The agency now known as Quest Recovery and Prevention
Services has been helping people recover from alcohol and drug
addiction since 1969. It was a time when alcoholism was just
being recognized as a disease by the federal government and
many professional medical associations. Alcohol abuse and drug
abuse were considered two separate problems at the time. For
this reason, Quest started as two separate agencies, one
serving people with alcohol problems, the other serving people
with drug problems.
The two agencies combined in 1983 under the name of Alcohol
and Drug Addiction Services (ADA), offering men’s residential
treatment, outpatient treatment and methadone maintenance. In
1989, the agency changed its name to Quest Recovery Services.
In 2004 , we added Prevention Services to our name to reflect
our extensive prevention programming work with schools and the
community. Today we are known as Quest Recovery and Prevention
Services.
