They provide outpatient and telemedicine. Whichever one you start at the usual pattern is to step down through the levels rather than stop at once, and Des Moines is the closest place to carry that on if you move.

No. The nearest place that does offer one is in West Des Moines, 3.0 miles away.

Outpatient only. Nobody stays overnight, so the week is built around appointments you travel to in West Des Moines.

They treat adults up to and past 65. Ask whether the group sessions are mixed age, because in West Des Moines that often means one room rather than two.

The nearest other center is under a mile away, in West Des Moines, and there are 8 inside 14 miles.

The month after a program is the one that needs a schedule, and aftercare is that schedule. Sober living is housing with rules rather than treatment, and the rules vary more than the brochures suggest. Ask what the alumni side of it involves, because it is often the most useful free thing on offer.

Treating the substance use and leaving a diagnosis untouched is a common reason a first attempt does not hold. An integrated program handles both with one team, which removes the handover where people get lost. If trauma is part of this, ask what specific therapy they offer for it.

Coverage is common, and partial coverage is more common than the full amount. Prior authorization is normal for a residential stay and unusual for a single outpatient visit. Ask for a benefits check rather than an estimate, and ask what the check does not include.
