What ages does Center for Behavioral Health Iowa Inc treat?

Are there free support meetings in Des Moines?
Des Moines has 10 AA groups, which is a different thing from treatment and a useful one next to it.
Do I have to stop my prescriptions?
They normally continue, and a prescriber at the program reviews the whole list on arrival. Whether a program employs its own prescriber is a concrete difference worth asking about early. Bring the containers with the labels on, not a bag of loose pills.
Does medication replace counseling?
The short version is a prescribed medication that reduces cravings and withdrawal, taken under supervision. The evidence for medication in opioid use disorder is strong enough that its absence from a program is worth asking about. A prescriber is the only person who can judge which of the three fits your situation.
