Des Moines Wellness Center

Des Moines Wellness Center helps Iowans reclaim their health from a wide range of dependencies and co-occurring mental health disorders. They bridge the gap between crisis and long-term stability by offering a full continuum of care, from medically supervised detox to intensive residential treatment and flexible outpatient programs. They prioritize people over protocols, and help patients not just finish a program, but build a sustainable new life.

Meet Personalized Recovery Goals

Des Moines Wellness Center gives every patient a personalized recovery plan rooted in evidence-based modalities and trauma-informed support to meet each person’s unique goals and treat the root causes of their addiction. Private, group, and family therapy help patients process personal history, strengthen relationships, and develop relapse prevention strategies. Cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy help patients change unhelpful thought patterns, regulate emotions, manage stress, and cope with cravings.

Balance Clinical Safety and Home-like Comfort

The Des Moines facility is a calm, dignified space that feels more like a home than a hospital. The structured healing environment includes a private intake and evaluation wing, a dedicated medical detox suite, and group therapy and education hubs. Patients recover in the refined comfort of executive private suites and a gourmet culinary experience, and have access to an on-site wellness and movement center and expansive outdoor spaces.

Keep Recovery on Track After Graduation

Before each patient graduates, Des Moines Wellness Center creates a custom plan with them to navigate the future, including if things get tough. In addition to frequent check-ins and medication management, patients maintain access to therapists in regular sessions to see how they are handling stress and turning their new coping skills into lasting habits. The alumni program provides a local community to lean on at sober meetups and outings.
