Treatment is the Beginning of a Fulfilling Life
As a parent, your child is everything to you. When they hurt, you feel their pain. Adolescent drug addiction is rising and wreaking havoc on your family. Regardless of the circumstances, no matter the substance, and despite how long it’s been, no one is too far gone to save. Our juvenile drug treatment programs in Iowa can help piece your family back together and help your teen get their life back on track.

Evidence-Based Addiction Treatment for Adolescents
CBT
One of the most effective forms of psychotherapy for substance use disorders is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). This therapy helps juveniles develop positive coping skills and reframe thought patterns in their recovery process.
STEPPS
If your teen is emotionally intense, the STEPPS program can help. With the STEPPS program, your teen can learn to regulate their emotions and develop more effective communication strategies in a supportive, caring environment. This program is often combined with individual therapy and medication management as needed.
Trauma Therapy
While trauma can leave a lasting impact on anyone, juveniles are especially vulnerable to its effects. Trauma-informed therapy can help your teen process and overcome negative thoughts and memories that lead them to substance use and help them develop new coping skills.
Multidimensional Family Therapy (MDFT)
Family plays a leading role in recovery. Multidisciplinary Family Therapy (MDFT) addresses substance abuse and behavioral health disorders through a support-system-centered approach. MDFT involves individual sessions for family members and, as a unit, strengthening the entire family unit.
Group Therapy
Healing is better achieved through connection. Group therapy provides a safe, supportive, judgment-free space for your teen to work through struggles with peers. A mental health professional facilitates group therapy to help your teen develop a sense of community, communicate their emotions more effectively, and strengthen their support system.
Compassionate Addiction Treatment for Juveniles
Healing is more than getting sober. Full recovery is achieved holistically: mind, body, and spirit.
Personalized Treatment
At Ember Recovery, your teen is more than just their Patient ID. Each recovery plan is created specifically for who they are meant to serve. We consider your child’s circumstances and need to create a holistic strategy that guides your teen to lifelong recovery.
Gender-Specific Programs
The physical and emotional needs of boys and girls can vastly differ. Our gender-responsive juvenile treatment programs provide a supportive, safe space for your teen and foster healthy peer connections.
Education-Oriented Approach
No teen should have to sacrifice their education to enter into treatment. We collaborate with school systems to ensure your teen is on track to complete school work and even make up any high school credits they may have missed.
Comfortable Atmosphere
Addiction treatment shouldn’t feel like a juvenile hall. Our facility is designed to be a comfortable, home-like setting, so your teen feels comfortable and familiar while undergoing treatment.
Family-Focused Support
Family is the true key to healing. At Ember Recovery, we facilitate family weekends and in-person and virtual family counseling so your family unit can heal together and become even stronger.
Future-Forward
Treatment is temporary, but recovery is forever. We are committed to the success of your child’s future at our facility and lifelong. We’re here to help your family from admission to aftercare.
