Levels of Care
Virtual Outpatient Treatment in Iowa
The same clinical team and the same evidence-based therapies, delivered by secure video so distance, work or childcare never decide whether you get treatment.
Virtual Outpatient: What You Need To Know
Who It Treats
Both substance use and mental health conditions, including co-occurring diagnoses treated together rather than in sequence.
Learn more — Who It TreatsHow It Works
Scheduled individual and group sessions by secure video. You join from home, so there is no commute and no time lost travelling to the campus.
Who It Suits
People stepping down from residential or IOP care, and people across Iowa for whom the drive to Johnston would be the reason they never start.
What You Need
A private space and an internet connection. Our admissions team will confirm what works before your first session.
Clinical Team
The same licensed clinicians who lead our on-site programs, so the standard of care does not change with the format.

Distance should not be the reason you go untreated
Iowa is a large, largely rural state, and for many people the nearest accredited programme is an hour or more each way. That commute is not a small inconvenience — it is often the deciding factor between starting treatment and putting it off indefinitely. Virtual outpatient care removes it.
Sessions run to a set schedule, with the same licensed clinicians and the same evidence-based therapies we use on our Johnston campus. You still have a treatment plan, a clinical team who know your history, and accountability built into the week. The difference is only where you sit.

Frequently Asked Questions
For outpatient-level care, research has generally found telehealth delivery to produce outcomes comparable to in-person sessions, and it removes the travel barrier that causes many people to drop out. It is not a substitute for every level of care — medical detox and residential treatment require you to be on site — so we assess which level fits before you start.
Yes. We treat substance use and mental health conditions, including co-occurring diagnoses, and we treat them together rather than one after the other. If anxiety, depression or trauma sits underneath the substance use, that is part of the same treatment plan.
No. Virtual outpatient care is available to people across Iowa, which is the main reason we offer it. If you later need detox or residential treatment, that happens at our Johnston campus, minutes from Des Moines.
Most major private plans cover virtual outpatient care, though the specifics vary by plan. We check your benefits for free and tell you what your coverage, deductible and any co-pay actually are before you commit to anything.
A private space where you will not be overheard, and a reliable internet connection on a phone, tablet or computer. Our admissions team will confirm the details with you before your first session.
