Alcohol and drug dependency and its consequences are leading causes of personal and family suffering and community problems resulting in major health and societal costs. Prairie Center Health Systems, Inc. exists to directly help those affected by this disease and to inform, educate, and train others on the major impact of this disease, if left untreated.

Our mission is to improve the quality of life and reduce the impact of alcoholism, chemical dependency and associated conditions by providing quality, comprehensive services to individual families and communities in east central Illinois.

All clients are treated with dignity and respect. In all circumstances, our professional staff offers hope in guiding clients toward change and improving the quality of their lives in recovery.
