Drug and Alcohol Abuse
Kansas City Community Center is in the business of rehabilitation for drug addicts, alcoholics and offenders. Many of these individuals have no history of pro-social, stable lifestyles. Countless numbers are the children of drug addicts and alcoholics. They cannot envision a substance free life.
There are five stages of recovery – pre-contemplation, contemplation, action, relapse prevention, and maintenance. In early recovery, addicts and alcoholics are seeking reasons as to why they became addicted to drugs and/or alcohol. As research in the field has progressed, it is clear that if you need a drink or a drug, there will always be justification. Treatment begins when the individual is concentrating on the here and now, not yesterday and not tomorrow. It is the task of Kansas City Community Center to facilitate and support that process.

The Cost of Drug Addiction
Drug addicts lose everything. But it doesn’t happen all at once. You don’t wake up one day and become an addict. It’s a slow erosion. Twenty-one million individuals in this country over the age of 12 use illicit drugs and/or meet the diagnostic criteria of drug addiction.
Don’t overlook the effect on the family. Even if you don’t agree with treatment because you believe addicts are flawed, think about the costs of treating abused wives, damaged kids, innocent bystanders.
