Kansas Rehabs

Kansas is known for its barbeque, trains, museums, open plains, and rich history. Between cattle drives, fields of grain, and friendly people, the sunflower state is often a wonderful place to be. Its agricultural economy features cattle, wheat, soybeans, and corn. Some even believe that a portion of our national anthem was written with Kansas in mind.

Unfortunately, Kansas has another important and less pleasant distinction. It is also known for the amount of people on methamphetamine, alcohol, and marijuana. Methamphetamine is an ever growing problem with the people of Kansas followed closely by crack cocaine and marijuana.

With a population of almost 3 million people and a 13.5 percent poverty rate, it is little wonder why these three drugs present a problem for Kansas residents. Fortunately, help is available.

Causes & Signs of Drug Abuse

The causes of addiction in Kansas are similar to those all over the country. Most people become addicted to the less expensive drugs due to the relatively low average income. This means that alcohol, methamphetamine, and crack cocaine are the usual drugs of choice. There are many reasons why people become addicts. A few of these reasons are:

Peer pressure
Environment or having parents who use drugs
Having a poor family life
Social and physical isolation
Boredom or lack of interests
Medical or physical ailments that are left untreated
Socioeconomic status
Stressful home or working conditions

Although these are not the only factors in whether a person becomes an addict, they are the usual reasons. If one or more of these circumstances are present, you might want to evaluate the signs of drug addiction. These signs are:

Failure to care about hygiene or personal appearance
Obsession with the drugs or alcohol
Anxiety when you are about to run out of drugs or alcohol
Failure to attend family functions or other important events
Secretive behavior
Drastic changes in habits
Insomnia or hypersomnia
Changes in behavior and mood swings
Risk taking behaviors while on the drugs or alcohol or to obtain drugs or alcohol
Missing prescriptions or items of value

Although these are not the only signs of addiction, they are some of the most common. These signs can give you a starting point to finding the help that you need.
