Questions people ask about Covert Action LLC - Des Moines
What treatment does Covert Action LLC - Des Moines offer?
They are set up for 2 levels: outpatient and telemedicine. Of the 8 centers within 14 miles of Des Moines, 1 offers a bed.
Does Covert Action LLC - Des Moines offer a detox?
They do not, and neither does anywhere else listed around Des Moines. Withdrawal management and treatment are often two separate admissions, and this is one of those times.
Does Covert Action LLC - Des Moines treat mental health as well?
They treat both. Confirm it for the specific diagnosis rather than in general, because transitional services and recovery support services covers a lot of ground and Des Moines may have a narrower service than a bigger city would.
Is there anything in Des Moines besides paid treatment?
Des Moines has 10 AA groups, which is a different thing from treatment and a useful one next to it.
Is medication assisted treatment available at Covert Action LLC - Des Moines?
They prescribe methadone and buprenorphine, which is the part of treatment that is prescribed rather than attended. Of the 8 centers near Des Moines, not all of them do.
Do I have to tell them it is court ordered?
Whether a particular program satisfies an order is a question for the court rather than for a directory page. Drug court programs often have their own approved list and their own funding attached. Ask what happens if you miss a session, so you hear it from them first.
What happens to the medication I already take?
The list comes with you and gets reviewed. Nothing on it should change on a policy rather than a prescription. A prescribed sedative is the usual complication and needs a plan built around it. Write the list with doses and prescriber names before the first call.
Can I start outpatient and move up?
They are the same treatment delivered at different intensities, and the intensity is what you are choosing. Intensive outpatient care at several hours a day is closer to a residential program than to a weekly appointment. Say plainly who else is in the house and what they are using, because it changes the answer.
