Personalized Care for Substance Use in Des Moines

The clinic provides consultations, assessments, and treatment planning to create a program that meets your specific needs. As you move through treatment, the staff monitors your progress to ensure you’re moving toward your goals.

If there’s a waiting list, they’ll provide brief intervention services to help you stay stable and ensure you have the tools you need until you’re matched with a clinician. This might include healthy coping mechanisms and other resources that can help you stay safe until you begin treatment.

Once MAT begins, you’ll get education about medication options and your care will be integrated with your primary medical provider. The program also includes counseling and therapy to help you establish new habits to move forward into a healthy, productive lifestyle.

The East Side Clinic is also home to the Wellness Center. This center provides a community garden as well as food boxes to help lower income families make healthier food choices.

They also have “Walks With a Doc” where you can ask questions you have about maintaining wellness. This is an important part of addiction recovery and maintaining sobriety.
