Services Offered
Addiction Treatment Services
Mirror offers a comprehensive continuum of care for those seeking assistance with addiction to drugs and alcohol. Through our assessment and evaluation process, our clinical staff can determine the need for services and the level of care best suited for each person.
Outpatient Services For those who have functioning support in the community, primary treatment can often be achieved through an outpatient setting, allowing you to live on your own while in the program. Through individual and group therapy, our clients attend treatment sessions on a regular basis for a prescribed period through one of our conveniently located outpatient offices. Services can also be received in an intensive outpatient format, depending upon each individual's unique needs.
Aftercare Our Aftercare program is designed to provide counseling on an on-going basis for clients who have already completed treatment in either a residential or intensive outpatient addiction treatment. This program helps people gradually ease back into their everyday lives without feeling out of control or falling back into destructive habits. It gives clients a chance to do any extra work on themselves or their recovery that was left unfinished by primary treatment.
Fees and Payment
Mirror is able to serve you if you have insurance or the ability to pay for your treatment services. If you cannot afford treatment, we will do everything we can to help. The State of Kansas has funds that can be used to pay for services for those that qualify and who meet the eligibility criteria. A determination can be made at the time of your assessment if you bring proof of income and residency as well as a photo ID. Kansas's Medicaid program, called Kancare, will also pay for services, but must be pre-approved. Pre-approval is handled by our staff. For individuals needing assistance with billing questions, please feel free to contact us via email or by phone directly.

Qualifying for assistance from Kansas' program usually depends on the severity of your condition and financial circumstance. Read our full guide to Kansas' program.
A community counseling agency is a group therapy practice that offers affordable mental health services. Most are independent non-profit agencies, state agencies, or publicly-funded agencies. A few may restrict who is eligible for services, so it is a good idea to check when you call.
Community counseling agencies are generally more affordable than other therapy providers, but how much more affordable they are will depend on whether you qualify for a discount or sliding scale fee (or if they accept your insurance). Many, but not all, have a policy that they won't turn away anyone due to inability to pay. You should ask about their fees when you first call.
Expect to talk to kind people who want to help you find the care you need. Most community agencies strive to connect you with a live person within 24 hours, if not immediately. If you're asked to hold or leave a message, don't give up; just leave a message and wait. You should hear back pretty quickly.
Most agencies try to set up an initial assessment appointment within a week (some do within 24 hours), though the waitlist to start therapy is usually longer—about a few weeks on average. If you're not eligible or if the agency is not right for you, it's usually still worth it to call or drop in, because staff are knowledgeable about local options and can often refer you to one.
