Questions people ask about UCS Healthcare

Is UCS Healthcare inpatient or outpatient?

They offer outpatient and telemedicine. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and West Des Moines has 8 other centers within 14 miles.

Is detox part of what UCS Healthcare offers?

They do not offer one. Sorting detox out comes first, and West Des Moines is the nearest place that does it, 2.6 miles away.

Does UCS Healthcare have beds?

Nobody stays overnight. Outpatient means you keep sleeping at home and come in for sessions, and the closest residential option is 2.6 miles away in Des Moines.

Does UCS Healthcare treat depression too?

They treat both, and the rest of what they are set up for is adult men, adult women, court referrals, hiv/aids, lgbtq, past domestic violence, past sexual abuse, past trauma, pregnant/postpartum and service members.

Which medications does UCS Healthcare prescribe?

They prescribe methadone, buprenorphine and naltrexone. Methadone in particular is dispensed under rules that differ from the others, so confirm it before traveling into West Des Moines.

Does UCS Healthcare offer appointments by video?

They do video appointments, which matters if West Des Moines is a drive for you.

What separates a good program from a bad one?

Anything a program will put in writing is easier to compare than anything it only says on a call. Who delivers the therapy matters: licensed clinicians and counselors in training are not the same thing. Ask who you would actually be treated by, and what their license is.

Will I lose my job?

Treatment often counts as a medical reason for leave, with the detail of the condition staying between you and a clinician. Intensive outpatient programs are commonly scheduled before work or in the evening precisely so people can stay employed. Ask the program for a date it will confirm in writing, because a leave request needs a date rather than an intention.
