About Dean & Associates
Dean & Associates is an outpatient mental health clinic for clients of all ages in Sioux City, Iowa. They’re in the southeastern area of the city, just across the street from the Southern Hills Mall near I-29 and US 20/75 so they’re convenient and easy to access.
This outpatient clinic treats nearly any mental health condition including substance use disorder. They mostly use individual therapy here rather than group therapy. In your therapy sessions you’ll work one on one with a specialist who can help you understand your addiction and work through the challenges of recovery and the issues that fueled your addiction. They can help with alcohol addiction as well as drug addiction.
For a lot of people their relationships with family and loved ones is a powerful part of their recovery and this treatment center can help you build that support system too. They offer therapy for couples and families. This will not only help your loved ones better understand your condition but it will strengthen your relationships too.
There are a few things about this clinic that I think are especially helpful to note. First of all they can be a great option for dual diagnosis care since they treat not only substance abuse but other mental health conditions too. Second they treat adults as well as kids and adolescents so if you have a child who’s showing signs of addiction they can help to address the issue early. They even have specialized geriatric mental health care. Finally they have a sliding fee scale which means that you pay what you can afford and they won’t turn away any patient for being unable to pay.
Overall the clients have positive feedback about this clinic. They say that the therapists are helpful and knowledgeable. I did notice some clients saying that the front desk staff isn’t very friendly though.

I just have to give a huge shoutout to Dawn, the pharmacy tech who always goes above and beyond! She is absolutely amazing — incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, and always ready to lend a hand with a genuine smile that could brighten anyone’s day. Every time I stop by, she makes the experience so positive and effortless. You can truly tell she cares about every person who walks up to that counter.
Thank you, Dawn, for your kindness, professionalism, and that contagious positive energy — you make a real difference every single day!
I began using this provider now over 2 years. I began with a Dr. Patrick Chau whom was the most unprofessional provider I have had. He constantly judged other professionals if they hadn't had their doctorate degree. He stated, " you will take the medicine I prescribe or you can walk back out that door. " The two medications he prescribed I tried telling him they don't work this time he pointed at the door. We spoke of me having trouble falling asleep and staying asleep due to having PTSD. He recommended Melatonin. I just sat afraid to tell him that it had been tried and due to my GP and pharmacy telling me of a drug reaction I could experience not to take it. After a year I spoke with the office manager,Beth who referred me to Monica Nuckolls,PMHNP she has been wonderful. I also just started with an individual therapist that was recommended by Monica. On Oct 20,2025 spoke with office manager about the pharmacy, the pharmacy filled an old prescription that I don’t take. I specifically had told the pharmacy I would only consider the 3 medications that Monica Niuckolls prescribed. Secondly, I wanted to speak or set an appointment time to speak with Dr. Rodney Dean I was denied. I was told by office manager that there is a “chain of command.” Next, since I have had trouble with staff I should transfer to another facility. My response was I have a great working relationship with Monica and just started with individual therapist that perhaps she needed to speak with Dr. Dean or those that have caused the stress.
Compassionate Dr’s, providers and staff. Everyone is welcoming and make you feel like you matter. It’s a huge bonus to have a pharmacy right on-site too!

Addiction Treatments
Levels of Care
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.
Treatments
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.
Programs
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 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
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.
Creativity is inherently healing, and can help those in recovery express thoughts or feelings they might not otherwise be able to. Creative arts therapy can include music, poetry/writing, painting, sculpting, dance, theater, sandplay, and more. Unlike traditional art, the final product matters far less than the experience of creation and expression itself.
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.
Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a clinical approach to helping people with substance abuse issues and other conditions shift behavior in positive ways. It is more goal-oriented than traditional psychotherapy, as MI counselors directly attempt to get clients to consider making behavioral change (rather than wait for them to come to conclusions themselves). Its primary purpose is to resolve ambivalence and help clients become able to make healthy choices freely.
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive way of stimulating the brain in order to help with symptoms of depression. TMS uses elecromagnetic coils to deliver magnetic pulses to the brain, which can improve a patient's mood and ease depression. It's often used when other depression treatments haven't worked.
