What We Treat
We provide substance-specific protocols designed to address the unique impacts of each drug. With 15 years of clinical expertise, our team provides the high-level medical oversight needed to get and stay sober.
Generic treatment often leads to generic results. Our approach is built on the reality that a struggle with alcohol requires a different clinical roadmap than a struggle with fentanyl or methamphetamine. By focusing on the specific neurochemical and behavioral patterns of each substance, we provide a more direct path to healing. We offer:
At Des Moines Wellness Center, we offer treatment for a range of addictions and co-occurring disorders. Every rehab program we provide was built by our own medical staff using 15 years of clinical experience. We focus on how each specific substance affects the body to ensure everyone in our care gets a precise path to recovery. Discover the rehab protocols our team developed for each condition:
Alcohol withdrawal requires precise medical management. Our Des Moines program provides a safe, clinical environment to navigate detox, followed by intensive therapy to address the root causes of Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) and prevent chronic relapse.
Withdrawing from benzodiazepines like Xanax or Valium is a complex process that demands a specialized, safe taper. We provide 24/7 medical supervision to manage anxiety and physical symptoms, ensuring a stabilized transition to long-term recovery.
Given the extreme potency of synthetic opioids, fentanyl recovery requires high-acuity medical intervention. Our Des Moines team specializes in the specific detox requirements for fentanyl, followed by intensive residential and outpatient support.
While often overlooked, marijuana dependence can impact motivation, mental health, and daily functioning. We help clients address underlying patterns, improve focus, and develop healthier habits for long-term stability.
Meth addiction can take a serious toll on both mental and physical health. Our evidence-based approach focuses on stabilizing the brain, reducing cravings, and helping clients rebuild structure, clarity, and long-term coping skills.
Misuse of prescription medications can quickly lead to dependence and serious health risks. Our treatment approach focuses on safe stabilization, managing withdrawal, and building the tools needed for lasting recovery.
Cocaine and stimulant use can lead to intense cravings and long-term neurological effects. Our treatment focuses on restoring balance, managing triggers, and building the coping skills needed for sustained recovery.
At the Des Moines Wellness Center, our medical staff recognizes that substance use rarely exists in a vacuum. To ensure long-term stabilization, every rehab program we provide is built to address the co-occurring mental health disorders that often fuel dependency. By treating the clinical root causes alongside the physical addiction, our team provides a more comprehensive path to recovery for patients coming from Central Iowa and beyond.
Our staff-led protocols are designed to manage the complexities of Major Depressive Disorder, Generalized Anxiety, and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Whether a patient is struggling with the hyper-vigilance of trauma or the paralyzing effects of untreated bipolar disorder, our clinicians integrate psychiatric care and evidence-based therapy into the daily recovery schedule. This unified approach ensures that as the body heals from substance use, the mind is simultaneously stabilized, reducing the risk of relapse and restoring mental clarity.

Our clinical team conducts a comprehensive intake assessment upon arrival. We don’t just look at the substance used; we evaluate your physical health, mental health history, and long-term goals to place you in the specific rehab track built for your condition.
This is common. Because our medical staff has built specialized protocols for a range of addictions, we can integrate multiple tracks, such as Alcohol and Benzodiazepines, into a single, safe clinical plan that addresses all dependencies simultaneously.
Yes. Every substance-specific program we provide is designed to address co-occurring disorders. Our staff recognizes that mental health is a primary driver of addiction, so we treat both the substance use and the underlying condition at the same time.
While our staff has developed standard clinical roadmaps, the duration is flexible based on your progress. We focus on medical stabilization and psychological readiness rather than a generic 30-day clock.
