Service Delivery By Heartland RADAC During COVID

Heartland RADAC continues to serve clients while maintaining effective health and safety protocols for both clients and staff. 

Heartland RADAC requests that all clients and staff practice safe social distancing recommendations while engaged in services.  All local mandates by local county or municipality health departments, will also be followed. Masks are recommended for any in-person contact, especially if you have not been vaccinated.

In-person Assessments, Case Management, Peer/Recovery Coaching, and Treatment are available.  Phone, and video appointments are available on a limited basis, dependent on client access to a phone or computer.  We are now required to get signatures on releases, as the state of emergency waiver which allowed verbal consent has expired.  Signatures can be obtained via DocuSign, if you have access to a cell phone or email, or you can download the forms from the Release Forms & Notifications link at the bottom of this page. 

Please call us at 913-789-0951 or 1-800-281-0029 to schedule an assessment. 

Schedulers will ask you a series of questions to determine your eligibility and the type of service (in-person, phone, or video) which will best meet your individual needs. 

Governor Brownback Announces Improvements to Rainbow

Kansas City - Kansas Governor Sam Brownback announced that the state has entered into an agreement with Wyandot Center to transition the Rainbow Mental Health Facility into a crisis stabilization resource to serve persons with mental illness or substance use disorders in the Kansas City metro area. Wyandot Center will partner with the Johnson County Mental Health Center and Heartland Regional Alcohol and Drug Assessment Center (Heartland RADAC) for this initiative.

"This is the most significant change we have made to the Kansas mental health system in two decades," Governor Brownback said. "Our goal is to establish and support alternative community programs that will decrease reliance on Osawatomie State Hospital (OSH) and the unnecessary use of local emergency rooms, community hospital and jails."

"We believe the combined expertise of the two community mental health centers and Heartland RADAC will repurpose Rainbow for services that are responsive to community needs with the potential of becoming a template for the rest of Kansas, Kansas Department for Aging and Disability Services Secretary Shawn Sullivan said, " I would like to thank Senator Denning and Rep. Wolfe-Moore, and the behavioral health and law enforcement communities for their support and involvement in the design process of this project."

"The new Rainbow Mental Health Model is a long-term solution for Wyandotte and Johnson County. Rep. Moore and I worked together across party lines to ensure these needed services would be offered and the funding would be in place. Sheriff Frank Denning has often said public safety officers and the patients need a 'port in the storm.' The new Rainbow model with emphasis on crisis stabilization services will provide this safe port for both the mental health patients and public safety officers," said Senator Jim Denning, R-Overland Park.

Peter W. Zevenbergen, Jr., president and CEO of Wyandot, Inc., said that the Rainbow entity will support collaborative efforts with law enforcement agencies in both counties to reduce the number of persons with mental illness and/or substance use disorders who are incarcerated for low-level crimes.

"We want to get people in our jails who are suffering from mental illness into an appropriate treatment setting, and we want to get our law enforcement officers back on the street," Zevenbergen said.

Wyandot Center, Johnson County Mental Health Center and the Heartland RADAC will continue to operate crisis stabilization services at existing locations in their respective communities. The residential treatment beds that were removed from the Rainbow Mental Health Facility to OSH in the fall of 2011 will remain at OSH, and the state will not resume provision of the mental health services at Rainbow.

Beautiful things grow when we work together for good.
