Acceptance Recovery Counseling

Outpatient Support in a Calm, Accessible Setting

Acceptance Recovery Counseling serves teens and adults from a discreet office suite in Coralville, Iowa. The outpatient setting allows clients to continue their daily routines while receiving care that’s both trauma-informed and rooted in harm reduction. Telehealth is available for added flexibility, and clients are welcome to engage with treatment at their own pace, no requirement for abstinence to get started.

Real-Life Focus: Legal Support, Transportation, and Evaluations

In addition to therapy, the center helps clients manage real-world challenges that can disrupt recovery. Staff provide workplace or legal evaluations (including OWI and DOT assessments), and assistance is available for those who need help with transportation or payment. This practical support helps reduce common access barriers and promotes long-term stability.

EMDR and Therapy Tailored to Trauma and Relapse

Treatment at Acceptance Recovery Counseling includes cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), motivational interviewing, and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), a modality often used for trauma and relapse prevention. Clients can choose the approaches that resonate most and adjust their goals as they progress.

Strong Support for Families and Loved Ones

For families impacted by a loved one’s substance use, Acceptance Recovery Counseling offers evidence-based education and support through the Community Reinforcement and Family Training (CRAFT) model. This non-confrontational approach helps parents, partners, and other loved ones stay connected and supportive without enabling harmful behavior.

Individualized Planning, Nonjudgmental Care

Every client works with a therapist to create a plan that fits their specific needs, whether that means addressing anxiety alongside substance use, preparing to re-enter the workforce, or simply finding stability after a difficult period. The center’s commitment to nonjudgmental, real-world support makes it a strong fit for people who want to build change gradually and sustainably.
