Insurance Coverage

Medicaid
Paying for rehab in Iowa can be done in multiple ways, including using Medicaid if you qualify. This can be helpful for those struggling to pay for treatment. Look for centers that accept Medicaid and offer the levels of care you need, such as detox, inpatient, and outpatient treatment.
Private insurance
In Iowa, using private insurance is a good way to pay for rehab. Insurance plans vary, so it’s important to contact the insurer for details. The best way to keep costs down is to choose a treatment center in your plan’s network.
Self-pay options
Self-pay for rehab in Iowa means using your own money or a bank loan to pay for treatment. You can send money to a center electronically, write a check, or take out a medical loan.
Financial aid
Those wondering how to pay for rehab in Iowa may benefit from looking for financial aid programs. Financial aid directly from the treatment center is one option, or you might be able to find grants or scholarships from community groups or local non-profits.
Sliding scale payment assistance
Finding a rehab in Iowa with a sliding scale payment plan can help make treatment more affordable. With a sliding scale, you’ll pay less depending on your income and family size. This makes it much less stressful to get the care you need.
Medicare
In Iowa, using Medicare to pay for rehab can allow you to get the care you need. Your insurance plan can pay for some or all of the costs of rehab, especially if you choose a center that’s in the Medicare plan’s network. Be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.
Military insurance
If you have military insurance in Iowa, you can use your coverage to help pay for rehab treatment. Contact your insurer to find out coverage details and to learn what out-of-pocket costs to expect, such as deductibles and copays.

Therapies

Cognitive Behavior Therapy
When you’re struggling with addiction in Iowa, your actions and thoughts may not be rational. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) can help you challenge your thoughts and adjust your actions accordingly. CBT can help you identify and challenge maladaptive thoughts, calm your mind, and face your fears rationally.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy
When you’re struggling with addiction in Iowa, stressful situations can be a trigger. Dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) allows you to learn new coping strategies and build your confidence so you can make healthier decisions. DBT can help you replace problem behaviors with skills that give you a healthier way to manage stress and handle substance use triggers.
Family Therapy
Family counseling is available to address the impact of substance use and problem gambling on loved ones, supporting whole-family healing at the H Lee Gendler Center in Council Bluffs.
Group Therapy
Group counseling sessions support adolescents and adults working through substance use and gambling-related issues, offered as part of outpatient services at the Council Bluffs center.
Individual Therapy
Heartland Family Service H Lee Gendler Center provides one-on-one counseling for clients addressing substance use and co-occurring mental health concerns at its Council Bluffs, Iowa outpatient location.
Trauma Therapy
Sometimes addiction is a way to self-medicate and avoid how you feel about past traumatic events. Trauma-informed therapy can help you address these feelings and build a better life. Substance use and trauma are interrelated, and trauma-informed therapy involves working with the therapist and your support network to create healthy coping skills, become empowered, and improve resilience.
