University of Iowa Hospitals

University of Iowa Hospitals' Addiction and Recovery Collaborative is a hospital based addiction treatment program located in Iowa City.

I like their extended outpatient care, partial hospitalization and medication for addiction treatment.

Their comprehensive services stand out to me. As part of an academic medical center, the team blends medical, psychiatric, and therapeutic care to support lasting recovery for patients with even the most complex needs.

Integrated Addiction Care at Boyd Tower

The Addiction and Recovery Collaborative specializes in treating adults with substance use disorders alongside medical or mental health conditions.

A multidisciplinary team of physicians, nurses, counselors, social workers and occupational and recreational therapists works together to deliver coordinated, evidence based care.

Treatment includes individual, group and family therapy, medication management, relapse prevention and coping skills work.

Patients can step into the level of care that fits their life, from evening IOP sessions to partial hospital programming.

MAT Walk In Clinic

The program operates a dedicated MAT Outpatient Clinic and MAT Walk in Clinic, offering buprenorphine naloxone, naltrexone, acamprosate, varenicline and take home naloxone.

Specialty pathways also include an Opioid Addiction Clinic, a Professional Program for licensed professionals and OWI and nonlegal substance use evaluations.

Access, Location and Getting Started

Care is provided in person at 5 Boyd Tower on the University of Iowa Health Care campus in Iowa City, with the MAT clinic housed nearby in the John Pappajohn Pavilion.

The program accepts Iowa Medicaid, Medicare and most major insurance plans, with case managers available to help uninsured patients explore options.
