 Central Kansas Foundation
Salina, KS
The Central Kansas Foundation for Alcohol & Chemical Dependency (CKF) continues to be a leader in addressing the needs of people with substance use disorders in Kansas. With facilities in Salina, Abilene, Junction City, McPherson and Beloit, the agency is able to provide a wide range of services, with an emphasis on each individual's unique needs.
The Pathfinder Recovery Center was opened in September of 2010 as a drop-in center accessible to any individual, family or community member who needs information about addiction and recovery, or support throughout the stages of recovery. The Recovery Center was named the Pathfinder after the first CKF program, founded in 1967, to honor CKF's history and roots as a community-based program.
Over the past several years, CKF has successfully integrated recovery services into acute and primary care settings, which is viewed as a key component in early detection, intervention, and support for those with substance use disorders. It is the goal of the Central Kansas Foundation to support recovery through the lifespan and to celebrate each person's unique path to recovery.
Mission:
