Family ProgramWhat Our Clients Are Saying
Taylor’s passion for helping others is laudable and inspirational, and it shines through in all of his actions. I sought Taylor’s advice to help my brother overcome substance abuse and mental health issues. Taylor spent hours working with me, guiding me through many options to find the one that best suited my brother’s needs. It was evident at the outset that his primary goal was to help my brother, not to bring in patients; he readily gave me recommendations outside of Midwest Recovery so that I could compare all possibilities, asking for nothing in return.
Taylor works with dozens of families at any given time, yet he was always there for me when I had a question. He checked in to see how my brother was doing, and despite my attempts to respect his personal time, he responded even during evenings or days off.
Taylor is wise, kind, and compassionate, and he wields these traits like a tsunami sized force of good in the world. Talking to him costs nothing and may change your life. I recommend it with all my heart.
The food is amazing,
They don't make you feel any lesser of yourself, you still feel HUMAN.
The lovely members of their staff from the lab techs, to the nurses, to the therapists.
In my short stay i managed to learn alot about myself before i decided it was in my best interest to pursue a different avenue.
I want to give a huge shout out to the staff members
Lab techs: Anthony, Josh, Zach, Cassie
Nurses or Nurse Practitioners: Beth, Shaniqua, Sarah, Geraldine.
Therapists: Esther and Tara
If you need help. Please seek it.
And this place is an amazing place to start.
Great place, hopefully never coming back!
Great staff, clean, small intimate environment, feels more like a home than a rehab center.
The therapist, nurses and tech staff are caring and well trained.
The group curriculum and exercises are informative and fun.
They did an excellent job of helping me detox and get a grip on my alcoholism and cross addictions.
And the food is great!
M.R.C. is hands down the absolute best recovery center in the KC area!
It is a twelve step recovery program. Religion is not stressed by any means but the need for a higher power certainly is. Attending N A and A A meetings is a high priority.
I have been through other thirty day programs and they were not effective for me. I believe , MRC has provided the skills to stay sober.
