ASAC Area Substance Abuse Council The Way Home

Levels of care#

Inpatient / residential

An inpatient program fills the day with individual therapy, groups and recovery activities. Each part of the schedule has its place, so time is spent on recovery rather than on old routines.

Outpatient

Outpatient programs can offer evening and virtual sessions so care fits around the rest of the week. Many people keep working or studying while they attend.

Aftercare support

In Iowa, connecting with local support groups, sober homes, and community services often becomes part of the weekly routine.

Intervention services

When the whole family goes through this, their own well-being matters just as much. However it ends, the people who take part deserve someone to lean on.

Sober living

Shared housing of this kind sets no fixed end date, since the length of stay varies by person. Some residents move on quickly, while others stay much longer to keep their footing steady.
