About UnityPoint Health – AbbeHealth Services – Abbe Center for Community Mental Health – Cedar Rapids

Medical briefcase icon Levels of Care

outpatient iconOutpatient

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.

inpatient iconInpatient

24-hour icon24-Hour Clinical Care

In the addiction treatment process, detox is typically the initial stage of recovery, and it involves 24-hour clinical care in Iowa. During this process, you receive constant medical supervision as harmful substances are purged from your body. Medical staff may prescribe medications to treat withdrawal symptoms and allow you to safely and comfortably break free from physical dependence on the substance.

intensive-outpatient iconIntensive 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).

Heart icon Treatment

check iconDual Diagnosis

Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.

mental-health iconMental Health

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.

Hand holding medical sign icon Clinical Services

inpatient-file iconCognitive Behavioral Therapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.

couples-therapy iconCouples Therapy

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.

dialectical iconDialectical Behavior Therapy

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a modified form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a treatment designed to help people understand and ultimately affect the relationship between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. DBT is often used for individuals who struggle with self-harm behaviors, such as self-mutilation (cutting) and suicidal thoughts, urges, or attempts. It has been proven clinically effective for those who struggle with out-of-control emotions and mental health illnesses like Borderline Personality Disorder.

family iconFamily Therapy

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.

intervention iconGroup 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.

mental-health iconIndividual 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.

Nutrition Therapy

Nutrition therapy, aka medical nutrition therapy (MNT), is a way of treating physical, emotional, and medical conditions through diet. Specific dietary plans are designed by professional nutritionists or registered dietitians, and patients follow them in order to positively affect their physical and mental health.

house-medical iconTrauma Therapy

Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.

The facilities are good and the medical staff is very good too. My biggest problem is the clerks, they seem very bitter as if their work does not like them.

A little sad that none of the therapists accept my insurance, but I was able to get into see someone for medication management. I like that they have support groups daily and that it s open to the public.

My insurance wont cover one of my meds with out papers from the doctor. I believe they was sent in March. And here we are into May I have called multiple times the pharmacy has called them. But nope nothingSo I have been off it I haven't slept more then a few hours at a time. I have had several nights where I don't sleep at all. Seems like getting medications to the patients are not a priority. But yet I was 5 minutes late and they took my appointment away and I was having a hard time and needed it. But they decided to give it to someone else. One person was already on the bus and almost there then the send a text cancelling their appointment. And then to see a provider they told her she would have to start the process over and do a walk in saying she didn't call to reschedule and canceled with out notice when she litteraly still has the text on her phone showing they canceled. So I am on disability and on a fixed income. Everything has gone up but I have to go use my money to buy this medicine when insurance will if she would have did the paper work. I really don't know if it is that they really don't know what they are doing or they are just being mean and playing games with people. For those who want to file a complaint please contact the Iowa Department Of Inspections and Appeals. Every single patient has the right to be treated fairly and with respect and to have their needs met to the best of their ability. Not filling out papers not calling in med refills is a violation of your rights and it is their job. You there are way to many reviews that are 1 star that is not something to be proud of. How many people have they put in the hospital? How many have took their life because of not getting the help they needed? So please file a complaint with that agency and maybe something can change.

This place is pointless and useless. You allowed someone that was seeking help to attempt suicide in front of your staff and when another employee tried to intervene you stop them and tell them don't touch her but call the police after she passed out. Why are you open what's the purpose of funding and keeping a place like this open. Most of you are there to get a check and can care less about humanity.

I would rather deal with my mental health issues on my own than continue to go here. Amy was incredible. Now that she s moved, nothing here is worth anything. I felt like an irresponsible, hopeless criminal walking out of here today. And I m anything but. Good luck getting any prescriptions you need. Seems as though they re more worried about anything except actually helping their patients. I have ADD and was told I m irresponsible that I can t remember to do things. The new provider interrupted my answer to almost every question I was asked. If I m having a hard time remembering something that annoys a mental health provider to the extent she clearly today, maybe I have something undiagnosed. Which is their job to find out. Instead, I was met with obvious annoyance and exasperation by the provider. It took absolutely forever to do anything and in the end, it was a complete waste of time and money. It also takes forever to get prescriptions that are extremely necessary. I was treated pretty bad for forgetting to take my meds, yet them taking absolutely forever to send a refill is just fine? Hate this place and I am going to take a mental health hit just to not have to go here anymore. What a joke. And not a funny one. I feel worse about myself just having stepped in. This is a completely backwards way to help people who need compassionate and understanding providers. This place is anything but that. I ll be finding somewhere else, even if I have to commute. And if I don t find somewhere else, so be it. I m still not going back. The nurse was nice today. That was it. I m going to try to forget this place even exists and try to feel less dehumanized from even stepping foot here. Awful. Inexcusable. Disappointing. If you want to truly help your mental health, this is NOT the place. They make it worse. Im so sad this place exists because there s no question that they worsen issues instead of help and for those with really bad issues, I honestly cannot imagine how they must feel leaving here. There needs to be an audit done on this place sooner rather than later. I can t imagine they d still be allowed to practice.

I ve been out of my medication for days. No one answers the phones and messages are relayed off site then sent to them in bulk. It s impossible to get ahold of anyone. I had to go down there to speak with them about my medication and the nurse that came out was very rude and short with me. She said she d call me back today about it and she never did. I have to go down there again today after work to probably be told the same thing. I m fuming mad but they don t care about patients we re all just a number to them. I wish I had better insurance so I could go elsewhere.
