Questions people ask about Youth and Shelter Services
Is Youth and Shelter Services residential or day treatment?
They are set up for 2 levels: outpatient and telemedicine. Of the 8 centers within 14 miles of Des Moines, 3 offer a bed.
Is detox part of what Youth and Shelter Services offers?
No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Des Moines, 2.9 miles away.
Can you stay overnight at Youth and Shelter Services?
They are outpatient. If someone needs to be away from where they are using, Des Moines has the nearest beds, 1.5 miles away.
Does Youth and Shelter Services take court ordered treatment?
They take court referrals, so a program ordered by a court in Des Moines is something they handle.
Is medication assisted treatment available at Youth and Shelter Services?
They prescribe buprenorphine and naltrexone, which means the medication side is handled here rather than referred out to somewhere else in Des Moines.
How many options are within driving distance?
There are 8 more within a short drive of Des Moines, so this does not have to be the only call you make.
Does support carry on after discharge?
It is the stretch after discharge, and it tends to decide whether the program holds. Outpatient care often continues for months after a residential stay, at a few hours a week. Book the first follow up appointment before leaving rather than after.
Can I go back after a relapse?
It happens to most people at some point, and it says nothing about whether this will work. Where the first attempt had no medication and no aftercare, those are the two obvious things to change. Going back sooner rather than later is the part that matters most.
