UnityPoint Health - Abbe Center for Community Mental Health Cedar Rapids

Located southeast of Greene Square, UnityPoint Health treats children, teens, and adults at 615 5th Street SE in downtown Cedar Rapids. They combine mental health counseling, addiction treatment, psychiatric care, and primary care. Walk-in registration for initial assessments runs Monday through Wednesday from 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. and Thursday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. They also maintain a 24-hour crisis support line.

Counseling, Medication, and Recovery Services

Clinicians treat depression, anxiety, trauma-related concerns, and substance use disorders (SUD) through individual and group counseling, psychiatric evaluations, and medication management. Addiction services include counseling and medication-assisted treatment (MAT) for alcohol and opioid addiction. They also use cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR). Peer recovery coaches, intensive psychiatric rehabilitation, and Life Skills programming address recovery needs and daily functioning.

Daily Living and Accessible Treatment

Clients attend outpatient appointments while continuing work, school, or family responsibilities. Club 520 organizes peer-led activities, while community outreach connects people experiencing housing instability with local resources. They welcome all ages and involve guardians in treatment consent for minors. They accept Medicaid, Medicare, most commercial insurance plans, and self-pay. Eligible clients can access sliding-scale fees, and same-day initial assessments help reduce delays in starting care.
