Help From Us

The KCIC provides the Morningstar Outreach Program which encourages and assists Native American families in the Kansas City area experiencing alcohol and substance abuse since 1974. The goal of the Morningstar Outreach Program is to provide counseling and case management for Native Americans experiencing alcohol and/or substance abuse and who are wanting to pursue recovery or are in active recovery. Specifically, the Morningstar Outreach Program provides a plan for recovery and various resources in the community for individuals and their families to maintain their recovery from substance use and to continue to live a happy, healthy life without substances.
