ReDiscover Alt-Care: Comprehensive Addiction Treatment for Women
ReDiscover’s Alt-Care program, situated at the Woodland Center in Kansas City, MO, offers a structured and comprehensive substance use disorder treatment specifically tailored for women aged 18 and older who are currently enrolled in Missouri state probation and parole. Recognizing the complexities faced by this population, the program provides a supportive environment focused on recovery, rehabilitation, and long-term stability.
Program Structure and Approach
The Alt-Care program is designed as a commitment of approximately one year, with levels of care that adjust as clients progress in their recovery journey. It begins with intensive, full-day sessions (8:30am to 4:30pm, Monday through Friday), gradually decreasing to attendance one day per week (9:00am to 2:45pm) as clients meet specific milestones. This phased approach helps participants integrate recovery principles into their daily lives while maintaining accountability.
Integrated Services and Support
Alt-Care provides a wide array of integrated services to address the physical, emotional, and social dimensions of addiction and recovery. The focus is on providing holistic support to ensure successful rehabilitation and community reintegration.
Key services offered include:
- Educational and counseling groups
- Individual therapy sessions
- Community support services
- Nursing services and medical oversight
- Peer support networks
- Psychiatric care
- Medication-assisted treatment (MAT), such as Vivitrol and buprenorphine
Focus on Women and Parenthood
ReDiscover is committed to ensuring that parenthood does not impede a woman’s ability to seek necessary treatment. While the Alt-Care program is specifically for women enrolled in probation and parole, ReDiscover also offers the Women & Children Program, a substance use disorder program that allows mothers to keep their children with them during treatment and provides a free, full-service daily daycare. This commitment highlights ReDiscover’s understanding of the unique challenges women face in seeking care.
Probation and Parole officers also meet with clients directly on-site, ensuring seamless communication and coordination between the treatment process and legal requirements.
