Iowa Health System Working together. Making a difference. Riverside Begins In-School Assessment Program Recovery from addiction begins with abstinence from chemicals, but it doesn't stop there.
Recovery includes learning new life skills, and new ways to deal with emotions.
The involvement of families and loved ones is an important aspect of recovery. Since 1972, the chemical dependency programs at Riverside have helped thousands of people learn how to live better, more meaningful lives and remain chemical-free. Riverside, the hospital-based chemical dependency treatment program of the Robert Young Center, offers inpatient and outpatient services for adults and adolescents with substance abuse problems. Services include 24-hour emergency treatment and crisis intervention, medical detoxification, DUI assessment and diagnostic evaluation, and aftercare programs. Patients receive individual counseling and participate in group sessions.
