Heartland Center for Behavioral Change Independence Outpatient Clinic

“I have had a family member addicted to fentanyl for years. I have taken them to many places only to be sent away with a script of suboxone. This DID NOT WORK. it was only abused. Then I made the phone call that is saving my sons life and he wad on detox within 4 hours of that call. 5 days later he entered their 90 day program and is doing great. He is 7 days in that program today, my grandson and I were able to have a short visit with him and he looks a thousand times better.. he looks healthy and his mind is clear and there is hope. FINALLY. They didn't just write him a script and send him away like everyone else listed below Research Rediscover(the absolute worst) Truman hospital Centerpoint All the above failed where Heartland is succeeding. Make that call to them they know what they are doing.”

“This amazing caring staff IS the difference at heartland. This is an underrated community resource in independence and Jackson county. It's not the abundance of resources, or judgements free environment of learning the art of new patterns and behaviors as tools to combat a variety of epidemics that affect every family. It is the HUMAN compassion, patience, counseling and tools for accountability. This place is a lifeline for those who have and have not other options or resources. Walk in and ask for help. It's that easy. First step.”

“This place threw me in they're system for almost 2 months, I was there to take my SATOP class and I had paid my $375 assement for SATOP. About a month into the program the told me something wasnt right and they had to look further into it, about a week later they tell me they didn't know I was in the SATOP program and that the had done me a "massive disservice". I was still going to the program still trying to get my hours in so i could get my license back and i could start driving again. Today i went in and they told me that i cpuld not keep doing the program because they didnt schedule me to do my evaluation, they scheduled me 3 weeks out from today to do said evaluation. I have received a PROBATION VIOLATION because I did not complete the class in the proper time limit. AVOID THIS PLACE, they messed everything I had going for me up and didn't help me what so ever. If I could give them a lesser rating I would.”

“I have worked with this organization and have several contacts enroll and receive services here. They are one of the best around if you are struggling with alcohol or substance use disorder. Very compassionate and genuinely want to help those that are wanting and needing to make positive changes in their lives. BECKY PELLEHAM IS ABSOLUTELY THE BEST. MAKE SURE YOU ASK TO MEET HER WHEN YOU ARE ON SITE. SHE IS EXTREMELY RESOURCEFUL, AND IF SHE SEES THAT YOU ARE TAKING YOUR RECOVERY SERIOUS AND TRYING TO BETTER YOUR LIFE THEN THE SKYS THE LIMIT AS FAR AS WHAT SHE CAN DO FOR YOU. I wouldn't mislead or try to benefit from someone seeking recovery as so many people and places do. This is the best place around especially if you dont have private health insurance.”
