Youth and Shelter Services (YSS)

They provide outpatient and telemedicine, which is the whole of what this address in Des Moines is set up for.

No, and nothing else within 14 miles of Des Moines offers one either, so that part will mean a longer drive or a referral.

They prescribe buprenorphine and naltrexone. Medication and counseling together is the standard of care for opioid use rather than an either or, and not every place near Des Moines offers both.

They treat teenagers as well as adults, which is the less common arrangement and worth confirming for Des Moines specifically.

Nothing else serves Des Moines inside 14 miles, which is worth knowing before you rule this one out rather than against it.

They have a program for veterans. Ask whether the group is veterans only, because for a lot of people that is the point of it and in Des Moines it may be mixed.

Visiting and a family program are not the same thing, and the second is the one worth asking about. Family sessions are often the first place anybody explains what the next year is actually going to look like. Write down your questions before the call, because they are easy to lose in it.

Partly, almost always. The size of the part is the thing to pin down. Deductibles reset each year, so the timing of an admission changes the number. Ask whether the quote covers the detox as well, because frequently it does not.
