The facilities are good and the medical staff is very good too. My biggest problem is the clerks, they seem very bitter as if their work does not like them.

Zero stars, let me repeat that for people in the back ZERO STARS!! This place is unbelievable for a mental health care facility. I am not the person that needed their services but I am the parent. I would take my kid, have to sit in the waiting room and listen to the receptionist being cold and rude to people. Then my kid did not at All in any way shape or form get any help, actually she got worse! I found other care for her and they are awesome with her. Also the new place I took her to looked on her mychart and there was no care plan for her, DID YOU HEAR ME? NO CARE PLAN! You disgust me and should be shut down. Shame on you calling yourself a mental health care facility. On a side not if you need blood work for your medicine, good luck getting an order sent to a lab. Absolutely unacceptable!

They use to be helpful but since they've made new restrictions on appt. times, etc., it's rather stressful and it's not made very clear to the patients about what's all going on and the reasons for the changes

Absolute nightmare. Malpractice, using rhetoric like "there are places for problem patients like you... I decide when you leave." This in response to me simply saying, " I think you misdiagnosed me. That could be why the medication is hurting not helping me. I don't have ADD / ADHD, why are you prescribing me Adderall?"
Threats to remove me and place me in a place in Independence to cover his malpractice? Is this something that would typically result in a loss of license? Asking for everyone of your patients to protect their safety.
This doctor took cash only and made sure to schedule me between appointment times and made a show of putting the 4 $20 in his pocket each time he provided 2 minutes of stuffing samples and other meds in a plastic bag to: "do us a favor and save some money."
Never a reconsideration of his "expert understanding" just hours late and enabled my dad to come back to my appointments and answer or challenge my answers to diagnosis questions about my mental health creating a toxic insane environment. He contends that my dad has priority and authority over my understanding of my brain health because "he is paying for it after all."
This cost me my future. Suicidal, unnecessary suffering, humiliation, disease progression, zero chance to finish college, taken off of hardcore meds abruptly and having serious withdrawals, and then giving me pieces of paper with homeless shelter information because "your dad is enabling you and you aren't a good patient."
I was misdiagnosed. I was victimized by a doctor who almost got my killed and wasn't able to pursue malpractice because I am not rich, have a lawyer, and after he met without me with my dad during my appointment time for an hour I was told: You just want to make excuses and are a bad patient, you don't want to get better, we are done wasting money on you, figure it out your on your own..thanks dad.
What kind of human being does this and then when confronted over the phone by relatives denies that he ever prescribed Adderall in the first place? The bottle was ready to him verbatim. He hung up.
I was asked to pay for an appointment I didn't schedule. I show up with someone the doctor doesn't know. Doctor says ,"ok SM?" And then is told by this complete strangers I won't be seeing him again (no reasoning) your doctor says "ok."
The abuse at home was horrible. This was the greatest nightmare of my life and I will live with trauma I can't put into words until I die not to mention the consequences of your doctor's malpractice, misdiagnosis, schemes to hurt me and preserve his "practice", brain damage, loss of career, disability, functioning level, punitive, etc.
You employ evil because the system allows incompetent doctors to be protected in court systems and through patient advocacy that in my experience is the equivalent to: people are aware of this issue. Thanks.
I was told by many doctors and respected nurses at St. Luke's, Abbe, Associates for Behavioral Health, etc: we are failing our mental health patients. No confidence. Excellence in virtually all other types of treatment but we have the worst mental health in the country in terms of bed availability, 47/50 in psychiatrists, huge gap in stigma/shame vs public understanding. Unity point has employed this doctor for so long and he has failed so many people that he is notorious. Sick twisted sense of ego, entitlement, and abuse of authority to manipulate his own patient and create negative outcomes? I live to see how we resolve this. Can't wait to see this.

