About Substance Abuse Center of Kansas
Substance Abuse Center of Kansas, widely known as SACK, has built a network of recovery services across Wichita, Hutchinson, Roeland Park, and El Dorado that meet Kansans wherever they are in their journey with substance use. The SACK Detox and Sobering Unit at 635 North Main Street is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, providing supervised withdrawal management for people who need a safe, structured environment to navigate the physical demands of detoxification.
Beyond detox, SACK pairs evidence-informed clinical care with peer support, recognizing that recovery is shaped by every dimension of a person’s life. The agency’s therapeutic approach blends individual therapy, group sessions, and peer-led recovery work, allowing clinicians to address co-occurring mental health concerns alongside addiction. CrossOver Recovery Center, also located in Wichita, offers court evaluations, case consultations, and connections to longer-term treatment, while the Hutchinson campus adds residential treatment options for clients who benefit from a 24/7 therapeutic environment.
Prevention and education are core to SACK’s mission. The organization develops community outreach, harm-reduction content, and support resources for families, schools, and employers throughout the region. By treating prevention as a proactive arm of recovery rather than an afterthought, SACK has positioned itself as a public-health partner for south-central and southeast Kansas, complementing the assessment work performed by its sister organization, Heartland RADAC, in the northern half of the state.
Financial barriers are addressed through SACK’s financial assistance program, helping uninsured and underinsured residents access detox, residential, and peer services. Anyone seeking help can call the SACK admissions line for an assessment and a warm handoff into the level of care that best fits their clinical needs.
