We are a community based, not-for-profit corporation offering services to address substance use disorders and other therapeutic needs. We began helping east central Illinois and other state residents as the Central East Alcoholism & Drug Council originally incorporated in 1972. We opened our first facility in 1973 and now operate 10 sites in our geographic area.
In 2020 we began using the name Hour House in recognition of the reality that recovery happens an "hour at a time". Our mission is to provide hope to individuals, families and our community through outstanding delivery of our substance use disorder services. Admissions may be arranged through contacting any of our facilities.

Services
Our History - CEAD (Central East Alcohol and Drug) Council was first incorporated in 1972, known at the time by the name Coles County Council on Alcoholism, and opened the first facility in 1973. At the time, the only services offered were Social Setting Detoxification and Residential Treatment.
The first satellite offices opened in Mattoon and Shelbyville, offering outpatient services that were more conveniently located to serve our rural community.Over the next decade, CEAD Council expanded even more by adding outpatient offices in Charleston as well as prevention services, women specific services, and an adolescent outpatient program.

My partner signed up to be accepted. They told her she couldn't go in without a detox. She did what was asked. They said they'd have a bed right when she got out. They lied. She got postponed 4 days. I then drove 3 hours to being her there. She disclosed her mental health issues, and everything else including her vegetarian diet. They waited till I was halfway home and every supervisor was gone to tell her that her intake was done incorrectly and that she couldn't stay. On top if serving her meat. I then came back and asked who was reimbursing me for my wasted time and fuel. They gave me a number

They're lucky they're getting one star from me . I do not recommend this place at all. If you're in a relationship this is not the place for you to go the staff you don't keep an eye on the clints very good at all. This is a co-ed facility do not recommend it at all. They need to be a little stricter on the clients here and have classes where it's females in one in males in the other. They they may just have more successful outcome and if they do it that way.

I hated working here. The supervisors are unprofessional. They yell at you in front of other staff and clients. They treat you like you are stupid. They talk in a condescending and demeaning tone of voice to staff and clients. They have had over 50 people quit working and one that I know of is pursing a lawsuit for a hostile work environment. Do not work here and don't send your loved ones here.

I was a patient here from 12/23/16 and left on my own on 1/16/17,due to some cruical differences I had with the way this facility was ran! Four days into my stay in detox,a nurse in the nurses station was discharging another female and gave her my wallet. My drivers license, me and my child's SS cards, a Debit card,a credit card, cash, and my medial card all was given away. I was forced to hand these personal things over when I was admitted into detox and nothing was ever done about it "Privacy Act" . I am still struggling to get the rest of my belongings from this facility! If you are struggling
