Helping Others

Helping Services believes that education plays an important part in getting individuals to make healthy choices about alcohol, tobacco, and drug use. These choices may mean quitting smoking, choosing not to drink, and not participating in illegal drug use. Prevention is the key.

Helping Services does not offer treatment services (we do promote Quitline Iowa to stop smoking). If you or a loved one are seeking assistance in breaking a drug addiction, please refer to our Resources page to locate an agency that focuses on treatment of drug addictions. Please refer to our list of services that we do offer the public.