Accepted Insurance
Other Forms of Payment
Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.
Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.
Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.
Financial aid can take many forms. Centers may have grants or scholarships available to clients who meet eligibility requirements. Programs that receive SAMHSA grants may have financial aid available for those who need treatment as well. Grants and scholarships can help you pai for treatment without having to repay.
Medicare is a federal program that provides health insurance for those 65 and older. It also serves people under 65 with chronic and disabling health challenges. To use Medicare for addiction treatment you need to find a program that accepts Medicare and is in network with your plan. Out of pocket costs and preauthorization requirements vary, so always check with your provider.
Military members, veterans, and eligible dependents have access to specific insurance programs that help them get the care they need. TRICARE and VA insurance can help you access low cost or no cost addiction and mental health treatment. Programs that accept military insurance often have targeted treatment focused on the unique challenges military members, veterans, and their families face.
Sliding scale payments are based on a client's income and family size. The goal is to make treatment affordable to everyone. By taking these factors into account, addiction recovery care providers help ensure that your treatment does not become a financial burden to you or your family, eliminating one barrier to care.

Addiction Treatments
Levels of Care
Outpatient
Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.
Inpatient
Clients in inpatient rehab reside at the treatment facility for the duration of the program, which may range from two weeks to more than 18 months, depending on unique needs and the program's design. Inpatient treatment typically consists of extensive addiction counseling, which may include CBT, DBT, RBT, and motivational interviewing. Clients may also engage in recovery-focused life skills training and/or evidence-based complementary therapies, such as massage, meditation, and experiential therapy.
24-Hour Clinical Care
In the addiction treatment process, detox is typically the initial stage of recovery, and it involves 24-hour clinical care in Iowa. During this process, you receive constant medical supervision as harmful substances are purged from your body. Medical staff may prescribe medications to treat withdrawal symptoms and allow you to safely and comfortably break free from physical dependence on the substance.
Intensive Outpatient
Intensive outpatient programs (IOP) offer high-level care for clients in early recovery or who are at an increased risk of relapse. Clients may also enroll in an IOP immediately following detox, enabling them to continue to work and to live at home. Clients attend multiple outpatient treatment sessions for a minimum of nine hours per week. Many intensive outpatient rehabs provide a variety of services, including psychotherapy, recovery education, and medication assisted treatment (MAT).
Treatments
Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.
Mental health rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from mental illnesses like bipolar disorder, clinical depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, and more. Mental health professionals at these facilities are trained to understand and treat mental health issues, both in individual and group settings.
When an individual cannot control their alcohol use despite negative health, social, or occupational consequences, this is known as alcohol use disorder (AUD). They may experience physical withdrawal symptoms if they stop drinking. To successfully maintain sobriety, professional help is often necessary. Alcohol rehab in Iowa provides the crucial evidence-based therapies, support groups, and family involvement that make it possible to overcome alcohol addiction.
Drug rehab in Iowa is available in many formats. A variety of inpatient and outpatient options provide programs that are tailored to individual needs, making recovery possible for everyone.
Opioid AddictionPrograms
Adult Program
Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.
Young Adult Program
Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.
Clinical Services
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.
Whether a marriage or other committed relationship, an intimate partnership is one of the most important aspects of a person's life. Drug and alcohol addiction affects both members of a couple in deep and meaningful ways, as does rehab and recovery. Couples therapy and other couples-focused treatment programs are significant parts of exploring triggers of addiction, as well as learning how to build healthy patterns to support ongoing sobriety.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a modified form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a treatment designed to help people understand and ultimately affect the relationship between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. DBT is often used for individuals who struggle with self-harm behaviors, such as self-mutilation (cutting) and suicidal thoughts, urges, or attempts. It has been proven clinically effective for those who struggle with out-of-control emotions and mental health illnesses like Borderline Personality Disorder.
Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.
Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.
In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.
Nutrition therapy, aka medical nutrition therapy (MNT), is a way of treating physical, emotional, and medical conditions through diet. Specific dietary plans are designed by professional nutritionists or registered dietitians, and patients follow them in order to positively affect their physical and mental health.
Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.
