The staff is composed of self-righteous, obsessed with control and know-nothing about addiction. Yeah, they saved my life but the assignments were many and hard, and sharing them was dreadful.
About the Facility
MercyOne Horizons is a drug and alcohol rehab and medical facility located in Waterloo, IA. They provide inpatient and outpatient addiction treatment and mental health care.
This facility offers medical detox, inpatient addiction treatment, an intensive outpatient program, and co-occurring disorder treatment.
This program is highly structured and provides 24-hour medical care. Treatment begins with a comprehensive evaluation and medical detox where individuals are treated with FDA-approved medications to reduce withdrawal symptoms.
There are intensive outpatient programs that meet during the day or in the evenings. These structured groups and activities help participants explore their addictive behaviors and their consequences. Specialized outpatient programs are available for people with co-occurring mental health issues like depression, anxiety, PTSD, and schizophrenia, and for individuals who have a history of relapse. The relapse support group focuses on identifying relapse warning signs, developing management strategies, and gaining education on the phases of relapse.
Treatment
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.
Dual Diagnosis
In Iowa, dual-diagnosis addiction treatment focuses on providing comprehensive care for individuals with co-occurring mental health conditions and substance use disorders. Types of dual-diagnosis programs include residential drug and alcohol rehab and intensive outpatient options. You can expect the program to include individual and group counseling, evidence-based therapy (like dialectical behavioral therapy), and skills training to enhance your coping skills. By the end of treatment you will have the resources and supportive recovery community to sustain long-term mental health and sobriety.
Mental Health and Substance Abuse
In Iowa, dual-diagnosis rehabs specialize in providing comprehensive care for individuals facing both mental health and substance abuse challenges. By integrating mental health and substance abuse treatment with your individual needs, clinicians and medical experts can create personalized and effective treatment plans. These treatments usually incorporate evidence-based therapies, counseling, process groups, skills training, and family therapy. You can typically expect discharge planning and alumni programs which help to support long-term recovery by preventing relapse and providing on-going support post-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.

Levels of Care
Medically Assisted Detox
If youāve 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 youāre as safe and comfortable as possible throughout this process.
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).
Inpatient
Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.
Aftercare Support
Completing a drug or alcohol rehab program shouldn't spell the end of substance abuse treatment. Aftercare involves making a sustainable plan for recovery, including ongoing support. This can include sober living arrangements like halfway houses, career counseling, and setting a patient up with community programs like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA).
Clinical Services
Family Therapy
At Horizons, they know family involvement is crucial for long-term recovery. Family members have been affected by the patientās illness and need to be involved in the treatment. Without this healing of the family, there may be little support for the recovering patient, a factor critical for long-term success. Horizons involves the family through family education and awareness. Families learn about the illness of their loved one and are invited to attend segments of the treatment process with the patient. Sessions are held for family members and concerned parties that include education about chemical dependency and insights from recovering individuals.
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.
