Is Northside Service Center - Children and Families of Iowa inpatient or outpatient?

They are set up for 2 levels: outpatient and telemedicine. Of the 8 centers within 14 miles of Des Moines, 2 offer a bed.

Is detox part of what Northside Service Center - Children and Families of Iowa offers?

No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Des Moines, about a mile away.

Can Northside Service Center - Children and Families of Iowa treat anxiety alongside addiction?

They treat mental health alongside the substance use, so both sides are handled in one place. Ask whether the psychiatric side is on site, because in Des Moines that is the part that varies.

They offer a program for people dealing with past trauma, which not every center around Des Moines does.

Does Northside Service Center - Children and Families of Iowa do telehealth?

They offer telemedicine, so some of this can be done by video rather than traveling into Des Moines.

How many other options are in this area?

The nearest other center is about a mile away, in Des Moines, and there are 8 inside 14 miles.

What is buprenorphine used for?

It is the part of treatment that is prescribed rather than attended, and it is standard care for opioid use. Coming off the medication early is a common point at which things come apart, so the planned length matters. Ask whether counseling is included or billed separately, because the combination is the point.

What do I pack for a stay?

Much of what people pack gets held at the door. The paperwork and the medication are what you genuinely need. A written packing list exists at almost every residential program, and asking for it saves an argument at intake. Ask what the first twenty four hours look like, because that is what you are packing for.
