Critical Substance Use Disorder Treatment Services are Launched at All Care
All Care Health Center is proud to announce that it has recently been licensed by the Iowa Department of Health and Human Services to provide substance use disorder (SUD) treatment services. This milestone marks a significant step in expanding access to integrated healthcare for the community, offering comprehensive support to individuals facing drug and alcohol use challenges.
The foundation for this program was laid by the Behavioral Health Expansion Grant from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), but it was through the vision and leadership of Amanda McCormick, Behavioral Health Director at All Care Health Center, that it became a reality. Her dedication and expertise have been the driving force behind launching this essential service, ensuring that individuals struggling with substance use have access to high-quality, compassionate care.
“Our community needs more access to treatment options for substance use disorders, and we are proud to be part of the solution,” said McCormick.
All Care Health Center is pleased to welcome Jane Prine to the team, as an integral part of the SUD treatment program. Jane, a Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor, brings over two decades of experience in substance use disorder treatment and counseling, program leadership, and trauma-informed care, along with a passion for supporting individuals on their recovery journey.
“We are excited to welcome Jane Prine to our behavioral health team,” said McCormick. “Our goal in adding Jane’s talents is to help reduce the obstacles patients face when seeking treatment. It can be incredibly difficult to access care for substance use disorders, and delays are the last thing anyone should face when they’re ready for help. Jane’s expertise and dedication will enhance our ability to provide timely, compassionate, and integrated care, supporting our mission to meet the growing needs of our community.”
Jane brings a wealth of experience rooted in leadership roles, including Program Director and Director of Student Services at Uta Halee Academy and Assistant Program Director at Heartland Family Service. Her career reflects a profound commitment to addressing addiction, trauma, and behavioral health challenges. Her leadership has encompassed training law enforcement and community organizations, strategic program development, and advocacy for integrated care solutions. Jane’s extensive background includes facilitating substance abuse and family groups, overseeing therapeutic services, and managing comprehensive programs for vulnerable populations. Most recently, she served as a Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor at Rite of Passage – Uta Halee Academy, facilitating critical therapy groups and supporting program operations.
Dr. Glenn Hurst, who joined All Care in December, will play an additional key role in expanding All Care’s behavioral health services through the substance use disorder program. He will provide Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) to patients with opioid addiction. With a profound dedication to family medicine, these services are just part of Dr. Hurst’s extensive background to All Care in areas such as weight loss, women’s healthcare, aging and geriatric health, rural healthcare, and various in-office procedures.
With All Care’s new licensure and the unwavering commitment of our provider teams to patient-centered care, All Care Health Center is better equipped to address the growing need for substance use disorder treatment in Council Bluffs and surrounding areas. The program will offer a range of services, including individual therapy, group counseling, MAT, case management, and peer recovery support. By providing a fully integrated continuum of care, All Care aims to break down barriers to treatment and help patients achieve long-term recovery.
“This is a crucial addition to the services we provide at All Care,” said Joel Dougherty, Chief Executive Officer of All Care Health Center. “By integrating substance use disorder treatment with our existing medical, behavioral health, and dental services, we are strengthening whole-person care and increasing the opportunities for recovery and wellness within our community.”
McCormick stresses that the team at All Care is ready to support questions for problems related to alcohol or drugs, “We won’t judge; we’ll listen and give you the help you need.”
