Yes. We guarantee active clinical pivots. If our team monitors your progress and determines a specific modality isn’t producing the expected results, we adjust your frequency and intensity in real-time to ensure your treatment remains optimized.
In simple terms: CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) focuses on identifying and changing the negative thought patterns that lead to substance use. DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) is a specialized form of CBT that focuses more on emotional regulation and distress tolerance, which is essential for managing intense dual-diagnosis triggers.
While we highly recommend family integration to help restore support systems in the Des Moines area, we prioritize clinical safety. Our staff evaluates each family situation and only facilitates sessions when it is therapeutically beneficial for the patient’s recovery.
Frequency is based entirely on your clinical need. Some patients require daily individual stabilization in the early phases, while others may shift toward more peer-supported group sessions as they reach their recovery milestones.
Most private insurance plans cover evidence-based therapies when they are part of a medically supervised stabilization plan. Because our programs are staff-led and clinically monitored, our admissions team can typically secure coverage for the specific modalities, such as CBT or DBT, required for your recovery. We provide a 100% confidential verification to confirm your benefits before you begin treatment. Call us anytime at (888) 378-2158.
