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.

medically-assisted-detox iconMedically Assisted Detox

Drug and alcohol addiction often takes a heavy toll on one's body. Over time, a physical dependence can develop, meaning the body physiologically needs the substance to function. Detox is the process of removing drugs and/or alcohol from the body, a process that can be lethal if mismanaged. Medical detox is done by licensed medical professionals who monitor vital signs and keep you safe, healthy, and as comfortable as possible as you go through detox and withdrawal.

intensive-outpatient iconIntensive Outpatient

Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) are for those who want or need a very structured treatment program but who also wish to live at home and continue with certain responsibilities (such as work or school). IOP substance abuse treatment programs vary in duration and intensity, and certain outpatient rehab centers will offer individualized treatment programs.

aftercare iconAftercare Support

Completing a drug or alcohol rehab program shouldn't spell the end of substance abuse treatment. Aftercare involves making a sustainable plan for recovery, including ongoing support. This can include sober living arrangements like halfway houses, career counseling, and setting a patient up with community programs like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA).

Heart icon Treatment

alcohol iconAlcoholism

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.

drugs iconDrug 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.

opium iconOpioid 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 iconSubstance Abuse

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.

Hand holding medical sign icon Clinical Services

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.

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.

Check icon Accreditations

The staff was very kind. However, they won't give you treatment for substance abuse recovery unless you fail a drug screening. They should be more human and give therapy and counseling to anyone before they suffer from withdrawal.

Went to this location on an initial visit and arrived early morning. Was told by the receptionist I had missed out on the morning appointments, to come back for the afternoon appointments. OK, so I go back very early in the afternoon (I was the first person there) and signed up to be seen. People were coming in after me scheduling to be seen. When patients began to be called back, I was passed by 3 times. I got up and asked about this and was told that the staff had to have a "huddle" . For what I don't understand.So now I get a notice that I owe them money for their services. What would happen if I went into a huddle?The service was unsatisfactory and unprofessional. In fact the reason why I went there was not addressed.

I blindly found Renea Kestel and this doctors office online prior to moving to Des Moines from out of state and I very much regret that decision but there weren t many other options for new patients. The office is VERY poorly operated and it is very difficult to get anyone on the phone, get messages through, or get anything done. I saw her for simple maintenance and ADHD meds that I ve been on for years. At my last check up to get more refills she acted as if everything was fine but did not send in the usual 3 months of refills. I ve spent hours calling the office to get the refills and was told last week that it was all set and I d be good for six months. Got another call today saying that I need to see a different provider for my refills with no explanation. She never mentioned this in my appt and didn t have the courtesy to even give me enough time to find another provider. Absolutely avoid her and this office at all costs. Huge and unnecessary stressor.

Will randomly make appointments without communication, it has taken a minimum of 45 minuets for me to ever get on the phone with the front desk office, any scheduled visit is at minimum 1 1/2 months out including just a minor consultation, bloodwork, medical history documents for work or even one shot. A nurse put the wrong allergies in my medical record history even after I told her that she was wrong, and she insisted she was right, then put that I was a social drinker when I made it clear that I have like one or two drinks every few years. My doctor is great, but way too many obstacles to get there.

Worked for this location and never wanted to work in healthcare ever again after 20 plus years! This place allows discrimination and hostile work environments in a living hell ( literally). They will protest your unemployment claims knowing they never fire anyone because you are forced to leave even after reporting to HR. Knowing there statistics of anyone receiving unemployment or staff needs are below an organization needs to operate. This place violates major law codes. Justice will be served for the people with good intentions after showing up to any PHC.

It's terrible. I made an appointment three months in advance. When I met the doctor today, I waited for half an hour at the front desk and was finally told that the doctor didn't show up today and the next appointment would be next month. What kind of professional ethics makes patients wait for three months and then be turned away? It's terrible. This place is a waste of time and life!

All the staff needs training on medical ethics 101.They'll mix-up patients names, infectious samples will get mixed-up. They'll pretend to auscultate for heart and breathe sounds over patient's/ child's clothing. They'll lie to you they've sent prescription to pharmacy.They'll give you a "Google diagnosis" before doing any tests. If you tell them you need a second opinion, they'll fabricate stories and call social services on you.They act like "ambulence chasers" bunch of providers looking to capitalize on patients wrongly perceived ignorance to rip off on health insurance money.Specifically avoid OBGYN, unless you want to deliver on the interstate/highway. Avoid pediatric care too, they'll fabricate stuff to denegrade on children's parents.Pathetic place to say the least.They need to be investigated for insurance fraud, malpractice and negligence.
