We understand that drug and alcohol addictions are progressive diseases. In order to live a clean and sober life, a new foundation must be built.
Atishwin is the Chumash Indian word for dream helper. Bill Vineyard and his staff at the Atishwin Institute are deeply committed to the suffering alcoholic and the drug addicted person. His life's work has been about making the impossible happen for the individual and his family living under the power of addiction. We want to assist you in breaking the cycle of substance dependance to make dormant dreams come true.
If you are ready to discover your dreams or if a loved ones dreams are being snuffed out by addiction, call us at 316-681-2533.

Atishwin uses a holistic approach to treating each client. We examine the whole person to determine the best approach to treatment for each individual within the parameters of our program. Cognitive based therapy, emotional therapy, psychodramatic role-playing and the twelve step programs of Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous are all part of our treatment program. Clients are involved in indivudual and group therapy and whenever possible, the clients family is included in the process.

Services provided by the Atishwin Institute are licensed and monitored by the state of Kansas. We are also certified through the Kansas Department of Corrections for both SB67 and SB123 placement as an alternative to incarceration.
