ASAC provides accessible, comprehensive substance abuse services delivered with dignity, respect and professionalism to reduce the impact of substance use disorders.
Area Substance Abuse Council (ASAC) is a private nonprofit corporation governed by a volunteer Board of Directors. Formed in 1962, ASAC is one of the most comprehensive substance abuse prevention and treatment agencies in the state of Iowa. Our service area primarily serves Linn, Benton, Jones, Jackson and Clinton counties as well as clients from across Iowa.
ASAC is licensed by the Iowa Department of Public Health, Division of Health Promotion, Prevention and Addictive Behaviors, to combat the abuse of alcohol, tobacco and other drugs. Our mission is to provide accessible services designed to enhance the quality of life for individuals, families, and communities in East Central Iowa. Our services follow the continuum of care beginning with Prevention and Intervention moving through the various levels of Treatment.
Fiscal Year 2015 was a year of transition for ASAC with both of us coming into our leadership positions midway through the year. We were grateful for the opportunity to step into the roles knowing that were joining an agency with a solid history, deep community relationships and strong positive reputation. For more than three decades the staff and volunteers of ASAC have been dedicated to helping individuals, families, communities, and workplaces be healthy and substance free. Read the full report!
