Inpatient Rehab in the Midwest
If you have tried a quick, more affordable outpatient program in the past with poor results, or you have a loved one struggling with a severe addiction in need of full-time supervision, it might be time to consider a Midwest inpatient drug and alcohol rehab. Sometimes called residential programs, inpatient drug rehab in Kansas City helps extract you from your daily environment and any ongoing stress or triggers in your home, placing you in a safe, supportive, and secluded rehab center.
Call Arista at 877-279-0095 to discuss our residential drug rehab in the Midwest.
What Exactly is an Inpatient Rehab?
Inpatient rehab is a program that involves full-time therapy. During the course of your full-time treatment, you will live at the rehab clinic. You are typically not permitted to leave for the course of your rehab treatment. Certain facilities allow visitation in the form of family members on weekends or on designated family therapy days.
Meals are prepared for you and served at designated times during the day. When you wake up, you’ll have a full daily schedule involving different classes.
Every day might look a little different, but you’ll typically have some form of physical activity or exercise in the morning as well as group and individual therapy sessions, individual time for journaling or reflection, meal breaks, breaks in the afternoon for recreational purposes, additional therapy in the evenings, and a designated time for lights out. Below is an example schedule of a day at Arista’s inpatient program.
What the Difference Between Inpatient & Outpatient Rehab?
There are many differences between outpatient and inpatient drug rehabs.
- You live at the facility with inpatient rehab, but with outpatient rehab, you get to live at home and visit the facility for your treatments.
- Inpatient facilities provide all of your necessary services, including housekeeping and meal prep. You don’t have to do anything other than focus on yourself. With outpatient programs, you are responsible for yourself in every way, including transportation to and from your regular therapy sessions.
- Inpatient services are more expensive because they provide so much more for you.
- Our inpatient drug and alcohol rehab starts with medical detox. Not all outpatient programs require you to start with detox at that facility and might instead help arrange for a quick detox at your local hospital.
- Inpatient treatment usually lasts 30 days, 60 days, or 90 days during which time you have a full-time treatment schedule. By comparison, traditional outpatient programs only have you meet for a few hours every week.
It’s essential to recognize that many circumstances necessitate inpatient treatment rather than outpatient. Too often, people pick outpatient treatment just because it seems shorter, less demanding, or more affordable.If you start with the wrong level of treatment, however, you will struggle with maintaining your sobriety much more. We also offer outpatient rehab in Johnson County.
Call Arista to review our residential drug rehab in the Midwest and verify your insurance benefits.
What to Look for in an Inpatient Rehab
What you look for in an inpatient drug and alcohol rehab will vary based on what is most important to you. For some people, price and insurance might be the most important factor, followed by amenities and modalities. For others, family integration and amenities are the most important.
Modalities
Modalities should be one of the top concerns when evaluating different rehab centers. Modalities refer to the types of therapies offered.
Traditional rehab centers might offer few options in the way of modalities, focusing primarily on individual psychotherapy and group meetings like 12-step programs. More advanced rehab centers will specialize in cognitive behavioral therapy for mental health issues, holistic practices like music therapy or horticultural therapy, and mindfulness exercises like yoga or meditation.
Amenities
Everyone wants to be comfortable. Some facilities have a lot of amenities like outdoor activities, recreation rooms, swimming pools, or golf courses. Others have things like on-site dieticians and nutritionists who can prepare healthy and delicious meals for you throughout your program. Inpatient drug rehab in Kansas City can look different depending on your facility.
Social Support
Social support should be an important factor in your decision. This social support can come from family integration, where your family participates in your rehab practices. For many people, this is an important step for long-term recovery because involving family helps to repair damaged relationships associated with substance abuse, improve communication, and give family members the tools they need to best support those in recovery.
Social support can also take the form of group activities, both on-campus and off-campus, and a supportive team of staff members that get to know each person they are helping on an individual basis.
Contact Arista to learn more about amenities and modalities at our Midwest recovery center.
What is the Importance of Finding an Inpatient Drug & Alcohol Rehab to Fit My Needs?
As mentioned, inpatient drug and alcohol rehab can look very different from one facility to the next. You should try to find one that best fits your needs.
- For starters, some substances can be hazardous when you try to detox. Complications from withdrawal symptoms can pose significant health risks, but with an appropriate inpatient facility, you can get things like medication-assisted treatment and medical supervision during detox.
- There’s also the mental health consideration. Some people struggle with mental health disorders in addition to substance abuse disorders and need treatment for problems like depression or anxiety at the same time that they get treatment for substance abuse. If you don’t pick a facility that offers co-occurring disorder services or dual diagnosis treatment, you may end up focusing exclusively on your substance abuse and find yourself still struggling with the symptoms of mental health disorders after you get clean.
