Questions people ask about Southern Iowa Economic Dev Association
Is Southern Iowa Economic Dev Association residential or day treatment?
They offer outpatient and telemedicine. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Ottumwa has 5 other centers within 14 miles.
Is detox part of what Southern Iowa Economic Dev Association offers?
No, and nothing else within 14 miles of Ottumwa offers one either, so that part will mean a longer drive or a referral.
Does Southern Iowa Economic Dev Association offer appointments by video?
They offer a telemedicine option. What that covers varies, and a first appointment in Ottumwa often still has to be in person.
What special programs does Southern Iowa Economic Dev Association offer?
They offer a program for people dealing with past trauma, which not every center around Ottumwa does.
Does Southern Iowa Economic Dev Association have beds?
Outpatient only. Nobody stays overnight, so the week is built around appointments you travel to in Ottumwa.
What happens to the medication I already take?
Most of what you take carries on. The exceptions are decided clinically rather than by policy. Where a program has no prescriber of its own, what you take stays with whoever already manages it. Keep your own prescriber in the loop rather than letting the handover happen by itself.
Who answers the phone?
You will be asked about the drug, the dose, your medical history and your coverage. Having your insurance card in front of you shortens the whole thing considerably. Ask what the next step would be and who makes it happen.
Is medication part of treatment?
Medication is one tool in a program, and for opioid use disorder it is the one with the strongest evidence behind it. Alcohol use disorder has prescribed options of its own, which is worth raising because the phrase is usually explained in terms of opioids. Ask how long the medication is expected to continue, and who reviews it.
