and severity of withdrawal symptoms.

These substances come with a high risk of health complications during your detox, which is why medical supervision at a rehab facility is imperative. The use of these FDA-approved medications also comes with the requirement for ongoing therapy.

Our Shawnee, Kansas, drug rehab has a handful of traditional and holistic therapy techniques. Using what is called a synergistic recovery program, we integrate movement into multiple areas of your recovery plan to boost brain function, mental health, and self-regulation.

You might participate in cognitive behavioral therapy for dialectical behavioral therapy as part of your regular program or as a stipulation of medication-assisted treatment during detox. In addition to your individual and group therapy sessions, you might have a program that includes things like horticultural therapy, sand tray therapy, equine therapy, or yoga classes.

At our addiction treatment center in Shawnee, you can treat co-occurring mental health disorders alongside your substance abuse. Sometimes referred to as dual diagnosis, this treatment method increases the likelihood of long-term success by exploring and resolving underlying mental health issues that may have contributed to or exacerbated your substance abuse.

We also emphasize family participation in our programs. Our dedicated family programs involve things like weekend visits for clients who reside at our facility and family therapy for all of our participants.

All of your group therapy, including family therapy, helps increase your sense of community during recovery and fosters healthier long-term relationships.
