If you’re struggling with drug or alcohol addiction you can start your recovery with the ASAC - Area Substance Abuse Council. Their main office is in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. This office can connect you with any of their more than a dozen rehabs in the area.

No matter who you are or what your needs are, they probably have a program for you with ASAC. There are programs for adults and programs for youth. There are programs for pregnant women and for moms who want to get treatment without being separated from their kids. There are LGBTQIA+ programs that help people in the community feel safe and welcomed while addressing specialized needs.

It goes beyond treatments for special circumstances and groups though. The ASAC network also offers rehab at every level of care. You can go to their residential rehabs if you need stability in your recovery and intensive treatment. There’s outpatient treatment too if and when you’re more stable in your sobriety and aren’t at a high risk for relapse.

All of this is why the Cedar Rapids office is the place to start. They’ll be able to talk through your options and help you choose the best place to get the help you need. Some clients do have frustrations about lack of communication at times but this can vary based on which ASAC center you go to.

Ok 1st off I wish I could give them more stars. Its an amazing environment where you are surrounded with people who actually care. You go there at the worst moments of life and the counselors and staff dont judge you ever! The food, the atmosphere, the knowledge you get! 10/10 Kelly, Lindsey, Steve, Kalighe Top teir baby! Anyone who ranks a low star probably got kicked out for doing something they weren't suppose to be doing, aren't ready for the help they have to give and want to be Iowa's undesirables forever. (Sorry thats on you)I will 100% forever sing their praises and recommend people who need help to ASAC.

Terrible communication. They withhold the necessary treatment documentation and don't return calls. A friend of mine will likely be sent to jail for a probation violation because they have not produced the documentation that proves he has done his treatment. We have attempted to contact them several times over the past few weeks, trying to get anyone on the phone who knows what they're doing and leaving several voicemails. He has no idea what else he can do besides be thrown in jail for not doing treatment THAT HE ALREADY FINISHED. WEEKS AGO. This administration is a joke and I hope nobody is relying on them to actually help turn their life around. Return your voicemails and do your job.

Other Forms of Payment

Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.

Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.

Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.

Sliding scale payments are based on a client's income and family size. The goal is to make treatment affordable to everyone. By taking these factors into account, addiction recovery care providers help ensure that your treatment does not become a financial burden to you or your family, eliminating one barrier to care.

Military members, veterans, and eligible dependents have access to specific insurance programs that help them get the care they need. TRICARE and VA insurance can help you access low cost or no cost addiction and mental health treatment. Programs that accept military insurance often have targeted treatment focused on the unique challenges military members, veterans, and their families face.

Per session payment lets you pay for each treatment at the time of service. You may also pay for a certain number of sessions up front and then pay for more if needed. This format allows you to tailor the financial investment to your specific needs and avoid having a large lump sum payment due at the end of the treatment program.

Financial aid can take many forms. Centers may have grants or scholarships available to clients who meet eligibility requirements. Programs that receive SAMHSA grants may have financial aid available for those who need treatment as well. Grants and scholarships can help you pai for treatment without having to repay.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

