About Substance Abuse Center Of Kansas Inc – Hutchinson
Substance Abuse Center of Kansas, located in Wichita, Kansas, is a nonprofit organization specializing in the prevention, treatment, and case management of individuals affected by substance abuse. They offer complete substance abuse placement assessments for people who meet eligibility criteria and for at risk individuals.
Substance Abuse Center of Kansas offers detox, outpatient, and peer to peer recovery services.
Detoxification provides stabilization for adult men and women with substance use disorder. When detox is completed in an inpatient setting, there will be monitoring of vital signs and withdrawal symptoms to ensure the process is as comfortable as possible. When detox is completed on an outpatient basis, monitoring cannot be continuous. The length of detox and the method used varies depending on what is best for each person. At Substance Abuse Center of Kansas, if medical care is needed, patients are referred out to best support their needs. On average, the typical length of stay is 3 – 5 days.
Outpatient treatment programming is a more flexible approach to addiction treatment than inpatient settings. This service often provides continued support for addiction recovery through individual therapy, group therapy, and educational classes. Life skills and recovery tools are taught and practiced with others who are no longer using substances to cope. The goal is to continue to move toward a life of recovery and a suitable aftercare treatment plan that allows for reintegration back into society.
Peer to Peers helps individuals and families overcome everyday barriers through resources, support, and guidance. Peer mentorship is the process of connecting two individuals who have faced similar challenges with one person who has overcome the challenges already. Their knowledge and experience help guide the other, allowing for a personal support system outside of a traditional clinic setting. Peer mentors respect the right of every person to find their own recovery, whether that means through the church, 12 step meetings, or other forms of support groups.
