Mission Statement-

The mission of the Family Access Center is to support individuals in overcoming life's challenges through empowerment, as we embrace preserving, restoring, and strengthening through quality services.

History- 

Since 2005 Family Access Center began working to meet community needs. Family Access Center began providing substance use and abuse services to address addiction and support recovery. Family Access Center began providing mental health psychotherapy services to further support individual, couple, and family well-being. In 2008, Family Access Center entered contracts with the Iowa Department of Human Services to provide child welfare services to families and their children. Services for Iowa Domestic Abuse Program were offered to help perpetrators of domestic violence as well as the Prime for Life drunk driving curriculum.

In 2019, a sober living home (Hope Street), was added to the portfolio to serve homeless individuals suffering from addiction.  In 2020, substance use treatment and cognitive-behavioral treatment were added to the continuum to treat federal offenders. 

To grow and further meet community needs, integration into one comprehensive organization, Family Access Center will occur throughout 2021. Dedicated to service delivery in the tri-state region of Iowa, Nebraska, and South Dakota, Family Access Center is committed to quality, evidence-based, culturally affirming services.
