Addiction Treatment Programs

Drug Rehab
Facilities that offer drug rehab in Iowa can give you the skills and tools you need to break free from substance use disorder. The rehab program may use multiple approaches, including nutrition, psychology, holistic methods, and support groups. These tools help you build a substance-free lifestyle and move into long-term recovery.

Levels of Care

1
Outpatient Rehab
For those who are more medically stable or have finished an inpatient program, outpatient treatment in Iowa can be a useful form of rehab. During outpatient treatment, clients have independence outside of sessions, allowing them to work, attend school, and practice their new habits in real-world situations.
2
Aftercare Support
A key component of preventing relapse after treatment in Iowa is to have ongoing care, also known as aftercare. A strong aftercare program can include ongoing counseling, education and employment support, housing services, and connections to community resources.

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.
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.
