Our Therapies

Evidence-Based Addiction Therapy in Iowa

Midwest Recovery Centers provides structured, clinically led therapy as part of our residential medical detox and inpatient rehab programs. Therapy is the foundation of treatment and addresses both substance use and co-occurring mental health conditions.

All services are delivered by licensed professionals in a supervised, residential setting. Each therapy is part of a comprehensive treatment plan.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps clients identify harmful thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to substance use. It focuses on practical skill development and relapse prevention.

CBT is commonly used to treat addiction alongside anxiety, depression, and trauma-related conditions. Sessions are structured, goal-oriented, and measurable.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Dialectical Behavior Therapy teaches emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills. It is particularly effective for patients who struggle with impulsivity or intense emotional responses.

DBT is delivered in both individual and group formats within our residential program.

Group Therapy

Group therapy provides structured peer interaction led by licensed clinicians. Sessions focus on relapse prevention, communication skills, and behavioral accountability.

Clients engage in guided discussion and therapeutic exercises designed to reinforce recovery skills in a supervised setting.

Individual Therapy

Individual therapy offers one-on-one sessions with a primary therapist. Treatment plans are personalized and adjusted based on clinical progress.

Sessions address substance use history, mental health symptoms, trauma, and relapse triggers.

MRC is truly invested in your wellbeing and success. As a result I am sober and embracing my mental health not being defined by my struggles. I have been able to restore the relationship with my children! I have been able to travel. I have found LASTING joy not temporary satisfactions. Thank you a million times over MRC - you helped me change my life.
