About Waubonsie Mental Health Center

Waubonsie Mental Health Center (WMHC) provides outpatient behavioral health and substance use services in Red Oak, Iowa.

The Red Oak office offers substance use assessments, outpatient treatment, individual, couples and family therapy, and psychiatric medication management for adults and juveniles.

WMHC focuses on integrated, trauma-informed care designed to meet you where you are and support lasting recovery.

Flexible Substance Use Treatment

WMHC provides clinically managed outpatient substance use treatment guided by ASAM criteria with fewer than nine hours of weekly care for adults and fewer than six hours for juveniles.

I appreciate that the center also offers OWI evaluations and substance use assessments intended to meet Iowa Code Chapter 321J requirements, plus continuing care of at least one hour per month.

Treatment is grounded in a trauma-informed framework and draws on proven approaches like CBT, DBT and EMDR.

I also noted that sessions help address underlying concerns while supporting long-term stability with scheduling accommodations available for needs outside regular hours.

Integrated Care for Co-Occurring Concerns

Beyond addiction support WMHC addresses co-occurring mental health concerns including depression, anxiety and trauma.

Its integrated model pairs therapy and medication management with peer support, Community Support Services and Supported Community Living for people with serious mental illness.

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.

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.

Senior Drug & Alcohol Rehab

Recovery is possible for older adults, through elderly rehab in Iowa. Numerous facilities offer this specialized treatment that addresses addiction along with the unique concerns of the elderly.

Teen & Adolescent Program

A young adult program in Iowa specializes in addiction treatment for young people from their teen years through their late 20s. Some include adults up through age 32. Treatment focuses on recovery challenges that are specific to this stage of life.

EMDR Therapy

EMDR Therapy is a neurobiological treatment modality used to address trauma disorders and related mental and behavioral health challenges. Short for eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, EMDR is designed to help clients cope with distressing memories and emotions, including fear, sadness, and anger. EMDR may help clients in addiction recovery manage the psychological and emotional triggers that contribute to substance misuse and/or addiction relapse.

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.

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.

Payment Options

Payment Plans & Financing

For those who are underinsured or uninsured, paying the total cost of a rehab program up front is not feasible. Fortunately, many alcohol and drug rehabs make financing available to potential clients through private loans, in-house payment plans, or partner lenders. You can choose a finance package that lets you start treatment immediately and pay for it later.

Medicaid Accepted

If you’re struggling to pay for alcohol and drug rehab in Iowa, Medicaid can assist with the cost of all levels of care. In most cases, Medicaid will cover most or all of the total costs associated with drug or alcohol rehabilitation and treatment.

Medicare Accepted

Medicare is a federal health insurance program for those over 65 and for those with certain disabilities, and it can help with the cost of alcohol and drug rehab in Iowa. The amount of coverage will depend on many things, so it’s important to reach out to Medicare and get specific plan details.

TRICARE

Administered by the Department of Defense, TRICARE offers comprehensive military health insurance plans for active and retired military members and their families. Similar to PPO programs offered by private insurance companies, TRICARE covers multiple levels of care for addiction treatment, including detox, inpatient rehab, and outpatient services.

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.

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.

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.
