About UCS Healthcare
UCS Healthcare is a multi-service provider in West Des Moines, Iowa that offers integrated addiction treatment, behavioral health, psychiatric care and primary medical services.
The team specializes in substance use disorder treatment for opioid and alcohol use, and dedicated gambling addiction care for adults, seniors, LGBTQIA+ patients and Spanish-speaking communities.
UCS Healthcare delivers confidential, individualized and compassionate care that meets each patient wherever they are in their recovery journey.
Medication-Assisted Treatment
UCS Healthcare offers outpatient methadone, buprenorphine and naltrexone treatment alongside counseling sessions.
The West Des Moines main office combines medication assisted treatment dosing, medical care and behavioral health support in a single, convenient location with free parking.
Patients begin with an intake and assessment, then engage in therapies such as cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing and trauma-informed counseling.
Continuing care, relapse prevention and the SAGE substance abuse group education program help patients build lasting stability and address the root causes of addiction.
Specialized Programs and Peer Recovery Support
Beyond core addiction treatment, UCS offers gambling addiction therapy, peer recovery coaching, family group support and LGBTQIA+ affirming medical care.
Spanish-speaking group sessions and Zoom-based telehealth options expand access for patients across the community, while integrated psychiatric and primary care services support whole-person wellness.

Levels of care
- Detox
- If withdrawal feels hard to bear, medications may be part of detox care to ease symptoms. This support is available in Iowa, along with close watching of how the person feels.
- 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.
