Central East Alcoholism and Drug Council

What Central East Alcoholism and Drug Council does

Central East Alcoholism and Drug Council, doing business as Hour House, is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit substance use disorder treatment organization founded in 1972 in Charleston, Illinois. It operates 10 service sites across an 8-county region in east-central Illinois (Clark, Coles, Cumberland, Douglas, Edgar, Effingham, Shelby, Moultrie), delivering a full continuum of care that includes 24/7 detoxification, adult and adolescent residential treatment, halfway houses, recovery homes (including a women's recovery home with children), intensive and standard outpatient programs, Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT), DUI evaluation, gambling disorder treatment, and youth prevention services such as the B.A.S.E. program. The organization complements clinical services with community-based recovery infrastructure through Recovery Oriented Systems of Care (ROSC) Councils, Community Outreach Recovery Support (CORS), the Drug Overdose Prevention Program (DOPP) distributing free NARCAN at 100+ partner sites, and the statewide Illinois Family Resource Center.

The underlying technology is human-delivered, evidence-based clinical practice — cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, gender-specific groups, harm reduction, and FDA-approved MAT — supported by CARF accreditation, Illinois DBHR licensure, and SAMHSA funding oversight. Distribution is hybrid: physical facilities for clinical care, phone/online intake for self- and family referrals, and a network of healthcare, court, DCFS, and school referral partners. There is no proprietary software platform, app, or AI/ML capability; digital presence is limited to a website, podcast, and standard social media channels.

The revenue model is a mix of government grants (IDHS-DBHR, SAMHSA), Medicaid and private insurance reimbursement, sliding-scale private pay, and tax-deductible donations. Lead generation is community-led through ROSC Councils, hospital and school referrals, Recovery Month events, and grassroots outreach. Pricing is service-by-service with a free, no-obligation initial screening. Customer concentration is high relative to government funders, and growth has been incremental via new program lines rather than expansion into new markets.
