About YSS of North Iowa
Youth Shelter Services (YSS) is a mental health and addiction treatment center offering inpatient and outpatient drug rehab programs for youth (aged 12 to 18) in Mason City, Iowa. They provide addiction treatment programs, mental health therapy, sober living homes, mentoring, medication management, telehealth, and outpatient drug and alcohol rehab.
YSS Francis Lauer Youth Services supports adolescents with addiction and mental health related problems for youth by creating hope and opportunity. As one of Iowa’s oldest and largest youth serving nonprofits, YSS counseling helps adolescents overcome challenges through their evidence based treatments. The individualized program includes clinical assessments and treatment planning to meet the youth’s individual needs. Therapies are delivered individually, in groups, and as a family, and may include eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), multidimensional family therapy, parent child interaction therapy, trauma informed care, and systems training for emotional predictability and problem solving.
Conscious that recovery doesn’t end once treatment is complete - it is a lifelong journey, YAA provides lifetime aftercare support in which counselors support program participants to reintegrate into the community and continue their journey in recovery.
YSS is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF), United Way, and Variety, the Children’s charity in Iowa. They accept commercial insurance plans, Medicaid, Medicare, and self pay. Financial assistance and sliding scale payments are also available.
