Mirror Inc - Shawnee Residential

Residential Care With Purpose

Located in the Kansas City suburb of Shawnee, Mirror Inc – Shawnee Residential provides 24-hour, adult residential treatment in a structured, home-like environment. The facility’s reintegration program helps clients regain stability and confidence through self-regulation, daily living routines, and relapse-prevention planning, preparing individuals for a successful return to community life. With transportation assistance, employment counseling, and aftercare support, clients receive the tools needed to rebuild independence and maintain long-term recovery.

Focused, Integrated Treatment

Treatment addresses both substance use and co-occurring mental health disorders through evidence-based care. Clients participate in individual, group, and family counseling sessions grounded in trauma-informed approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, and relapse-prevention planning. Education and counseling on physical health, substance use, and emotional wellness help clients connect therapeutic progress with real-world coping strategies.

Supportive Programs That Build Stability

The program emphasizes real-life readiness, offering life-skills and social-skills development alongside vocational counseling and job training. Case management, housing support, and assistance with social services reduce barriers that can interrupt recovery. Peer mentoring, self-help groups, and transportation assistance reinforce access to care. The center welcomes adults of all ages, including veterans, older adults, and women who are pregnant or postpartum, as well as clients managing trauma or co-occurring pain.

Continuity Of Care And Community Reentry

Recovery planning continues well beyond the residential phase. The facility’s aftercare program includes ongoing counseling, relapse-prevention education, and naloxone training when appropriate. Step-down options and follow-up support help clients maintain treatment gains and transition smoothly into outpatient care or independent living. Rooted in Mirror Inc’s mission to strengthen individuals and communities through hope and growth, the Shawnee program provides structured, practical support for lasting recovery and reintegration.
