0601 Kansas Department for Aging and Disability Services (KDADS)/Behavioral Health Services (BHS) for Addiction and Recovery

 

Substance use disorders treatment and child welfare are overlapping areas of practice.  The Family Based Assessment includes questions regarding substance use disorders to assist staff in determining the need for further screening and assessment services.

Families in need of a more comprehensive assessment may be referred to the Pre-Paid Inpatient Health Plan (PIHP) associated substance use disorders assessment and treatment provider.

 

1. To be eligible for KDADS/BHS funded services the individual must:
   1. Be a State of Kansas resident
   2. Have income that is less than 200% of Federal Poverty Guidelines.
   3. Have no other means of paying for treatment

Families referred to the PIHP associated substance abuse assessment and treatment provider by DCF staff, and meeting the above criteria, may be eligible to receive assessment services at no charge.  Families with available insurance coverage should seek services first through the process established by that company.

 

2. Addiction and Prevention Services provides funding for an array of programs across the state including these specialized services:
   1. Social Detoxification for customers under the influence of drugs or alcohol or experiencing acute withdrawal. (Individuals may access those services directly)
   2. Residential and outpatient programs for pregnant women and women with dependent children.
   3. Residential and outpatient programs for adolescents.

Those individuals qualifying for medical cards enter the treatment system by the same process as KDADS/BHS funded customers and covers assessment and treatment services with the exception of detoxification.
