The Substance Abuse Center of Kansas, or SACK, is working to keep non-threatening addicts out of jail and get them sober or into treatment. Social detox is located inside the Mental Health Crisis Center. “We have 15 beds in detox and another 10 in the sober unit,” Harold Casey, the executive director of SACK, said. SACK can’t offer medication. What they can provide is a safe space. The average stay is five to six days for social detox and one day for the sobering unit. This is a passion project with a personal connection for Casey.
