About Northeast Iowa Mental Health
Northeast Iowa Behavioral Health has an outpatient clinic in Oelwein, Iowa. They’re accredited by the state for behavioral health and addiction treatment with programs for all ages. Their programs are designed in such a way that they can help you find your path to recovery regardless of past recovery experiences.
Something that strikes me about their program is that they put a lot of control in your hands. You develop your goals. Even the number of sessions you have is flexible, ensuring you get to spend as much time with your counselor as you feel necessary.
Supporting You in the Community
What I like about the support you get from Northeast Iowa Behavioral Health is that it extends beyond the office. The focus of their community support is to prevent hospitalization and promote independent living in your own home. By helping you maintain your lifestyle, they're really allowing you to focus more of your time and energy on recovery.
This can also include healing to local attractions to cope with stress rather than falling back on drugs or alcohol. Orville Christophel Park is two blocks away and Depot Park is a bit farther. You can stretch your legs and unwind.
Counseling for Crisis Situations
One program I value most in a treatment facility is crisis response. If you can reliably get help when a crisis hits, you can avoid undue hardship and more easily stick to your recovery plan. That's what this facility's crisis response is about. It's available by phone. When you reach out, you'll get a fast response to assess your needs and refer you to additional services if needed.
I think everyone in recovery should have as many supports in place as possible, and a crisis response line is one of the most direct you can have.
Certified OWI Evaluations Available
I think it's also worth noting that Northeast Iowa Behavioral Health can help you get your license back if it's been suspended by the court or the DMV. Their class runs 12 hours total and is an intensive education about the dangers of driving while intoxicated that can meet legal requirements to have your license reinstated. There are multiple classes each month to make it easier to attend.
There are a lot of ways to pay for services at this clinic. These include private insurance, Medicaid, and Medicare. There's also a sliding fee scale for those who qualify. Additional funding may be available as well.
