COPS Outpatient Treatment Program

They offer outpatient and telemedicine. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Kansas City has 8 other centers within 14 miles.

No, and nothing else within 14 miles of Kansas City offers one either, so that part will mean a longer drive or a referral.

They do not prescribe. If buprenorphine or methadone is part of what you need, say so on the call and ask who they refer to in Kansas City.

Nobody stays overnight. Outpatient means you keep sleeping at home and come in for sessions, and the closest residential option is about a mile away in Kansas City.

They treat seniors. Interactions with the medications an older adult is already taking are the usual reason it matters, so ask who reviews them in Kansas City.

It normally means continuing outpatient sessions, a prescriber if medication is involved, and free meetings. Where medication is part of the plan, the handover to a community prescriber is the gap to watch. Ask how the medication prescription continues after discharge, and who writes it.

There is no price on this site, because what a program costs depends on the level of care and on your plan. A center that takes your plan will usually quote your share rather than the full price, which makes two quotes hard to compare. Ask for the figure per week as well as per program, because extensions are billed by the week.

It is the same treatment with reporting attached, and most of the programs listed here take referrals. Where child welfare is involved, the reporting is usually wider and the timelines are tighter. Check whether the program is approved for your specific order before enrolling in it.
