Living at the Facility

When beginning your treatment journey at The Recovery Village Kansas City, you’ll start by preparing for your stay.

What to Pack

We’ve included an overview of what to pack to ensure you have what you need but can remain focused on your recovery. Items that are encouraged and discouraged are also included. Please limit your luggage to two bags.

Preparing Your Job for Your Rehab Stay

Federal laws and workplace policies are in place to protect people who want to recover from addiction. Understanding your rights as an employee and having a plan can help you keep your job during treatment. If you’re considering using FMLA benefits to protect your job while you’re in rehab, it’s really important to start the process as soon as possible, even before you arrive for treatment. You’ll need to contact your employer to start the paperwork required for FMLA. To protect your privacy, you only need to say you’re seeking medical treatment.

Travel Arrangements

Our team of Recovery Advocates can help arrange your travel so that you arrive on time and safely at The Recovery Village Kansas City. Patients can book their travel, or we can help them coordinate plans. Our team can also help arrange pick-up to and from the airport or train or bus stations.

Phone Policy

Patients can choose to make a safety call to loved ones upon arrival. No cell phone usage is allowed during the detox period. No cell phone usage allowed during the first 24 hours of primary mental health care. Following the cell phone-free period, cell phone usage is only allowed outside of the hours of 9am-3pm to avoid interruption of treatment time. Upon admission, all personal phones will: receive a red security strip covering the camera, the red security strip shall not be tampered with in any manner and if the security strip is tampered with in any manner, the patient’s phone may be removed from the patient’s possession.

Smoking Policy

Each level of care has a covered outdoor smoking area. Cigarettes and chewing tobacco are allowed onsite, and patients who smoke are encouraged to bring enough new, unopened cartons for the entirety of their stay. Black and milds, cigars, pipes and pipe tobacco are not allowed. Vaping is allowed onsite and approved disposable vapes must be unopened.

Insurance and Your Obligations During Treatment

Nearly all health insurance plans require you to pay some out-of-pocket costs in order to access your healthcare benefits (collectively, the “Patient Responsibility”). Your individual Patient Responsibility will vary. 

A staff member will review your Patient Responsibility with you when you’re admitted or as soon as you are medically stable. They will explain the deductible is due during admission and that the co-insurance amount and out-of-pocket balance will be billed and paid for once services are complete. Onsite financial counselors will review your financial responsibility again during treatment with case managers, who can also help you navigate FMLA.

It is your responsibility to check with your insurance provider prior to admitting at The Recovery Village Kansas City to understand your individual benefits plan. Please note that your insurance plan may not be a “participating provider” with The Recovery Village Kansas City. You are responsible for all non-covered and out-of-pocket costs related to your treatment stay.

Your Privacy Is Important to Us

The Recovery Village Kansas City recognizes your right to privacy. We hold each person’s confidentiality in the highest regard.

Upon arrival at The Recovery Village Kansas City, each patient is given the opportunity to complete all necessary releases of information to allow staff to discuss important information with others for continuity of care. No information will be disclosed to any party without prior written consent of the patient, following all HIPAA guidelines and requirements.
