Outpatient Drug & Alcohol Rehabs in Kansas

Drug and alcohol abuse rates in Kansas tend to be slightly lower than the national average. But the state still struggles with addiction.

Methamphetamine remains the primary illicit substance of abuse in Kansas.² Heavy alcohol use and binge drinking use have increased in recent years, and drug-related deaths have also gone up. In addition, less youth and adults view marijuana use as harmful compared to just a few years ago.

• Past-month heavy alcohol consumption in Kansas among adults increased from 2009-2013, from 4.1% to 4.6%.²

Rehab costs vary based on a person’s individual preferences and the necessary level of care. A few variables contribute to the overall cost of treatment:

• Length of stay: This is based upon the severity of the addiction and other factors.
• Amenities: More luxurious amenities will add to the overall costs. You may be looking for luxury or executive rehab treatment.
• Program type: Inpatient services offer 24/7 assistance and are more expensive than outpatient programs.
• Services: Adding ancillary services such as massage therapy to the core offerings will increase the cost of paying for treatment.

There are many different types of treatment methods for drug addiction. A rehab specialist will provide you with all of the information you need to get into the right program for you.
