Why families and residents choose Radix Recovery
- The Radix model
We treat the root, not just the surface
Our name means root. That is not a marketing concept. It reflects how we approach treatment. We believe our residents are part of our community, not just short-term admissions moving through on a fixed schedule. We work to identify and address what is driving substance use, including co-occurring mental health conditions like depression, anxiety, PTSD, and trauma, so residents can build real stability from the ground up.
- What sets Radix apart
- 01
Evidence-based dual diagnosis treatment
Licensed clinicians and psychiatric support that identify and treat co-occurring mental health conditions uncovered once substances are removed. This is integrated care, not an add-on.
- 02
Full continuum under one roof
- 03
24/7 medical and nursing coverage
Separate nursing teams for detox and residential care, with round-the-clock monitoring, medication management, and clinical oversight.
- 04
Licensed clinical leadership
- 05
Structured accountability
Recovery at Radix is active, not passive. Residents are expected to practice skills, build responsibility, and engage in a program designed to create real behavior change.
- 06
Whole-person recovery
Wellness programming, personal training, nutrition support, community outings, and experiential activities that help residents prepare for life beyond treatment.

Iowa addiction treatment programs at Radix Recovery
Full-continuum alcohol use disorder treatment combining CBT, DBT, motivational interviewing, and trauma-informed care, all overseen by one clinical team from withdrawal management through aftercare. Vivitrol (extended-release naltrexone) is available after detox to reduce cravings, with 30, 60, or 90 day pathways based on clinical need.
Safe, medically supervised withdrawal from opioids, benzodiazepines, stimulants, and other substances. Individualized medication protocols and continuous monitoring keep residents stable through the critical first days of recovery.
Structured, 24/7 inpatient care with daily group sessions, individual therapy, wellness programming, and strong accountability. Typical stays follow 30, 60, or 90-day pathways based on clinical need and recovery progress.
Comprehensive day programming with four to eight hours of daily treatment while residents live off-site. PHP provides a high level of therapeutic support while bridging the gap between residential care and outpatient treatment.
Structured outpatient care three days per week, typically nine to twenty hours of treatment, with group therapy and evidence-based skill building. IOP is designed for residents stepping down from higher levels of care or those who need support while maintaining work, school, or family responsibilities.
Structured relapse prevention for residents who have completed inpatient rehab, PHP, or IOP. Weekly clinical contact steps down to biweekly and monthly across 12 months or more, with CBT trigger work, mindfulness-based relapse prevention, medication management, and a written prevention plan reviewed every 60 to 90 days.
Every level connects through a single clinical team. Residents move forward without starting over.

- The Radix experience
What treatment looks like at Radix Recovery
Radix Recovery does not look or feel like a generic treatment center. Our facility, the restored Higley Mansion in Cedar Rapids, provides an environment that is comfortable, professional, and built for focus. The setting signals that residents deserve a quality experience with comprehensive support during one of the most important chapters of their lives.
A typical day begins with movement-based programming such as yoga or group exercise. From there, residents move through a full clinical schedule that includes group therapy, individual sessions, medication management, meals, and structured peer activities. Wellness time may include access to resources and amenities like the gym, sauna, cold plunge, massage chairs, or other amenities.
Beyond the clinical schedule, residents participate in community integration activities such as volunteer work, museum visits, recovery meetings, and other outings designed to help people practice recovery skills in real settings.

Evidence-Based Treatment With Licensed Clinicians
Every resident at Radix works with licensed therapists and a clinical team that uses proven treatment methods, not outdated lecture-based programming. Our clinical philosophy is direct, structured, and person-centered. We treat addiction as a disease process that must be addressed across mind, body, and behavior.
Core treatment modalities include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), motivational interviewing, relapse prevention planning, trauma-informed care, and group process therapy. Treatment is individualized, meaning each resident’s plan reflects their specific substance use history, mental health needs, and recovery goals.
A defining strength of Radix Recovery is our ability to identify and treat psychiatric conditions that may become visible for the first time once substances are removed. Many residents arrive not knowing they have depression, anxiety, PTSD, or other conditions that have been masked by their substance use. Our integrated model ensures those conditions are treated alongside addiction, not referred out or ignored.
- Core Treatment Modalities
True Dual Diagnosis Integration
Radix Recovery is one of the few addiction treatment centers in Iowa that delivers true dual diagnosis care. Our licensed clinicians identify and treat conditions like depression, anxiety, PTSD, and trauma alongside addiction not referred out or treated as secondary concerns.
Once substances are removed, many residents discover psychiatric conditions they never knew existed. Our integrated model ensures those are treated within the same program, by the same team.

- Frequently Asked Questions About Rehab in Iowa
Frequently Asked Questions About Addiction Treatment in Iowa
How much does addiction rehab cost in Iowa?
Does private insurance cover substance abuse treatment?
How long does insurance pay for rehab?
How long do you stay in rehab for drugs and alcohol?
Many programs last 30, 60, or 90 days, while others may recommend shorter or longer stays based on clinical assessments and progress in recovery. The length of stay in drug and alcohol rehab depends on individual needs, substance use history, and treatment goals.
How successful is inpatient addiction rehab?
Research shows that relapse rates for substance use disorders are about 40 to 60 percent, similar to other chronic illnesses like diabetes and high blood pressure. Relapse is not a sign of failure; it signals that treatment needs to be adjusted or resumed. Inpatient addiction treatment can be highly effective, especially when followed by ongoing support.
How fast are admissions to Radix Recovery in Iowa?
What levels of care does Radix Recovery offer?
Does Radix Recovery offer medication-assisted treatment (MAT)?
Yes. Radix Recovery offers medication-assisted treatment as part of a comprehensive recovery plan. MAT combines FDA-approved medications, including Suboxone (buprenorphine/naloxone), naltrexone, and acamprosate, with counseling and behavioral therapy to manage withdrawal, reduce cravings, and support long-term recovery. For opioid use disorder, we also offer naltrexone and buprenorphine, two medications that SAMHSA recommends in its treatment protocols and that the FDA has approved for treating addiction. Our licensed medical team determines whether MAT is clinically appropriate based on individual assessment and treatment goals.
What is dual diagnosis treatment and does Radix Recovery provide it?
Is Radix Recovery licensed and accredited in Iowa?
Yes. Radix Recovery is licensed by the Iowa Department of Health and Human Services and accredited by the Joint Commission. Iowa HHS licenses and monitors approximately 100 substance use disorder treatment programs across the state, and Radix meets the clinical, operational, and ethical standards required to deliver evidence-based addiction treatment.
