Substance Use Disorder Services

Substance Abuse and Addiction Treatment


Substance misuse or “abuse” can take on many forms – addiction to alcohol, codeine, heroin, opium, tobacco, and more.  If you, or someone you know, need support to break away from substance use, consider turning to the qualified and professional staff at Central Iowa Psychological Services.  Recovery from addiction is possible to achieve and maintain with the right tools. We understand that each person’s journey toward recovery is unique, which is why we take into account each individual’s needs and life circumstances with our personalized treatment services.


Addiction can have tremendous effects on family members, friends, and loved ones. As we begin down the path of recovery, our integrative program is prepared to assist in the recovery of both the individual and their family, friends, and loved ones. We believe that working together will set the individual and their closest circle up for long-term success.

Family Involvement

Family therapy may also be included as part of the overall treatment plan. Our program may include the use of the MEE Journal System from the Change Company. Along with this journal system, other written materials or interactive writing projects are tailored to meet the needs of each individual.
