About Ottumwa Regional Health Center

Ottumwa, Iowa is known as the Video Game Capital of the World, but it’s also a place where many people come for addiction treatment and mental healthcare. Ottumwa Regional Health Center Behavioral Health provides services to adult men and women. Patients experiencing mental health crises, including withdrawal, can get help here in a safe, medically supervised environment.

Compassionate Addiction Treatment for Adults

The care team here at this 14 bed center has a lot of experience in addiction treatment. You’ll be cared for by doctors and other staff dedicated to helping you get emotionally stable so you’re ready for those first steps in recovery.

They specialize in treating mental health issues like depression and anxiety. Some patients come because they’re feeling overwhelmed and are worried about hurting themselves. All of this is common for a person dealing with a substance use disorder and you’ll be treated with dignity and respect.

Specialized Help for Withdrawal Symptoms

Whether detoxing from an opioid use disorder or struggling with alcohol, having a safe place to begin recovery is critical. I was relieved to know they have options for detox here that include round the clock monitoring by medical professionals.

Critical Emergency Care for SUD Issues

When you need immediate care during a crisis, it’s not always easy to find the right kind of help. This center offers a safe space and professionals who understand your unique needs and are dedicated to helping patients get through the crisis in a caring and non-judgmental way. I think it’s wonderful that the Ottumwa community has a resource designed to protect safety and life while helping patients figure out a healthy way.

Local Support for Families

When you have a family member in crisis, it’s hard to know where to turn. Ottumwa has a combination of faith based support and community services that many find helpful. And if you want to get a bite with your loved one, there’s the iconic Canteen Lunch in the Alley nearby, where you can grab a loose meat sandwich and a slice of pie.

If you prefer a quiet place, Ottumwa Regional Health Center Behavioral Health is a 15 minute walk from the Ottumwa Public Library. I’m impressed that a small town has an addiction treatment center right in the community.

Addiction Treatment Programs

Adult Program

Treatment at an adult program in Iowa is targeted for men and women over the age of 18. These recovery services focus on establishing healthy coping skills that allow individuals to stop abusing substances.

Alcoholism

The journey through alcohol rehab in Iowa typically involves four key phases. Treatment initiation is followed by early abstinence. Participants then learn how to maintain abstinence, and finally enter advanced recovery. These steps teach individuals how to develop and maintain a healthy, sober lifestyle.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Triggers can cause a person who is addicted to crave a substance and relapse. Cognitive behavioral therapy in Iowa teaches people how to manage these triggers in multiple ways that don’t involve turning to substances.

Men's Rehab

Men’s rehab in Iowa offers multiple levels of care. Treatment programs designed for men include inpatient, outpatient, partial hospitalization programs (PHP), intensive outpatient programs (IOP), detox, and sober living.

Opioid Treatment

Opioid rehab in Iowa is more comprehensive than many people imagine. This treatment addresses physical, mental, emotional, and relational issues that contribute to opioid abuse. Most successful programs offer comprehensive care that includes detox, behavioral therapy, medication assisted treatment, and aftercare support.

Women's Rehab

Women and men react differently biologically, emotionally, and socially to substance abuse and addiction. That’s why women’s rehab in Iowa provides treatment targeted to meet women’s needs.

Levels of Care

Inpatient Rehab

Also known as residential treatment, inpatient rehab in Iowa typically involves group and individual therapy, family therapy, medication management, and other therapy methods. Participants receive these treatments while living at the facility under 24/7 care.

Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)

Partial hospitalization programs (PHPs) in Iowa allow you to receive treatment while living at home and continuing to meet important personal and professional obligations. Less intensive than inpatient programs, PHPs require you to attend onsite addiction treatment for several hours multiple times per week.

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.

Dual Diagnosis & Mental Health

Iowa dual diagnosis treatment centers focus on treating both mental health and substance abuse disorders. Since these two conditions interact heavily, this dual program is crucial to meet the needs of those who have co-occurring disorders.