To learn more about how our Paola drug rehab can help you with your personal needs, call us at 877-279-0095 for a confidential evaluation free of charge.

Treatment Programs at Arista
Our Overland Park outpatient center equips you to apply coping strategies in real-world situations while managing responsibilities like work or school.
Clients receive ongoing therapy, peer support, and medication-assisted treatment (if appropriate), along with frequent check-ins to adapt strategies as new challenges arise. It’s a flexible yet structured way to maintain progress in recovery.
At our Paola facility, clients receive 24/7 medical supervision during detox to ensure cravings are managed safely and comfortably.
In residential care, clients participate in daily therapy, equine and horticulture therapy, and skill-building exercises designed to help identify triggers and build strong coping tools – all within a structured, supportive environment.
Proper nutrition prevents blood sugar crashes that trigger intense cravings, while regular exercise releases natural endorphins that improve mood and reduce stress without substances.
Also, when you're tired from poor sleep, your brain craves quick fixes for energy and mood, making cravings much more intense and harder to resist.
Our on-site chef at Arista Recovery's Paola facility creates meals specifically designed to support recovery and reduce cravings, while our Synergistic Recovery Program combines physical movement with therapeutic processing to build both physical and emotional strength.
Triggers are the specific people, places, situations, or emotions that remind your brain of past substance use – like stress from work, certain social events, or feeling bored with too much free time. Cravings are the intense urges that follow these triggers.
At Arista Recovery's Paola and Overland Park locations, we help you identify your personal trigger patterns through therapy and journaling so you can develop specific strategies for each situation before cravings hit.
Cravings are intense urges to return to substance use, often feeling overwhelming because the brain's reward system has been rewired by addiction and still vividly remembers those chemical rewards.
As you recover from substance use disorder, your brain naturally seeks to recreate those intense feelings, manifesting as temporary but manageable urges.
Understanding that cravings are a completely normal part of the recovery process, and not a sign of weakness, provides tremendous power in managing them. They represent valuable opportunities to practice your recovery skills, rather than evidence of failure.
Kansas has expanded treatment funding and distributed naloxone (Narcan) to help reverse opioid overdoses. Despite these efforts, many areas still face care access issues, which makes centers like Arista Recovery in the Kansas City region vital for providing quality, trauma-informed treatment.
Arista Recovery offers full-spectrum prescription drug treatment services at its Paola and Overland Park locations, just outside Kansas City. These facilities provide detox, residential care, outpatient programs, and evidence-based therapy like CBT and DBT.
Warning signs can include behavioral changes like doctor shopping and secrecy about medication use, physical symptoms such as drowsiness or mood swings, and psychological signs including increased anxiety or cravings.
Early detection is crucial for preventing prescription drug abuse from progressing to full addiction.
The three main categories are opioids (like oxycodone and hydrocodone), benzodiazepines (such as Xanax and Valium), and stimulants (including Adderall and Ritalin).
Opioids represent the most dangerous category with millions of Americans struggling with these medications annually.
Prescription drug abuse occurs when someone uses medication in ways not intended by their prescribing physician, such as taking higher doses, using without a prescription, or combining with other substances.
This misuse can quickly lead to dependence and serious health consequences, even when it begins with legitimate medical treatment.
The best way to determine if DBT fits your recovery needs is through a confidential assessment with our clinical team. Contact Arista Recovery today at 877-279-0095 to discuss your situation and explore how DBT can become part of your personalized treatment plan.
DBT treatment duration varies based on individual needs, but most programs involve weekly individual therapy sessions and skills training groups for several months. The skills learned become lifelong tools for maintaining sobriety and emotional well-being.
Arista Recovery provides DBT services to clients across Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, and Nebraska through our inpatient facility in Paola, Kansas and outpatient center in Overland Park, Kansas. We accept most major insurance plans to make treatment accessible.
DBT works especially well for individuals with co-occurring mental health disorders like PTSD, depression, anxiety, or borderline personality disorder alongside their substance use disorder. It's also highly effective for people who have experienced multiple relapses due to emotional or relationship stressors.
DBT focuses on teaching concrete skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, mindfulness, and interpersonal effectiveness rather than just talking through problems. This structured approach gives clients practical tools to manage triggers and cravings without turning to substances.
Yes. Arista Recovery’s Overland Park, Kansas location offers flexible outpatient options, including an intensive outpatient program (IOP) and a partial hospitalization program (PHP).
