Community and Family Resources

Community & Family Resources is a community based drug and alcohol treatment provider in Fort Dodge, Iowa that operates adult outpatient and residential with detox services. The organization offers a full continuum of care.

They also offer dual mental health services and evidence based therapies such as CBT and DBT as well as a dedicated gambling treatment program and recovery supports that extend well past discharge.

Dual Gambling and Substance Use

Community & Family Resources provide treatment for those affected by gambling through a Gambling Treatment Program which is a service many substance use providers in Iowa do not offer. Gambling Disorder many times overlaps with substance use.

A client does not need to receive help from different agencies if it is addressed within the same organization that handles substance use and dual mental health care. Most regional providers only focus on chemical dependency.

This makes CFR the only provider necessary for someone in the Fort Dodge area whose issue is to gamble while they also use substances. Most regional providers focus only on chemical dependency.

This is helpful for family members who seek help for a loved one whose primary issue is to gamble rather than to use substances.

Extended Residential Care

They provide extended residential treatment. This is a distinct level of care alongside standard residential which provides an option for clients who need longer than a typical short stay. The residential program provides 24 hour care.

Intensive outpatient programs allow clients to live at home and maintain work and family responsibilities while they receive treatment. The continuum continues after formal treatment ends.

CFR's Recovery Support Services are designed to help clients maintain recovery and build a healthy lifestyle and the organization also connects clients to recovery housing so the relationship with the provider does not simply terminate at discharge.

Community & Family Resources serves Fort Dodge and surrounding north central Iowa communities.
