Mission
To improve the quality of the lives of individuals and families by teaching recovery skills, supporting healthy lifestyles and reawakening the spirit.
Quality through experience
Treatment and recovery can begin at Powell CDC. Since opening in 1973, Powell CDC has served over 30,000 patients and their family members. We know that sensitive issues surround the use of chemicals and privacy is important to recovery. We take pride in providing confidential services. Chemical dependency is a treatable illness.
Powell CDC, located on the Iowa Lutheran campus, is a safe and supportive setting where individuals can face their drug use and learn to make healthy choices. Powell CDC allows individuals to work with their families and significant others to rebuild lives impacted by the uncertainty, pain, loss, helplessness and fear created by drug abuse.
