Outpatient and Intensive Outpatient Substance Use Treatment
Polk County Behavioral Health provides comprehensive outpatient SUD services beginning with a drug and alcohol assessment to determine the right level of care. The team includes Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselors, Qualified Mental Health Professionals and Peer Support Specialists who deliver individual counseling, treatment groups and referrals to detox or residential programs when clinically appropriate.
