About MercyOne Waterloo Horizons
MercyOne Horizons at Waterloo Medical Center provides comprehensive behavioral healthcare to teens, adolescents and adults in Waterloo, Iowa. Insurance, which includes Medicare, is accepted. The center is located near fast food, take out and dine in restaurants. What I like is that you can pick up food and enjoy it at Bontrager Park while you await your treatment. The park is conveniently located across the center.
The center itself is a full service, multi-speciality hospital with 366 beds. They provide acute, sub acute and outpatient healthcare. They have complete emergency services, they have a neonatal intensive care unit, cancer center, and a comprehensive behavioral healthcare program.
Their full service outpatient program is for adults who are 18 years of age and older. You’ll first undergo a diagnostic assessment. This helps their staff under your substance use history, mental health history and medical history. It helps to be as honest as possible as this will help determine the best level of care for you, as well as develop your treatment plan.
They have an array of substance use treatment programs. Medically managed detox is provided. FDA approved medications will be prescribed to help ease your withdrawal symptoms and cravings, therefore, allowing you to focus on your treatment and recovery.
Depending on your treatment plan, you may attend their intensive outpatient program (IOP) or their evening outpatient program (OP). You’ll be able to share and learn the necessary skills needed for recovery. Relapse prevention will also be a topic of discussion. This’ll help you learn to identify your triggers and how to overcome them.
Children and teens will also be able to be seen. They can come in and be treated for a variety of behavioral health issues. Your child can be seen for addiction, substance use, anger issues, anxiety disorder, and trauma and stress management.
