The Addiction Treatment Program is comprised of four separate yet connected units:

• Aftercare Program – Topeka, KS
• Intensive and Aftercare Programs – Leavenworth, KS
• Community Based Outpatient Intensive & Aftercare Program – St. Joseph, MO
• Psychiatry and Addiction Recovery Treatment (PART) – Leavenworth, KS

An Intensive Treatment Program by definition is a minimum of three days per week, three hours per day, and three weeks.

Aftercare is group treatment provided following an intensive program either in our facility or another VA facility and is not time limited in either the number of days of treatment or the number of hours per day. Essentially, Aftercare is provided as a means of ongoing supportive treatment and therapy for those seeking look term sobriety and needing a structured facility.

Community Based Outreach Center promotes an intensive/aftercare program. Treatment will be provided by a staff psychologist and an addiction therapist assigned three days per week to the St. Joseph Community Based Outpatient Clinic and two days per week to Leavenworth.

The PART Program is a dual-disorder program; thus, veterans who participate in this program have a primary psychiatric diagnosis (e.g. Schizophrenia or other thought disorders, mood disorders including Major Depression and Bipolar, PTSD or other anxiety related disorders, etc.) and a secondary substance use disorder. The PART program is a 25-bed, 6-week residential program. Treatment focuses on management of psychiatric sequel, remediation of coping skills and techniques, and review of relapse prevention strategies.
