Alcohol and Drug Dependency Services – ADDS

Alcoholism

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 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 Addiction

Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.

Substance Abuse

In Iowa, substance abuse treatment is available at drug and alcohol rehabs. With various levels of care, you can typically find an outpatient, inpatient, and partial hospitalization program suited to your needs. Treatment involves evidence-based therapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and trauma-focused therapy to address unhelpful coping strategies and provide healthier coping skills. With a focus on individualized treatment plans and recovery support, these programs aim to assist individuals in achieving sustainable sobriety and improved overall well-being.

Outpatient

Outpatient rehab programs are designed to support clients who are exiting inpatient treatment and for those who prefer to remain in their own homes during active recovery. Clients in outpatient care typically integrate treatment into their ordinary daily routine, including work and school schedules. Evening, night, and weekend therapy sessions, recovery training courses, and other outpatient services are widely available to accommodate clients’ needs. Many outpatient rehabs also offer medication assisted treatment (MAT), including medication induction and maintenance.

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).

12-Step

Many rehabs base their treatment models on 12 step programs, which are often considered a gold standard in addiction recovery. 12 step recovery prioritizes participants’ spiritual development as a means to heal the emotional and psychological wounds that have contributed to the addiction. Participants engage in regular, peer-led group meetings, which are free, anonymous, and accessible 24 hours per day, 365 days a year in most communities. Though these programs are spiritually-grounded, religious affiliation isn’t required.

Aftercare Support

ADDS recovery management program is provided for any client who has completed a treatment program. This program is held 1 time every week. The objective of the program is to assist clients to maintain sobriety and be able to share any concerns, problems and solutions. Regarding discharge, ADDS utilizes criteria set forth by the ASAM. Based on ASAM 6 Dimensions and criteria, you and your counselor will determine discharge criteria and appropriateness of referrals. Discharge criteria and referral are not simply determined by your counselor as your ideas, concerns, strengths, and needs are invaluable to this process. Recovery Support Services (RSS) offers a broad array of client-selected provider or community-based supports and services intended to enhance and further the client’s recovery journey.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

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.

Couples Therapy

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.

Family Therapy

Addiction causes stress on the family which can lead to many family problems. ADDS recognizes that family and concerned other involvement in your treatment program will increase the likelihood that you get into long-term recovery. Your counselor will also assist you in finding how best to involve supportive persons of your recovery into your treatment program. Getting a loved one into care and finding support services for your family or support system are the next steps toward recovery.

Group Therapy

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.

Individual Therapy

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.

Life Skills

Life skills trainings involve all the skills a person must have in order to function successfully in the world. These include time management, career guidance, money management, and effective communication. Truly successful addiction recovery is based on the ability to not only live substance-free, but to thrive. Life skills teaches the practical necessities of functioning in society, which sets clients up for success in life, and therefore sobriety.

Nicotine Replacement Therapy

Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) is a way of getting nicotine into the bloodstream without smoking. It uses products that supply low doses of nicotine to help people stop smoking. The goal of therapy is to cut down on cravings for nicotine and ease the symptoms of nicotine withdrawal.