These programs allow you to attend treatment sessions while living at home, and they are ideal for individuals transitioning from inpatient care or balancing recovery with work or family commitments.
Arista Recovery offers comprehensive inpatient heroin addiction treatment at our state-of-the-art facility in Paola, Kansas, just south of Kansas City.
This location provides 24/7 medical detox, residential care, and a supportive environment designed to help you fully focus on recovery with access to therapy, holistic services, and medical care.
Medical detox at Arista Recovery's Paola facility provides 24/7 medical supervision during the most dangerous phase of heroin addiction recovery, typically lasting 5-7 days.
Our medical team uses MAT when appropriate, with FDA-approved medications like buprenorphine and methadone to safely ease withdrawal symptoms and reduce cravings.
You'll never be alone during withdrawal, and our comfort-focused care means we do everything possible to keep you safe and as comfortable as possible during this difficult but crucial first step.
Our comprehensive approach goes beyond just getting clean – we focus on healing the whole person through evidence-based care delivered with heart, treating both addiction and the underlying mental health conditions that affect about 80% of people with heroin addiction.
At our Paola, Kansas facility, we provide 24/7 medical detox, while our Overland Park location offers flexible outpatient programs that allow you to maintain work and family responsibilities.
We also combine proven medical treatments like medication-assisted treatment (MAT) with innovative holistic therapies including equine therapy, art therapy, and horticulture therapy for complete healing.
Heroin hijacks your brain's reward system by flooding it with dopamine and stopping natural feel-good chemical production, meaning you need heroin just to feel normal, not to get high.
The relapse rate within the first year can be as high as 96% without proper treatment, which is why medical supervision is absolutely essential, as trying to quit heroin alone is not only nearly impossible but potentially fatal.
Arista’s Overland Park outpatient program includes ongoing nutritional therapy support such as meal planning, grocery shopping guidance, and nutrition check-ins with licensed dietitians.
These services are designed to fit your work and home life while helping you maintain healthy habits and avoid relapse triggers.
At Arista Recovery’s Paola, Kansas facility, clients in detox and residential treatment receive therapeutic meals, nutrition education, and supplementation tailored to their individual needs.
The program emphasizes gentle nourishment during detox, structured meal routines in residential care, and integrated therapy support for emotional and physical healing.
Nutritional therapy recovery is particularly powerful for dual diagnosis treatment because proper nutrition directly supports brain chemistry balance needed for both addiction recovery and mental health stability.
Our team coordinates closely with your psychiatrist to address any nutritional side effects from psychiatric medications and ensure your meal plan enhances your medication's effectiveness rather than interfering with it.
Our nutritional therapy recovery program integrates seamlessly with all aspects of your treatment rather than being an afterthought, with our professionals attending team meetings and collaborating directly with your therapists and medical team.
At our Paola facility, our on-site chef prepares recovery-focused meals designed specifically by dietitians for people in recovery, while innovative programs like horticulture therapy connect nutrition education with growing your own food.
This comprehensive approach means your nutrition plan adjusts based on your progress in therapy, medication changes, and evolving recovery needs throughout your entire treatment journey.
Different substances affect your body's ability to absorb and use essential nutrients in distinct ways that require targeted nutritional intervention.
For example, alcohol depletes critical B vitamins that your brain needs for proper function, while opioids slow digestion and suppress appetite, leading to severe malnutrition and weakened immune function.
Additionally, stimulants like cocaine and methamphetamine cause dramatic weight loss and nutrient depletion, creating deficiencies that directly contribute to mood swings, cravings, and difficulty managing stress.
Arista Recovery’s Overland Park location offers an intensive outpatient program (IOP) to allow individuals to receive care while continuing to manage work, school, or family responsibilities.
Sessions include group therapy, individual counseling, and holistic practices.
Arista Recovery offers comprehensive treatment at two locations near Kansas City – medical detox and inpatient care at our Paola rehab, and outpatient programs at our Overland Park center. Services include therapy, medication management, family support, and holistic care.
Physical signs include constant drowsiness, slurred speech, poor coordination, and blurred vision, while behavioral changes involve visiting multiple doctors for prescriptions, being secretive about medication use, and running out of prescriptions early.
These signs often indicate it's time to seek professional help, as benzo addiction rarely improves without specialized treatment.
Unlike many other drugs, stopping benzos suddenly can be life-threatening and cause seizures, severe anxiety, and even psychosis. The withdrawal process requires gradual tapering under medical supervision over weeks or months to minimize dangerous symptoms.
