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.

Amenities

Private Rehab

Private drug rehab provides a comfortable, secure environment that allows you to focus on doing the work to get your life back on track. Benefits include a higher staff-to-client ratio, increased one-on-one time with therapists and healthcare providers, private rooms for clients, and customized forms of therapy.

Residential Setting

Residential drug rehab provides the comforts of home with the therapeutic support needed to successfully recover. Benefits of an inpatient program include increased safety, a higher success rate, and the time and distance given to focus on recovery. Residential drug rehabs are often the preferred method of treatment, as they can be tailored to meet specific needs, offer focused therapeutic care, and provide the necessary tools to sustain recovery.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Sober Living

Iowa sober living is less intensive than rehab treatment programs. It provides structure and support as you live independently and practice maintaining a sober lifestyle. You’ll reside with others in recovery, attend 12-step meetings, and contribute to household responsibilities. This arrangement can continue until you’re ready to live on your own.
