About UCS Healthcare

The Iowa Department of Public Health (IDPH) funds UCS Healthcare, an outpatient addiction treatment center in West Des Moines, Iowa. I appreciate that substance use intake and assessment are walk-in.

The clinic offers psychiatric services, and LGBTQIA+ medical care is available on weekdays.

Paying Without Insurance

If you don't have insurance I noticed that a sliding fee scale is an option for some services. It doesn't cover every service. UCS Healthcare belongs to the IDPH Integrated Provider Network.

Priority for Pregnant Women

If you're pregnant, you get priority admission into medication assisted treatment at UCS Healthcare, with specialized services as part of that care.

The program uses more than one kind of medication for alcohol use disorder or opioid use disorder, and counseling is part of the treatment.

Group therapy also runs on Zoom, and each patient gets a password for those sessions. You don't have to drive to the clinic for a group that meets on Zoom.

The West Des Moines office is the main one, with free parking, and all UCS Healthcare services are available there.

UCS Healthcare is a nonprofit with 14 locations in Iowa, and it employs more than 100 professionals.

Addiction Treatment Programs

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.

Drug Rehab

Drug rehab in Iowa is available in many formats. A variety of inpatient and outpatient options provide programs tailored to individual needs. The aim of each is to help participants recover from drug addiction.

LGBTQ Friendly 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.

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.

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.

Detox & MAT

During detox in Iowa, your body is slowly and safely cleansed of all addictive substances. This is typically the first step of drug rehab in Iowa. It involves 24/7 professional supervision and may include medication to treat withdrawal.

Payment Options

Self-Pay Options

Paying for alcohol and drug rehab in Iowa via self-pay options means you're paying out-of-pocket. Examples of self-pay are personal checks, credit cards, personal loans, medical loans, and many more. Treatment fees largely depend on the level of care you need and the rehab's amenities.

Private Insurance

Private insurance can help make alcohol and drug rehab affordable. The extent of coverage will vary based on your rehab insurance policy and the treatment you choose. You may be required to pay some costs out of pocket, so.check with your insurer for detailed information.

Sliding Scale Payment

If you want to attend alcohol or drug rehab in Iowa, but cannot afford to pay the full amount, a sliding scale payment plan may be a viable option. Discount treatment fees are usually calculated according to adjusted gross income and other factors (like existing insurance coverage). To qualify, you must complete an application and provide supporting financial documentation.
