Area Substance Abuse Council - Kinghouse

Recovery-Focused Living for Men

Area Substance Abuse Council’s Kinghouse offers 24-hour residential treatment for men 18 and older in Clinton, Iowa. The home-like, tobacco-free environment provides a safe and structured setting for residents to focus on sobriety, stability, and community. As part of ASAC’s nonprofit network, Kinghouse centers its approach on accountability and connection, helping residents rebuild confidence through self-paced recovery and peer support.

Evidence-Based Treatment and Skill Building

Treatment integrates group and individual counseling with daily living skills and recovery education. Residents participate in sessions on stress management, decision-making, and communication, while learning practical skills for independent living. The program supports clients using prescribed medications for addiction treatment (MAT) and aligns with harm reduction principles. Education on topics like health, HIV, hepatitis, and tobacco cessation is also provided to support overall wellness.

Support Beyond Treatment

Kinghouse connects clinical care with practical recovery services to help residents reestablish stability in daily life. Case management, housing assistance, and employment counseling are key program features, addressing real-world barriers that often affect recovery. Transportation support ensures access to medical and community appointments, and discharge planning includes overdose prevention education, naloxone resources, and coordinated aftercare to sustain progress after treatment.

Community-Based and Accessible Care

Serving adult men from across Iowa, Kinghouse welcomes individuals with co-occurring conditions, justice involvement, trauma histories, or pain-related challenges. As part of ASAC’s larger network, the program also links residents to community prevention and problem gambling services. The environment remains phone- and vape-free to maintain focus on recovery, fostering a grounded and supportive space where residents can develop lasting independence and stability.