outpatient iconOutpatient
Outpatient treatment services are self-paced and patients participate for varying lengths of time based on individual needs and assessment recommendations. Group meetings are available at different times throughout the week. Several specialty groups are available to serve the needs of specific participants, and may include groups specific to age, gender, culture, drug of choice and other issues associated with a person’s substance use. Individual and family counseling sessions are provided as needed.
inpatient iconInpatient
Residential treatment utilizes an intensive curriculum in which patients delve into the affect their substance use disorder has had not just on their lives, but also on their family, friends, employer, and co-workers. Special group sessions are provided on topics such as stress management, decision making, communication, and anger management/anger replacement. Treatment is self-paced and lengths of stay are based on individual needs and progress of the patient.
aftercare iconAftercare Support
Rehab aftercare programs support clients' reintegration into their home, workplace, and community following inpatient and residential treatment. They also promote long-term recovery for clients who may no longer be receiving outpatient treatment. Rehab aftercare services encompass a wide range of modalities and often include various medical, mental health, and social service programs. Case managers and care teams develop clients' customized service plans based on the client's evolving needs and recovery goals.
12-step icon12-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.
sober-living iconSober Living Homes
Halfway House provides a supportive environment for patients to stabilize their lives, work or advance their education, seek housing, and transition back into society. Halfway house patients receive a minimum of 5 hours per week of substance abuse treatment programming and attend AA or NA support groups. This program is for recovering men and women who are either homeless or do not have a home to return to after primary residential that is suitable to their recovery. The average length of stay is 2 to 3 months.
heart-hands iconIntervention Services
Intervention services helps family or friends of addicts stage an intervention, which is a meeting in which loved ones share their concerns and attempt to get an addict into treatment. Professional intervention specialists can help loved ones organize, gather, and communicate with an addict. They can guide intervention participants in describing the damage the addict's behavior is causing and that outside help is necessary to address the addiction. The ideal outcome of an intervention is for the addict to go to rehab and get the help they need.
24-hour icon24-Hour Clinical Care
At certain points in the recovery process, it's important to have support available 24/7. 24-hour clinical care offers a safe environment in which to recover from drug or alcohol addiction in peace, knowing medical detox and other treatment will happen with professionals on hand.

Treatments

The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.

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.

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 rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.

Programs

teen-program thumbnail image
Teen Program
Teen programs are designed to address the unique pressures teens face, pressures that can drive them to experiment with dangerous, addictive substances. They need programs that meet them exactly where they are and give them tools for long-term recovery. Therapy can help teenagers understand and work through underlying issues so they can reclaim the life ahead of them.
adult-program thumbnail image
Adult Program
Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.
program-for-men thumbnail image
Program For Men
Men face specific challenges and concerns when seeking addiction treatment. Gender-specific recovery programs help them tackle these issues head-on in an environment that's focused, targeted, and distraction-free. It also gives them the opportunity to connect with and learn from other men who have been through a similar journey and can offer support for the next step.
program-for-women thumbnail image
Program For Women
Rehabs for women provide a safe, nurturing space for female clients to heal. These treatment programs consider the specific obstacles that women can face during recovery and place a special emphasis on mental, social, physical, and reproductive health. They explore how each woman's experience has shaped the trajectory of their substance use, addressing issues such as sexual abuse and past trauma.
young-adult-program thumbnail image
Young Adult Program
Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.
child-program thumbnail image
Child Program
The providers who specialize in the children's rehab space understand the specialized needs that this population faces. School-based and social services such as tutoring and family counseling are often central to treatment. Child programs may also address the needs of youth experiencing substance abuse in the home, including a parent's or sibling's addiction.
seniors-program thumbnail image
Seniors Program
Nearly one million adults age 65 and older live with a substance use disorder. Treatment providers who specialize in senior care understand the social, psychological, and physical effects of aging and how they relate to recovery. They can help clients address particular challenges and risks they may face as they get older such as overdosing and medication interactions and dependencies.
military-program thumbnail image
Military Program
Serving in the military is both mentally and physically challenging, and can result in trauma that persists even after combat ends. Military programs are tailored to the specific and often complex needs of active duty personnel, veterans, and military families. Clients often access these programs through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).

Clinical Services

During cognitive behavioral therapy in Iowa, you'll gain a better understanding of your thinking and motivations. Your therapist will then help you develop new patterns of thinking and behaving that allow you to cope with life's challenges without abusing substances.

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.

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.

During motivational interviewing in Iowa, the client and therapist collaborate to identify any discrepancies in the client's current situation and future goals. By asking open ended questions and using reflective listening skills, the therapist encourages the client to reach their own conclusions and make a commitment to any needed changes in their life.

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.

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.

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.

Very negative experience. I was mandated 6 meetings. One a week. They cancelled the meetings, with no notification, 4 consecutive times. I finished the 6 classes after them being postponed 4 WEEKS IN A ROW! Then, I was accused of not showing up to the meetings THEY cancelled. Went to talk to a supervisor, and she couldn t help. She said just do the whole 6 weeks again. I feel insulted, and highly regret choosing this organization for my treatment .
