Moving beyond detox to fix the root of the problem
Our Commitment Doesn't End at Graduation
At our Des Moines rehab, we don’t believe in completing treatment and walking away. True recovery is a lifelong journey, and our responsibility to you continues long after you leave our doors. We remain a permanent partner in your sobriety, providing the professional resources and community connections necessary to navigate the real-world challenges of life.
Our aftercare framework focuses on two essential pillars that ensure our graduates in don’t just finish a program, but build a sustainable new life.
Pillar 1: Structured Aftercare Planning
Before you complete your PHP or IOP track, our clinicians build a personalized transition plan. This roadmap includes scheduled outpatient check-ins, medication management, and direct referrals to local Des Moines support groups to ensure there is never a gap in your care. By professionalizing the transition, we remove the guesswork from early recovery.
Pillar 2: A Thriving Alumni Network
Sobriety is more sustainable when it’s shared. Our alumni program connects you with a diverse group of individuals in the central Iowa area who have walked the same path. From sober social events to peer mentorship, we provide the social mortar that keeps your foundation strong, ensuring you always have a local community to lean on.

Common Questions
What is the difference between Aftercare and Alumni support?
Aftercare is a clinical step-down plan that includes scheduled check-ins and therapy to keep your recovery on track. Alumni support is the social side, a community of graduates who meet for events and peer mentorship in Des Moines.
How long should I stay involved in aftercare?
Most medical experts recommend staying active in aftercare for at least one year after graduating from PHP or IOP. The first 90 days are the most critical, so we intensify our support during that window.
Is there a cost to join the Alumni program?
No. Once you graduate from a Des Moines Wellness Center program, you are a member for life. Our social events and alumni meetings in Polk County are free resources designed to keep our community strong.
Can my family be involved in my aftercare?
Absolutely. We offer family support sessions to help your loved ones understand how to support your sobriety at home. We provide the tools they need to help you stay successful in Central Iowa.
What happens if I experience a setback or relapse?
Setbacks are handled with clinical urgency, not judgment. Because you are already plugged into our network, we can quickly adjust your treatment plan or get you back into a higher level of care without delay.
