About Central Iowa Psychological Services Ankeny

Central Iowa Psychological Services was a mental health treatment center located in Ankeny, Iowa. They offered treatment for people with substance use disorder (SUD)and other mental health conditions. They are closed now.

They provided both inpatient and outpatient services to people of all ages in the greater Des Moines area. They also had an office in Ames, Iowa.

How Therapy Worked

All clients were given a full intake assessment. The clinicians at this facility created custom plans for their clients. The clinicians aimed to get at the root of their client's addiction and mental health issues rather than treating them with medication.

I appreciate that they offered group and individual therapy. They had gender-specific groups as well as those geared toward veterans.

TMS Therapy

I liked that they offered Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS). It is a type of treatment that uses magnets to stimulate the brain.

A clinician places a piece of coil headwear on a person and magnetic pulses are delivered to various parts of the brain. It is primarily used to treat depression which is so often concurring with SUD.

Levels of Care

Outpatient Rehab

Outpatient rehab in Iowa is tailored to fit each person’s needs. It may last a few weeks or more than a year.... During that time, you will attend regular therapy sessions and receive support from a group such as AA or NA. This treatment will help you put strategies in place to prevent relapse and promote recovery.

Aftercare & Alumni Program

Once you’ve completed treatment, Iowa aftercare rehab helps you adapt to everyday life. It addresses issues ...and challenges associated with recovery. It offers practical support to help you maintain a sober lifestyle. This may continue as long as you need it, which for most people is at least one year after initial sobriety.