At Arista Recovery's Paola facility, our medical team provides 24/7 supervision during benzo detox because attempting to quit "cold turkey" at home is extremely risky and potentially fatal.
Benzo dependence can develop surprisingly fast, often within just a few weeks of regular use. Your brain adapts to needing the medication to feel normal, and tolerance builds quickly, meaning you need higher doses to achieve the same calming effect.
What starts as legitimate medical treatment for anxiety or panic disorders can escalate to misuse patterns before you even realize dependence has formed.
Yes. Arista Recovery integrates holistic services such as art therapy, yoga, mindfulness training, horticulture therapy, and equine therapy into our outpatient programs. These support emotional regulation, self-awareness, and stress management alongside traditional evidence-based treatment.
With convenient locations in Paola and Overland Park, Arista Recovery serves rural and suburban communities throughout Kansas and neighboring states. We offer flexible scheduling and telehealth options when appropriate to ensure access for those traveling longer distances.
Outpatient rehab works best for individuals who are medically stable, have a strong support system at home, and are motivated to engage in recovery. It's also ideal for those stepping down from inpatient care or managing responsibilities like work and family.
Arista Recovery offers multiple levels of outpatient care at our Overland Park facility near Kansas City, including outpatient programs, an intensive outpatient program (IOP), and our partial hospitalization program (PHP).
Each is tailored to meet different needs, from mild support to daily intensive care.
Outpatient rehab provides structured addiction and mental health care while allowing clients to live at home.
Unlike inpatient treatment, which involves 24/7 residential care, outpatient programs offer flexible scheduling – ideal for those who want to continue working, attending school, or supporting family while receiving therapy and support.
Arista Recovery accepts most major commercial insurance plans. Both the Paola inpatient facility and Overland Park outpatient center offer holistic treatment options covered under many insurance policies. Call our admissions team 24/7 for a confidential benefits check and consultation.
Clients can access a wide range of holistic therapies, including equine therapy, horticulture therapy, art and music therapy, mindfulness practices, yoga, nutritional counseling, and recreational activities. Each therapy is tailored to support individual needs and recovery goals.
Yes. Arista Recovery provides holistic addiction treatment at two accessible locations near Kansas City – Paola and Overland Park. Both centers offer integrated programs that combine medical care with holistic therapies in a supportive, healing environment.
Holistic rehab teaches sustainable life skills that support sobriety, including stress management, emotional regulation, healthy eating, and physical wellness. Practices like mindfulness and movement therapy help clients respond to triggers more effectively, reducing the likelihood of relapse over time.
Holistic rehab treats addiction by addressing the mind, body, and spirit – not just substance use. It combines evidence-based therapies like CBT and DBT with holistic practices such as yoga, art therapy, mindfulness, and nutritional counseling.
This approach supports long-term recovery by healing the root causes of addiction, not just the symptoms.
We offer aftercare planning, relapse prevention strategies, family education, and alumni programs to help individuals maintain sobriety and build a healthy, substance-free lifestyle after treatment.
Our Overland Park center provides partial hospitalization (PHP) and intensive outpatient programs (IOP), including individual therapy, group counseling, and dual diagnosis support for alcohol addiction.
Yes, Arista Recovery offers both inpatient and outpatient alcohol addiction treatment in the Kansas City area through our Paola and Overland Park locations.
Alcohol withdrawal can cause dangerous symptoms like seizures, hallucinations, or delirium tremens (DTs). Medical detox provides 24/7 supervision to manage symptoms safely and prevent complications.
Early signs include drinking alone or in secret, developing a tolerance, experiencing withdrawal symptoms, and continuing to drink despite negative consequences at work, home, or in relationships.
Early intervention saves lives, and if you suspect someone you love is using fentanyl, you need to act immediately. Contact Arista Recovery today for 24/7 support and confidential assessment to determine the best level of care.
We work with most major insurance plans and can often start treatment within 24-48 hours.
Kansas has been devastated by fentanyl, with synthetic opioid deaths increasing by 790% between 2012 and 2021. In 2022 alone, Kansas recorded 754 overdose deaths – that's 26 deaths per 100,000 residents, the highest rate the state has ever seen, with fentanyl involved in 56% of these deaths.
Rural Kansas faces unique challenges including limited access to treatment, longer emergency response times, and less awareness about fentanyl dangers.
Arista Recovery offers a full continuum of care for fentanyl addiction at two locations: inpatient detox and residential treatment in Paola, and outpatient programs in Overland Park. These programs include medical supervision, therapy, and medication-assisted treatment (MAT).
