Kansas Drug and Alcohol Rehabs

Kansas Addiction Rehab Information

Finding the best rehab treatment centers to over overcome chemical dependency - be it drugs or alcohol - can be a frustrating endeavor.  Just in the state of Kansas, there are several options to choose from. Our counselors can go over the options with you.  We know location, private vs. non-profit, in-patient vs. out-patient as well as several other factors should be considered before you make your choice let alone the different types of drug treatment programs that are available.

The state of Kansas provides several drug and alcohol rehab programs for adults and adolescents. With so many choices, one would think it wouldn't be too difficult to select a program, but you would be wrong. There are just about as many drug rehab treatment philosophies as there are drug and alcohol rehab centers.

Some programs do not offer drug detox programs and thus refer out for this addiction treatment service. Others believe addiction is a disease forever leaving the addict in a problem stripping them of their freedom of choice to overcome addiction and sentencing them to a lifetime of alcoholism or being a drug addict and thus, opening the door to relapse.

Another aspect of selecting a drug rehab treatment program is whether the user should attend a program close to home or not. Sometimes selecting a program far from home is key to success especially when choosing long-term inpatient treatment programs. This provides a "trigger-free" environment which distances the individual from negative reinforcements for their addictive behavior.

Drug and Alcohol Rehab Reference Center's staff is experienced in matching drug rehab needs with the proper facility. Not every Kansas drug rehab program meets every individual's needs.  Fill out the form to the right to set up the time best to contact you.


Kansas Drug Use Information

According to the DEA (U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration), marijuana remains the most widely abused illegal substance in Kansas. Mexican traffickers dominate the marijuana market in the state, transporting large loads of lower grade marijuana via the Interstate highway system. Indoor cultivation, including hydroponically grown marijuana, continues to be a concern in all areas. The hydroponic marijuana is in strong demand due to its higher potency and commands a much higher price than Mexican marijuana. A highly potent form of hydroponic marijuana, known as “Purple Kush,” is also being found in the Kansas City area, and has been linked to several homicides.

Crystal or “ice” methamphetamine, produced and trafficked by Mexican DTOs (Drug Trafficking Organizations), is predominant throughout Kansas. Imported Mexican methamphetamine is generally high in purity and relatively inexpensive. However, law enforcement throughout Kansas is reporting an increase in the local manufacture of methamphetamine. Most of these laboratories operate using the “birch” method and can be found in many different locations, including residences, hotels, vehicles, and remote farm areas.

Both cocaine HCl and crack cocaine are readily available throughout the state of Kansas.

The availability of Mexican black tar heroin in most of Kansas remains limited to small, user quantities, although larger quantities can be found in cities such as Wichita and Kansas City.

MDMA (ecstasy) remains available in limited quantities throughout the state of Kansas. It remains popular with young users, such as teenagers and young adults. It also remains very popular in the homosexual community, where it is often abused in conjunction with methamphetamine and/or Viagra.

PCP remains available in the Kansas City and Wichita areas.

OxyContin continues to be the pharmaceutical drug of choice in the state of Kansas. It is favored by its users over street drugs such as heroin due to the consistent purity and quality.

Prescription Drug Abuse

prescription drug addictionPrescription drug abuse means taking a prescription medication that is not prescribed for you, or taking it for reasons or in dosages other than as prescribed. Abuse of prescription drugs can produce serious health effects, including addiction.

According to the Office of National Drug Control Policy, abuse of prescription drugs to get high has become increasingly prevalent among teens and young adults. Past year abuse of prescription pain killers now ranks second—only behind marijuana—as the Nation's most prevalent illegal drug problem.  

There are three classes of prescription drugs that are most commonly abused:

•opioids such as codeine, oxycodone, and morphine;
•central nervous system (CNS) depressants such as barbiturates and benzodiazepines;
•stimulants such as dextroamphetamine and methylphenidate

Physically, drugs have three basic effects on the body. Either the drug is a stimulant which gives the body a feeling of being “high” or energized; it can be a depressant where it gives the body a feeling of being calm or even sleepy; or a drug can distort the senses.

In a recent USA Today article on the prevalence of prescription drug abuse, Leonard Paulouzzi of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention was quoted as saying, "prescription drugs cause
most of the more than 26,000 fatal overdoses each year." In the same article, Laxmaiah Manchikanti, chief executive officer and board chairman for the American Society of Interventional Pain Physicians. said, "About 120,000 Americans a year go to the emergency room after overdosing on opioid painkillers."
