Questions people ask about Youth and Shelter Services (YSS)
What programs does Youth and Shelter Services (YSS) offer?
They provide outpatient and telemedicine, which is the whole of what this address in Marshalltown is set up for.
Does Youth and Shelter Services (YSS) offer a detox?
No, and nothing else within 14 miles of Marshalltown offers one either, so that part will mean a longer drive or a referral.
What special programs does Youth and Shelter Services (YSS) offer?
One of their programs is built for veterans, which usually means a separate group rather than the same room with a different label, and it is one of the 14 named here.
Does Youth and Shelter Services (YSS) have beds?
Outpatient only. Nobody stays overnight, so the week is built around appointments you travel to in Marshalltown.
Does Youth and Shelter Services (YSS) do co-occurring treatment?
They treat both. Confirm it for the specific diagnosis rather than in general, because mental health treatment and recovery support services covers a lot of ground and Marshalltown may have a narrower service than a bigger city would.
Will they take my medication away?
Bring the list and bring the containers, and expect a prescriber to go through both. A prescribed benzodiazepine or opioid painkiller is the usual complication, and it needs a plan rather than a rule. Any change to what you take is a conversation with a prescriber, never a decision from a page like this.
Can my family come?
Involvement is common, and so are limits on it, set by the person being treated. Al-Anon and Nar-Anon exist for the people around someone using, they are free, and they are separate from any treatment program. Write down your questions before the call, because they are easy to lose in it.
Who answers the phone?
It is a screening conversation, and the answers decide what gets suggested. Nobody needs a diagnosis to make this call, and most people making it do not have one. It is fine to say you are only gathering information.
