Strengthening Families, Individual Well Being
and Self-Sufficiency

Building Strong Families Through Recovery 

Central Kansas Foundation (CKF) was founded in 1967 by a small group of people concerned about alcoholism in the community.  Its  mission has been to meet the substance abuse prevention and treatment needs of the community.  CKF experienced a 59% increase in admissions to all programs last year.  During 1999, 1329 sessions of therapy were delivered. 

The treatment services are effective.  80% of clients report increased income following treatment.  Also, 60% of clients report abstinence at 6 months following treatment. 

United Way funds provide financial assistance to ensure that persons suffering from addictive diseases have an opportunity to enter and sustain full recovery.  In a letter to United Way, a client writes how CKF has helped her live a normal and moral life.  “I was taught how to deal with everyday life and problems.  I know if I ever need help they will always be there for me.”
