ABOUT MIDWEST RECOVERY CENTERS
Midwest Recovery Centers (MRC), located in Kansas City, Mo., is a group of long-term sober living residences with extended treatment for men dealing with chemical dependency and co-occurring mental health disorders. The rehab program is based on 12-Step and evidence-supported psychotherapy and was established in 2016.
TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT
At Midwest Recovery Centers, residents go through two phases of treatment. During the first approximately 90 days, men attend at least 18 hours of group therapy and one individual therapy session each week, along with daily 12-step meetings.
The second phase, which lasts up to six months, is less structured. Residents are required to obtain employment and attend around 10 hours of group and individual counseling each month. They are also expected to continue participating in Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA) programs.
MRC incorporates a variety of modalities in its treatment approach, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, and rational-emotive behavior therapy (REBT). Residents also receive education on topics such as grief, family of origin, nutrition, and anger management. Additionally, loved ones are encouraged to participate in recovery through educational and counseling sessions.
MRC offers dual diagnosis treatment to address conditions such as eating disorders, trauma, and personality disorders. Clients receive medical and wellness check-ups and undergo random drug testing throughout their stay.
Following residential rehab, MRC provides aftercare in the form of weekly outpatient meetings and continued drug testing for up to a year.
