Alcohol and Drug Dependency Services of Southeast Iowa

What Alcohol and Drug Dependency Services of Southeast Iowa does

ADDS is a private nonprofit behavioral health provider licensed by the Iowa Department of Health and Human Services and operating since 1966 across Des Moines, Henry, Lee, and Louisa counties in southeast Iowa. From its Burlington headquarters, it delivers a full continuum of substance use disorder, problem gambling, prevention, and co-occurring mental health services through five physical locations: Burlington (with a 20-bed residential facility and on-site MAT), Mount Pleasant, Keokuk, Wapello, and the River Cross 15-bed dual-diagnosis residential facility in Burlington operated with Hope Haven Corp and Young House Family Services. The service portfolio covers outpatient counseling (individual and group), intensive outpatient, walk-in evaluations, residential treatment averaging 30–60 day stays, medication assisted treatment for alcohol and opioid use disorder (in partnership with UCS Healthcare with priority admission for pregnant women and people who inject drugs), peer recovery coaching, state Opioid Response-funded prevention programming in schools and workplaces, drug-free workplace and DOT drug testing, the state-mandated 12-hour OWI course at $180 per participant using Prime for Life curriculum, problem gambling counseling with financial counseling, and tobacco cessation referrals to QuitLine Iowa and MyLifeMyQuit. The organization holds CARF accreditation and is part of the HHS Integrated Provider Network.

Underlying clinical operations run through the NextStep platform (nextstepms.com) for patient forms, client portals, and referral tracking, supported by evidence-based assessment tools; no proprietary technology platform, AI/ML system, or custom software is described. The RISE Iowa recovery mobile app was previously offered but discontinued on July 1, 2024.

ADDS is funded through a hybrid revenue model combining state and federal government grants (Iowa HHS, SAMHSA, State Opioid Response), United Way and local grants, client payments (private insurance, Medicaid Title XIX, personal payment), a sliding fee scale based on income, employer drug testing accounts, and ancillary course fees. Customer acquisition is community-led and sales-supported: walk-in access is offered at all office locations with no appointment required, supplemented by formal referral pipelines from community agencies, EMS/law enforcement, hospitals and EDs, schools, and local employers. Leadership is headed by Executive Director Daniel Kenel with Jessica Hartz (Associate Director, Treatment Services) and Lena Jones (Associate Director, Administration).
