Oxford House Loess Hills

About the Facility

Oxford House Loess Hills is a non-profit house located in Council Bluff, IA. Oxford House Catalyst helps individuals struggling with mental health and substance abuse by providing a sober living environment. The Oxford House has a unique concept in recovery from drug and alcohol addiction. Each sober living home is democratically run, self-supporting and drug-free home.

The Oxford House Loess Hills believes in three things: self-help is the bedrock of recovery, disciplined democracy is key to living together, and self-support builds efficacy in order to avoid relapse.

A group of six or more recovering individuals is granted the right to call themselves an Oxford House and to use the Oxford House system, which has three basic conditions – democratically self-run, self-supported and expulsion of any resident who returns to using.

An individual may come into an Oxford House following a 28-day rehabilitation program or at least a 5 to 10-day detoxification program.

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.

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.

Sober Living Homes

The goal of a sober living home in Iowa is to provide individuals in recovery a bridge between rehab treatment and returning home. Each home has a set of rules that residents must abide by if they want to remain in the home. The top rule is sobriety. There is a zero-tolerance policy for drug and alcohol use. Other typical halfway house rules include attendance at 12-step meetings and helping with responsibilities around the house.

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.

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.
