The Impact of Addiction in Kansas

Drug and Alcohol Abuse Treatment in Kansas

For the Wizard of Oz, Kansas was the setting, but it is more than just a nation of witches and fairies. It was in Kansas that families pulled their wagons west on the Oregon and the Santa Fe trails to hunt for new homes. Forts, roads and landmarks across the country give life to this history. The State Capital is Topeka, home to the famous State Hall of Kansas and the Arts District of North Topeka.

Similar to the rest of the nation, drug and alcohol use is a serious threat in Kansas. Many residents struggle with high rates of both substance abuse as well as addiction. Approximately 42% of adults in Kansas have tried an illicit drug at some point in their lives. Similarly, 12.4% of the state population uses illegal drugs, and another 4.5% of the state population abuse alcohol in a given year. As a result, 15.16% of all deaths in Kansas between 2008 and 2017 were caused by either drugs or alcohol. This number is over 2% points above the national average for drug-and alcohol-induced deaths.

Of course, Kansas is a wonderful place to visit and stay, but it has issues with substance addiction as do all other states.

The most commonly abused drugs are opioids and methamphetamines. Nevertheless, there are many other substances that are abused as well. For example, crack cocaine is readily available, especially in major urban areas. Kansas is also a major transshipment point for drugs coming from Mexico.

Fortunately, it seems that the state has increased the total number of addiction treatment and rehabilitation centers which shows that recovery from substance abuse in Kansas is possible. Furthermore, in June of 2015, a division of the Department of Health and Human Services awarded a grant of $3.6 million to the state for a five-year project to assist in education and awareness about prescription drug misuse and underage drinking.

Worst Drugs in Kansas

About 55,000 people over the age of 12 reported illicit drug use such as heroin or cocaine. The highest prevalence of heroin use was among 9th-grade students.
  2. Cocaine is among the top abused substances in the state. In 2009, 1,364 people who smoked cocaine went to substance abuse treatment and an additional 436 went for ingesting cocaine by other means. Only 15.1% of heroin and cocaine users received treatment for their addictions in 2014.
  3. According to several sources, the largest increase in drugs cited as abused was methamphetamine. Trends showed an increase of 3% in 1992 to 25% in 2006. Methamphetamine is the most widely available drug and Mexican crystalized methamphetamine is the most prevalent form. Its purity range is consistently between 98-100%. In Kansas, more than one in twenty people aged 12 and older abused methamphetamine in their lifetime.
  4. Marijuana also belongs to the list of top offenders. Among those entering treatment in 2009, marijuana was the most commonly cited drug among primary drug treatment admissions in the state at 5,506. Of these admissions, 73.2% were male and 26.8% were female.
  5. Alcohol continues to be a problem for countless Kansas residents, including teens and young adults. From 2009 to 2013, heavy alcohol consumption in Kansas increased and men are more frequently heavier drinkers than women.
