Detoxification helps rid the body of the dangerous substances it has come to rely on.
Before entering our on-site detoxification program, each prospective patient participates in a detailed assessment. This allows our team to determine which personalized services can help the patient succeed and to customize the detox experience from admission to discharge. It also helps us understand if a patient could benefit from a prescription medication such as Subutex or Vivitrol. At our outcomes-driven facility, we want to ensure that we guide each patient through the detox process at their own pace. Once detox is complete, patients can transition to our adult residential or outpatient programming and keep moving through our continuum of care. This allows us to continue working with patients as they develop the skills and strategies that can help them live a life free of dependence on alcohol or other drugs.

Our ideal client is an adolescent (ages 12-18) struggling with substance use disorder.
We offer residential treatment in cozy, home-like settings. The environment is not institutional; our Ames boys' and girls' programs actually reside in historic homes. Our treatment program in Mason City is located in our newly-renovated, state-of-the-art YSS Francis Lauer campus. In addition, our programs are gender-responsive. Following extensive research that shows keeping adolescents separated by gender during treatment is beneficial, YSS offers the only such treatment in the state of Iowa. While in treatment, youth receive individual, group, and family therapy. Cohorts are kept to similar ages; the average age of a YSS residential client is 15. Youth continue their education while in treatment and, in many cases, are able to catch up on high school credits they previously missed. Outdoor activities, cultural meals, peer mentorships, and daily fitness are just some of the ways we help youth focus on their well-being and feel connected to each other. Our support for youth doesn't end them they graduate from the program; we offer a weekly virtual alumni support group, check-ins from our YSS Recovery Advocate, and scholarships to pursue higher education.

Keystone Treatment Center offers residential treatment for adults who are suffering from substance use disorders, gambling addiction, and co-occurring mental health concerns.
Keystone provides care that helps adults learn skills and strategies that can lead to lasting recovery. We think that residential treatment works best for people who are in need of a supportive and structured atmosphere where they can address their symptoms and begin to understand their diagnosis. One of the most valuable parts of treatment takes place in group therapy sessions, where patients explore topics such as spirituality, the 12-Step process, and personal growth. We also offer experiential therapies, including recreational therapy, ropes courses, and arts and crafts, along with exercise time to promote healing of both the mind and body. Our experts use treatment modalities such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and we feature specialized Christian, Native American, and military-focused treatment tracks for patients who can benefit from those services. No matter the patient, our fundamental approach remains the same: We guide each individual we treat toward a life free of addiction.

What is the best therapy for addiction?
Addiction treatment will be tailored to the individual. People seeking help for addiction—whether with a psychotherapist, in an outpatient clinic, or in a residential program—should expect to engage in multiple types of treatments, sometimes including medication. For anyone recovering from addiction, avoiding situations in which one has typically used a substance is essential, as is the support of close connections. Since substance use disorders tend to co-occur with underlying mental health conditions such as anxiety or depression, those must also be addressed as part of any recovery plan.
How long does therapy for addiction take?
There is no set timeline for recovery from addiction. Patients and their families should expect the work to last several months, if not longer. Residential treatment programs may be based on a stay of 30, 60, or 90 days, with continuing work after release, but only about 1 percent of people are treated in such facilities. Ceasing use is just the first step; therapy to help maintain abstinence and effect behavior change must follow. The process of recovery, neuroscience has shown, involves brain cells recovering the capacity to respond to natural sources of reward and restore control over the impulse to use. Another definition of recovery is restoring voluntary control over one’s substance use and retaking all of one’s previous responsibilities.
How effective is drug addiction treatment?
Substance use disorders are treatable and remission is achievable for many who seek recovery; by some estimates, more than three-quarters of people who become addicted to alcohol or drugs recover. But that success rarely occurs quickly or on a set timeline; relapse is not only common, but many therapists and clinicians view it as a normal part of the process—not always a sign that a person has returned to addiction, but a signal that their treatment should be adjusted to help them regain control. Overall, research suggests, five years after the end of substance use, one’s risk of relapse is no greater than that of others who had not faced addiction. Other experts believe that complete abstinence is not the only measure of recovery, and that, through effective treatment, many people can learn to control their use.
How can you get addiction treatment for someone?
The most important factor in recovery from addiction is widely understood to be an individual’s commitment to change. For that reason,“interventions” in which friends and family gather to urge or force someone to begin immediate treatment often backfire; even when such efforts do lead someone to begin treatment, they may be less likely to stay than those who are self-driven. Still, family members can play an important role in supporting an individual who seeks help and can take part in family therapy as one element of a loved one’s treatment.