Fentanyl addiction can develop in a matter of days, not the weeks or months typically seen with other opioids. This synthetic drug is 50-100 times stronger than morphine, flooding your brain's opioid receptors with such intensity that your brain chemistry changes almost immediately.
Unlike prescription painkillers that gradually create dependence, fentanyl's extreme potency means tolerance builds rapidly, leading people to take more and increasing their overdose risk.
At Arista Recovery's Paola location, we see firsthand how this addiction cycle devastates Kansas families, which is why our medical detox program provides 24/7 supervision during the critical early stages of recovery.
The primary danger of fentanyl lies in its unpredictable potency and the fact that it's being mixed into everything, such as cocaine, heroin, or even fake prescription pills that look exactly like real Percocet or Xanax.
An amount smaller than a few grains of salt can kill someone, and overdose can happen within minutes through respiratory failure.
Yes. Arista Recovery connects clients in Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, and Nebraska to aftercare services, alumni programs, and peer support groups to ensure lasting recovery beyond treatment.
We believe healing happens together. Our family program offers education, therapy, and communication tools so loved ones can better support recovery and heal alongside the individual.
Arista Recovery offers dual diagnosis treatment in the Kansas City area through two convenient locations: inpatient services at our Paola, KS campus and outpatient care at our Overland Park location.
Both sites provide personalized treatment plans that include therapy, medication management, and holistic support.
Treating only one condition often leads to relapse or worsening symptoms. Mental health and addiction issues frequently reinforce each other, so integrated care that addresses both leads to better outcomes and long-term stability.
Dual diagnosis recovery is a treatment approach for individuals facing both a mental health disorder and a substance use disorder at the same time. It’s ideal for people who turn to substances to cope with emotional pain or who continue to struggle with symptoms even during periods of sobriety.
Family education is crucial because it helps loved ones understand addiction as a medical condition rather than a moral failing, while also teaching them how to provide effective support specific to your addiction type and avoid enabling behaviors.
Different addiction types create different family dynamics and challenges – for instance, families dealing with opioid addiction face overdose risks and may need naloxone training, while those supporting someone with gambling addiction need to understand financial boundaries and warning signs.
At Arista Recovery, our family integration program ensures your entire support system understands your specific addiction type and learns practical skills for supporting your recovery journey while maintaining their own emotional health.
Our dual diagnosis program treats addiction and mental health conditions simultaneously rather than separately to ensure all symptoms are properly and comprehensively supported.
Our evidence-based approach combines psychiatric care, specialized trauma therapy, and addiction treatment in one comprehensive program that addresses the whole person, not just the symptoms.
Yes. Arista Recovery offers intensive outpatient (IOP) and partial hospitalization (PHP) programs at our Overland Park location, serving the broader Kansas City community. These programs offer flexible schedules for people balancing treatment with work or family responsibilities.
Arista Recovery provides 24/7 medically supervised detox at our Paola, Kansas facility, located just outside of Kansas City. This ensures safe withdrawal from substances like alcohol, opioids, and benzodiazepines with professional monitoring and support.
Different addiction types require completely different treatment approaches because substances affect your brain and body in unique ways, meaning what works for alcohol addiction may be ineffective or even dangerous for opioid dependence.
At Arista Recovery's Paola and Overland Park locations, our treatment teams specialize in identifying your specific addiction type and creating personalized treatment plans that address the unique challenges and medical needs of your particular substance use disorder.
A physician, nurse, clinical staff, and therapist supervise the process of detoxing, which entails a comprehensive evaluation and the onset of detoxing substances from the body with the possible use of medication. Once the body is rid of toxic substances, the patient can begin addiction treatment.
Medical detox is the process of allowing your body to rid itself of drugs and other toxic substances—with the use of medications to reduce the symptoms of withdrawal and to make detoxing safer—that have been in the body for a length of time.

Arista Recovery is a comprehensive drug and alcohol detox center in Missouri. We specialize in multiple levels of care, which means if you are addicted to alcohol, we can help you with a medication-assisted treatment plan that targets the most severe symptoms over the first week of your detox and then gives you ongoing medication and therapy to help you stay sober.
We can also work with you for addiction to things like cocaine, providing medication during your first few days, problems with rebound insomnia, and medication and therapy to help you cope with the months of cravings that often follow.
Arista Recovery provides an inpatient drug rehab in the Midwest. Once you finish your supervised detox, you can start a residential program at our state-of-the-art, 38-acre facility or a partial hospitalization program if you need something more intense and shorter. We can also help you gradually transition into an intensive outpatient or standard outpatient level of care.
