Drug & Alcohol Rehab Centers In Iowa

Treatment for substance abuse is never a quick-fix, but it is a helpful step on the journey to recovery. In Iowa, there are over 150 different substance abuse treatment facilities to choose from in your search for a rehab that will meet your individual needs. The first step is to consider what you or your loved one is looking for in treatment, and what resources will best help in building a foundation of recovery.

You’ll find a large portion of outpatient facilities in Iowa, where clients attend therapy and treatment services during scheduled daytime hours. This option is common as a follow-up to inpatient treatment, as clients integrate back into their normal, daily lives. Outpatient gives clients the freedom to still live at home, as well as maintain their employment and family responsibilities.

Iowa also has a several inpatient rehabs, where clients are residents of the treatment facility and stay for 30, 60, 90, or even 120 days. Inpatient treatment allows you or your loved one to fully immerse in the treatment process and focus entirely on recovery and healing. It’s also a safer option, separated from potential distractions and relapse triggers in the home environment.

State officials and community members in Iowa have been working to combat the state’s substance abuse problems. Despite meth labs being shut down across the state, high-purity crystal methamphetamine is still an increasingly popular drug of choice as it’s trafficked from Mexico and the west coast. Although heroin and prescription opioids have been less popular drugs of abuse in Iowa, they’re on the rise and currently at all-time-high rates of abuse this year.

Iowa—Prevention, Treatment, and Positive Change

Although rates of methamphetamine and opiate abuse are increasing among substance abusers, the total number of substance abusers across the state is decreasing. As of 2016, the rate of substance abuse among Iowa’s population is below the national average. Iowa actually has the one of the lowest rates of illegal drug use in the entire United States (second only to South Dakota).

Though substance abuse continues to be an issue of national concern, Iowa is making progress in protecting its citizens and communities. Prevention, treatment, and recovery efforts are improving, and there are resources available to help you or your loved one. We can help you find the right facility in Iowa to suit your needs.

• The IDPH also funds the site DrugFreeInfo.org to provide people in Iowa with easily accessible information and resources related to behavioral health. More information about substance abuse and gambling is available on the site, and people can seek help for themselves or someone else through the website or through their 24/7 toll-free Helpline (1-866-242-4111).
