ReDiscover Overview

Founded in October 1968, Missouri, ReDiscover is a community resource for women, men, and children living in Jackson County, Missouri suffering from mental health and substance abuse issues. It is a non-profit organization that was started by a group of people who believed inaccessible and affordable health care for people with mental illness, emotional, and behavioral problems. ReDiscover also treats individuals battling co-occurring disorders. The agency believes in family-centered recovery and offers family therapy for individuals in the inpatient and outpatient program. This also involves group therapy and education sessions for the family about the impact of addiction. Spread through three separate locations in Kansas City, ReDiscover operates three inpatient treatment programs at Armour Boulevard, Catherine’s Place (which is also a children’s daycare center), and Lee’s Summit. The first location operates an inpatient and outpatient program for single women; Catherine’s Place caters to pregnant women and mothers and is one of the few programs in Kansas City that allows for mothers to bring along their children for treatment and Lee’s Summit services adult men and women. The center offers a style of treatment which is evidence-based and tailored to fit the specific needs of each patient. The organization also has options for individuals to engage in group therapy, 12-step programs, job readiness, parenting classes, on-site child care, and stress management.

Accommodation & Schedules

The centers’ Armour Boulevard branch can house about 11 residents, with each resident sharing a room with one or two other single women. Mothers share rooms with their children and pregnant women are to share rooms with other pregnant women. Catherine’s place can house up to 14 women and has an outdoor playground and a play area for children, while Lee’s Summit can house up to eight men and women. In the latter, roommates are categorized by gender. All three facilities offered by the organization give modest accommodation but with limited storage. The facilities also have TV and relaxation centers.

Why ReDiscover

Involving family in the recovery process is a key part of the treatment programs, so family therapy is a program incorporated into the inpatient and outpatient programs. It involves educating families on the importance of communication and addiction in its entirety. ReDiscover’s Alt Care Program allows women who have past criminal offenses to take part in mental health and substance abuse programs but this is an outpatient service. The organization provides intensive programs which are run by experienced and educated professionals making it one of the top choices for treatment and recovery, especially for women with kids or women currently pregnant.
