About Project Rehab

History

In the late '60s, drug and alcohol abuse was not something treated by our culture as a behavioral health problem, as it is today. A stigma was attached to those who suffered from substance abuse. When local psychologist Dr. Bill Kooistra received a call from a minister who needed help for a heroin addict, little help was available. The community was in need of a service to "street addicts." Dr. Kooistra partnered with physician, Dr. Chet Maternowski to help prescribe medication and treat patients. This collaboration resulted in the formation of Project Rehab in March 1968.

Project Rehab now features 14 program areas that serve adult men and women at our ten facilities. Our team of dedicated clinicians serves over 5,000 clients each year.
