ASAC (Area Substance Abuse Council) Services

ASAC, or the Area Substance Abuse Council, is a specialized non-profit healthcare organization providing comprehensive substance use disorder and mental health treatment services. Established in 1962, the organization was founded to serve the East Central Iowa region, focusing on prevention, intervention, and long-term recovery support for individuals and families affected by addiction.

Operating primarily out of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, ASAC provides a range of services including residential treatment, outpatient counseling, and community-based prevention programs. The organization follows strict federal and state guidelines, including HIPAA and 42 CFR Part 2, to ensure patient privacy and high standards of clinical care.

As a community-governed non-profit organization, ASAC is owned by its board of directors and operates for the public benefit of the citizens of Iowa. It relies on a combination of state funding, federal grants, and private donations to maintain its operations and expand its reach across its service area.
