About Community Family Resources – Fort Dodge

Community Family Resources is an organization in Fort Dodge, Iowa, that offers clients prevention and treatment services for substance abuse. Clients have the option of either participating in the outpatient or inpatient program. They also offer same day substance use evaluations on their listed days and times.

After the evaluation, clients will be referred to the level of care the staff deems appropriate for their health issues. Individuals should be prepared to spend at least 2.5 hours for their evaluation. For individuals whose second language is English, they have language translation services which include access to a live interpreter to help make the process go smoothly.

In the outpatient programs, patients will participate in counselor led therapy groups and learn recovery skills and relapse prevention. The counselor will also discuss other topics such as compulsive behaviors and thought-stopping exercises. A great thing about this location is they offer various services that are tailored to specific types of clients. These services include gender-specific programming, jail-based programming and services for those with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). When a client reaches the continuing care phase of their treatment, they’ll continue to be guided on relapse prevention skills to help them continue to avoid substance use.

Community Family Resources has two residential treatment programs for adults and adolescents. In the adult residential treatment program, clients participate in over 50 hours of programming every week with the staff members. Prior to this, an assessment is completed that will help them build motivation for recovery and identify their mental and emotional needs.

The adolescent residential program is similar with 50+ hours of program participation. Adolescent clients will spend 30 to 90 days at the facility where counselors will guide them on different topics such as learning recovery skills and building relationships.

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

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.

sober-living iconSober Living Homes

The goal of a sober living home in Iowa is to provide individuals in recovery a bridge between rehab treatment and returning home. Each home has a set of rules that residents must abide by if they want to remain in the home. The top rule is sobriety. There is a zero-tolerance policy for drug and alcohol use. Other typical halfway house rules include attendance at 12-step meetings and helping with responsibilities around the house.

heart-hands iconIntervention Services

Intervention services can help family members communicate effectively with each other and with the individual who is struggling with a substance use disorder. A professional interventionist addresses family dynamics that have worsened the situation or prevented the individual from seeking help. This expert can also help the family plan a drug intervention in Iowa. After the intervention, ongoing intervention services can help families in their own recovery, regardless of whether the individual chooses to enter treatment.

medically-assisted-detox iconMedically Assisted Detox

If you've become physically dependent on drugs or alcohol, quitting suddenly can cause very dangerous side effects. During a medically assisted detox, licensed medical professionals will monitor your vitals around the clock and provide medications if necessary to ensure you're as safe and comfortable as possible throughout this process.

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.

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.

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

mental-health iconIndividual Therapy

Individual therapy sessions offer you a personalized approach that involves an in depth exploration of your life experiences and patterns of substance use disorder. This helps your therapist identify harmful behaviors and thoughts and helps you recognize them so you have a deeper understanding of addiction and make positive changes in your life.

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.

recreational-therapy iconRecreational Therapy

Addiction recovery works best with recreational therapy activities that improve your physical health and provide emotional support. This holistic approach improves your overall physical and mental health, creates a sense of community, and helps reduce your cravings. Each of these factors is necessary to foster long term sobriety.

Horrible Food and clinic Hygiene. It's a disgusting Place to go I went for alcohol detox. They made me request my own meds and were on their phone playing games more than dealing with us sick and dieing addicts. I went willing to try to get help no legal stuff. Yet still got talked down to by nurse ratchets. Food should be illegal to serve of that low quality. Wouldn't feed it to my dog. Stay away from Fort Dodge CFR it's a garage dump

I left CFR in fort dodge feeling traumatized. I was court ordered by my family who was worried about my addiction and had to spend three weeks in a hospital prior to arriving to CFR which I eventually agreed to do in order to get my life back on track. My doctor asked me what my standards and expectations were out of treatment and I regrettably told him whatever place can get me in and out the fastest . If I could go back I would ve actually put together a list and thought it through. However, I had no standards, which landed me at CFR. Plenty of beds available, actually, most of the money I spent there was just myself and 3-5 other women. A few of which were absolute bullies. At all times, at least one of the girls were actively making fun of a specific easy target. Not once did staff try to put a stop to this. I don t know why.Staff-When you walk in youll likely walk in during the middle of a class because classes go all day long. Like 6am to 830pm you are listening to one of the staff members reading straight from a book or you re having the same conversation on repeat. Anyway, when you walk in and class is going on, do not expect to be welcomed or introduced. Expect staff to go on like you don t exist. First they have to strip in the bathroom and shake your bra and make sure you don t have electronics or vapes on you. After I showered, they put me in a 3xl shirt and pants. I m a size small. The clothes had to be held and tied by me until they finally gave me my clothes back. I met everyone for the first time with wet hair, oversized hospital clothes, no shoes and had to walk into the middle of a group discussion like that. Again, no one asked my name, introduced me or acknowledged me. I can t remember the staff members name but she was the one with the overdone lip injections and broken high heels. While some of the staff was enjoyable, I found that they would write reports after every interaction with clients and often times things were taken out of context. For instance, I once asked a general question of what happens when people leave and they re court ordered out of pure curiously, and was later pulled into a counselors office to ask if I m wanting yo leave and if I was thinking about running. And was told if I didn t like CFR I could just leave and it wouldn t hurt the lip injection lady s feelings but that if I did do that I would just have to re start my 30 days. When I was already 3 weeks in. That made me feel like giving up. I felt like I had been putting in work and trying for absolutely nothing and like they didn t want me there or have my best interest.

CFR ( Community and Family Resources ) is not a good program. From the dates 01/07/2021-01/29/2021. I resided here under a court order for program completion. The staff I would come to say are horrible, because of the way clients were treating each other. I had the audacity once to actually run nd when I refused to come back I slammed in the lobby by a police officer. My last in that program a girl continued to vulgarly call me names nd yell in my face in the facility recreation room. Nd so I handled it. Staff did nothing but call 911. Yes I got out of there but that place treated nb. Tbh. Under Rebecca S and Lisa B who wrote my discharge report. Director/Counselor.

Don't expect too much from this facility. They do the bare minimum to get you through the programs. It's definitely about the money and the revenue produced through numbers. It's basically up to you to notify the court systems of your completion, because they drag their feet on this subject.
