Sedlacek Chemical Dependency Treatment Center

The Sedlacek Treatment Center in Cedar Rapids, Iowa operates under the Mercy Medical health network. They provide comprehensive outpatient services for drug and alcohol addiction including flexible daytime and evening programs. They accept most major insurance providers, though some of their services like their specialized support groups are offered free of charge.

Free Family Support Groups

A big part of the recovery process here is the encouragement of family engagement. This is promoted through the free educational support groups for caregivers and family members. These groups provide a safe space for you to better understand your loved one's struggles with drug abuse and give you the opportunity to connect with others so that you don't feel alone.

This support group is held weekly, and you don't need to register ahead of time to join.

Build a Community of Support

When you receive treatment through the outpatient program, you'll participate in specialized recovery groups like their education, self esteem, and therapy groups. It's through these groups that you’ll learn the healthy habits and recovery skills to help you succeed.

In some cases, if there are services you need that cannot be provided for you here like detox or residential treatment, you'll be referred to local community programs for more specialized care. This might happen if you're in need of family or couples counseling to address deeper seeded mental health issues that are exacerbating your addiction.

Despite being a center that operates within a larger medical facility, the services here are really person focused. Even after you graduate from the program, they recognize all of their clients who reach the one year sobriety mark and regularly invite past clients to come back to the treatment center and share their experiences and motivation with others in the program.
