Northeast Iowa Behavioral Health

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

No detox, here or anywhere listed within 14 miles of Decorah. Ask whether they will take somebody straight after a detox done elsewhere, because most will.

There is nothing else within 14 miles of Decorah, so the next option is a longer drive.

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 Decorah it may be mixed.

They work in Spanish as well as English. Ask whether the group sessions in Decorah are in Spanish too, or only the one to one ones.

Most programs will say plainly whether they sit on a court's approved list. A program that is not approved by the relevant court will not satisfy the order, however good it is. Ask what happens if you miss a session, so you hear it from them first.

A program will want the full list on day one, including anything over the counter. 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.

Think documents and medication first, comforts second. Anything containing alcohol is usually refused, which catches people out on mouthwash and hand sanitizer. Write the medication list before you pack anything, with the doses and who prescribed them.
