About UnityPoint Health - Center for Alcohol and Drug Services - Rock Island
Across western Illinois, UnityPoint Health - Center for Alcohol and Drug Services (CADS) provides substance use education, prevention, assessment, and treatment for individuals and families of all ages. As a nonprofit organization, CADS also works with community groups and organizations to address substance use concerns through adult treatment, youth prevention initiatives, and continuing care programs.
Treatment and Community Prevention Programs
Treatment options include intensive and extended outpatient programs, counseling, and adult outpatient methadone treatment. Physicians assess each person to determine whether methadone treatment is appropriate. CADS also provides continuing care for adults and adolescents who complete primary treatment, while community prevention initiatives address alcohol, marijuana, tobacco, and prescription drug use. CADS operates from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, 8:00 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. on Tuesdays, and 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. on Fridays.
