Bicycle Health – Iowa - Des Moines, IA

About the Facility

Bicycle Health - Iowa is an online Medication Assisted Treatment Program. Bicycle Health - Iowa specializes in the treatment of opioid addiction, and substance abuse.

We are 100% online, so treatment is convenient and accessible from wherever you are, including the comfort of your own home. Our doctors prescribe Suboxone, which helps patients feel normal and healthy.

Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) is the use of medications along with counseling and therapy to treat substance abuse. MAT is mainly used to treat opioid addictions (i.e. heroin and/or prescription drugs like OxyContin or Vicodin). Medications like buprenorphine are used in MAT to help normalize brain chemistry, block the effects of alcohol and/or opioids, relieve cravings, and stabilize body functions, making sobriety easier to maintain. All medications used are approved by the FDA, and every MAT program is tailored to the patient’s specific needs.

Bicycle Health exists to treat all patients with opioid use disorder. Many people who have been taking opioids can become dependent on these substances, and opioids can start to take control of their life. They have cravings, think about opioids all the time, and are unable to fulfill their daily responsibilities, like going to work or taking care of friends and family. It becomes an “all consuming disease”.

We are committed to helping patients lead fulfilling and opioid-free lives, and we’ve already helped thousands of patients take their lives back from addiction. The Bicycle Health medical team believes that everyone deserves access to confidential, individualized, and non-judgmental care for opioid dependence.

Treatment

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.

Levels of Care

Medically Assisted Detox

If you’ve become physically dependent on drugs or alcohol, quitting suddenly can cause very dangerous side effects. During a medically assisted detox, licensed medical professionals will monitor your vitals around the clock and provide medications if necessary to ensure you’re as safe and comfortable as possible throughout this process.

Clinical Services

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.
