More Information

Located in the heart of the Midwest, Kansas is one of the top sources of agricultural production in the United States. Known as the Sunflower State, Kansas is known for its sweeping plains and fertile farmlands. More recently, Kansas has also become known for its illegal production of methamphetamine. In 2005, lawmakers in Kansas approved the Mathew Samuels Chemical Control Act, which limited the sale of over-the-counter medications containing pseudophedrine to licensed pharmacists. This law was passed in an effort to crack down on meth manufacturers who were using pseudophedrine, a common stimulant, for meth production.

Methamphetamine, a central nervous system stimulant, is one of the most addictive illicit drugs available, but meth is only one of the reasons that Kansans seek drug rehab. Abuse of marijuana, heroin, prescription pain medications, hallucinogenic drugs and alcohol accounts for many admissions to treatment.
Inpatient vs. Outpatient recovery program Treatment
The state of Kansas sponsors a wide range of substance abuse treatment programs for its residents, from inpatient rehab centers to partial hospitalization programs and outpatient services. How do you know which of these programs is right for you?

The cost of treatment is a consideration for many Kansans. An addiction to drugs or alcohol can devastate your finances, and by the time you’re ready to seek help, you may not have the resources to pay for an intensive inpatient program. Thanks to programs like ValueOptions Kansas, a publicly funded rehab services provider, your financial status doesn’t have to be a barrier to healing.

Residents who are eligible for Medicaid or for the Substance Abuse Prevention and Treatment program can qualify for treatment through ValueOptions.

The Kansas Department for Aging and Disability Services (KDADS) supports a number of free or low-cost rehabilitation services to the residents of the Sunflower State.
