Treatment for Des Moines, from our Johnston campus
Care in your own city, without leaving your support system behind
Most people looking for addiction treatment in Des Moines are weighing two bad options: a facility so close that every trigger is still on the doorstep, or one so far away that family involvement stops being realistic. Our Johnston campus sits between those extremes — roughly 15 minutes from downtown, straight up I-35 or Merle Hay Road.
That distance matters clinically. It is far enough to break the daily routine that keeps substance use going, and near enough that a partner, parent or adult child can attend family sessions on a weeknight without booking travel. When treatment ends, you are already in the community where you will do the work of staying well.

Frequently Asked Questions
The campus is in Johnston, about 15 minutes from downtown Des Moines, and we serve the whole metro from there. We say Johnston plainly rather than claiming a Des Moines address, because you should know exactly where you are going before you commit to treatment.
Yes, and we actively encourage it. Family involvement is one of the strongest predictors of lasting recovery, and being 15 minutes from Des Moines means a weeknight family session is realistic rather than an all-day undertaking.
