About UnityPoint Health – AbbeHealth Services – Abbe Center for Community Mental Health – Vinton
Abbe Center for Community Mental Health – Vinton, part of UnityPoint Health is located in Vinton, Iowa. They provide outpatient treatment for mental health and substance abuse disorders for children, adolescents, adults and families.
Qualified Care Through Psychiatric Nurses and Counselors
Services are provided to you through behavioral health counselors, substance use counselors, licensed clinical social workers (LCSW) and psychiatric nurses for both inpatient and outpatient services. They offer therapy, counseling, education and medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to assist you in your treatment and recovery.
Initial treatment includes an evaluation and assessment of your addictions. Through screenings, they can determine your best level of treatment going forward. This may be outpatient or intensive outpatient care, either in a hospital or residential setting.
Outpatient services include MAT utilizing medications such as naltrexone and buprenorphine, depending on your addiction. They also provide individual therapy, couples and group therapy, depending on your needs.
Aftercare Programs Provide Continued Treatment
Following your treatment, you can attend continuing care services including counselor-led group sessions, peer support groups, individual therapy and MAT to continue your path to recovery. I find their aftercare support encouraging since depending on your needs, you may need additional support to get to a sustainable level of sobriety.
Payments are accepted through Medicaid/Medicare. They also offer a sliding fee scale and certain grant funding programs may also be available to you if you qualify.
Located in downtown Vinton, nearby attractions and resources include local parks and the Cedar River providing calming outdoor spaces to help you heal during your treatment and recovery.

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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
