MADAC’s mission is to provide alcohol and drug treatment, and prevention services to the Meskwaki Nation in order to promote the health and well-being of individuals, families, and community members. 

Vision:

The Meskwaki settlement’s adults, adolescents, children and families will have optimal physical and behavioral health; where behavioral health, substance abuse, dependency and addiction are recognized as health issues; and where stigma and other barriers to recovery are eliminated. We serve clients within the Meskwaki Contract Health Services delivery area.

• We believe in a holistic approach to restore harmony and unity to the individuals, families and communities that we serve.
• We believe in the highest level of care, while respecting cultural values.
• We believe in outreach and assessment of community needs; and advocacy for the provision of those needs.
