In 1996, Jolene Dalluhn and Debra Kamka met while working together at a local addiction treatment center. Both Dalluhn and Kamka are Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselors who received their master’s degrees in Counseling and Educational Psychology from the University of Nevada, Reno. They discovered a shared dedication and true passion to serve the community and, in December of 2002, decided to embark on opening a small treatment center in Reno. Just a month later in January of 2003, Quest Counseling and Consulting, Inc. opened its doors.
Dalluhn and Kamka are passionate about offering counseling to adolescents and their families who are struggling with delinquency, substance use, mental health problems, identity issues, and life transitions. They find joy in encouraging and helping teens stay on a positive path toward their future away from the problems created by substance use and addiction. This led to the decision of providing substance use prevention to youth in the community through education and prevention curriculums, while also creating opportunities for youth to engage in pro-social activities that help them feel good about themselves.
In 2005, Quest relocated to 3500 Lakeside Court. In 2006, Quest extended its offerings to the community with a high caliber of services to include adults with co-occurring disorders (substance use and mental health) and became certified by the State. Quest is conscientious to provide unique and separate treatment options for adolescents and adults.
Most recently, in September of 2023 Quest moved to its current location at 6110 Plumas St., Reno, NV, 89519. This move allowed Quest to move into a location that reflects the quality of service we provide. All programs and services are available at one location. Our current location also allows for program expansion and organizational growth.
Today, Quest is a cutting-edge treatment center with 40 highly trained, skilled, and compassionate staff who strive to accomplish the continued mission: to provide behavioral health services that exceed expectations. From its founders to its staff, Quest is grateful to be part of the treatment community and looks forward to continuing to expand the opportunities to help more people in the region.
