Alcohol and Drug Use Statistics in West Des Moines, IA

While West Des Moines covers several counties, most of it is in Polk County. Here are drug and alcohol statistics from 2021 and prior years that focus on the impact of substance misuse in Polk County:1,3

Levels of Substance Misuse Care

Various levels of substance Misuse treatment are available. You’ll want to know the different options before choosing a program.

Professional Detox

Drug detox is a set of interventions aimed at managing uncomfortable withdrawal symptoms, helping you to achieve a substance-free and medically-stable state. Detox isn’t always necessary, but it is recommended for alcohol, benzo, and opioid addictions.

Inpatient Care

At an inpatient care center, you would live at the treatment facility for the entire length of the program, ranging from 30 to 90 days, receiving around-the-clock care, including individual therapy, group therapy, support groups, family therapy, medication (if applicable), and more.

Partial hospitalization programs (PHPs)

At a PHP, you’d live at home while attending therapy and counseling for several hours each day at a hospital or facility—between 20 and 30 hours per week. This is a great option for those who need a high level of support but don’t want to live elsewhere.

Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOPs)

In an IOP, you would live at home while receiving therapy and other services in an outpatient setting for anywhere from 9 to 20 hours per week.

Standard Outpatient

Being the least intensive and structured option, with a standard outpatient program, you would live at home and receive two to four hours of treatment per week. This option may be beneficial for someone with a mild addiction who has a great support system and strong motivation to get sober.

Relapse Prevention

After completing your initial treatment program, you will want to continue with relapse prevention services, such as support groups, ongoing therapy, transitional housing, or some combination of many services.

How to Pay for Addiction Treatment in Iowa

The following are various ways to finance your recovery program:

Private Insurance

If you have private health insurance from the Healthcare Marketplace or through your place of employment, you can use your insurance to cover the cost of drug and alcohol rehab. By law, your provider is required to cover addiction treatment services to the extent they cover medical services. This means they will likely provide partial or full coverage for treatment.

Iowa Medicaid

Iowa Medicaid is a federal health insurance program that provides coverage for low-income people and families who don’t have access to private insurance. You can use Iowa Medicaid to cover the cost of drug rehab in West Des Moines.

Medicare

Iowa Medicare provides health insurance coverage to people aged 65 and older. Like Medicaid, Medicare covers substance misuse treatment services, such as inpatient and outpatient rehab as well as substance use disorder assessments.

TRICARE in Iowa

Iowa is located in the West Region for TRICARE, a government program providing health insurance coverage for military personnel, veterans, and their families. You can use TRICARE to cover the cost of drug and alcohol rehab, making it more accessible.

Sliding Scale Payment Options

If a free rehab is full or has a long waiting list, you can apply to a sliding scale rehab, which only charges you what you can reasonably pay based on your income.

IHS-Funded Drug Rehabs

The Indian Health Services provides funding for some Iowa drug and alcohol rehab centers, making them able to provide free treatment to Indigenous people.
