Kansas Addiction Hotlines

America has a severe addiction problem, and Kansas is no exception. Substance abuse is among the top health concerns in the state. This year, 10.4% of residents reported illicit drug use sometime during the last month, per the CDC. A total of 680 residents died from overdoses in 2021 alone. Data is not yet available for last year.

Unfortunately, addiction has a grip not just on Kansas, but on all of America. Fortunately, there is help.
