ZION Integrated Behav Health Services - Clarinda

Residential and Transitional Housing for Adult Men

This program offers 24/7 residential care and transitional housing in a rural setting, serving men age 18 and older. The shared housing model creates a community-focused environment where men live alongside peers who are working toward similar recovery goals. Length of stay is typically 28 to 45 days, depending on individual progress. Treatment includes individual, group, and family counseling. Services address substance use disorders as well as co-occurring mental health conditions, including trauma and anger-related concerns. By combining therapy with daily structure, the program helps men begin rebuilding routines that support long-term stability.

Therapy That Builds Practical Recovery Skills

Clinical services include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, relapse prevention planning, trauma-related counseling, and structured skills development groups. Clients work on communication, problem-solving, and emotional regulation — skills that can strengthen relationships, improve decision-making, and support employment or educational goals after treatment. Comprehensive assessments and case management are part of care. The facility also provides suicide prevention services, tobacco cessation counseling, and education related to HIV and hepatitis. Medications for addiction treatment (MAT) are accepted when prescribed by an outside provider.

Step-Down Outpatient and Continuing Care

Recovery does not end at discharge. In addition to residential services, the Clarinda location offers intensive outpatient, extended outpatient, and continuing care programs. These options allow clients to transition gradually while maintaining therapeutic support. Continuing care may include individual, group, or family counseling, peer recovery coaching, and ongoing monitoring of emotional and environmental stressors. This step-down structure helps clients apply relapse prevention strategies in real time, maintain accountability, and stay connected to community-based recovery supports.

Community-Focused, Nonprofit Care

As a private nonprofit organization serving southwest Iowa, the program emphasizes respect, confidentiality, and personal dignity. Transportation assistance and sliding fee options help reduce common barriers to care, making it easier for individuals to access and remain engaged in treatment. The overall approach centers on helping men leave treatment with a clear aftercare plan, stronger coping tools, and a more stable foundation for long-term recovery.
