JCAHO-accredited addiction treatment 24 hours 30 mins from Ames
Ames is a vibrant college city of roughly 66,000 in Story County, centered around Iowa State University and its world-class research programs in agriculture, engineering, and technology. Jack Trice Stadium, Reiman Gardens, and the energy of Campustown define the city's character. However, ISU's large student population also fuels a pervasive binge-drinking culture, and Story County sees some of Iowa's highest rates of alcohol-related incidents. Trust SoCal's JCAHO-accredited facility in Fountain Valley, California, provides Ames residents and students the physical distance from campus party culture needed to build a foundation for lasting recovery, roughly 1,710 miles away in Orange County's therapeutic coastal environment.

Ames is dominated by Iowa State University and its 30,000-plus students, creating a college-town culture where binge drinking and recreational drug use are deeply normalized. Story County sees elevated rates of alcohol-related arrests and emergency room visits during the academic year, and the Greek system's party culture is a persistent driver of dangerous drinking patterns. Young professionals working at ISU or in the city's growing biotech sector also face pressure to maintain social appearances, and stimulant misuse, particularly Adderall obtained without a prescription, is common among both students and professionals.
