Residential Addiction Treatment

Healing Starts with Hope

YSS Residential Addiction Treatment provides a successful, individualized and evidence-based recovery program for youth (ages 12-18) in a safe, homelike atmosphere.

What are the benefits to residential treatment?

+ We offer an environment focused on recovery and well-being. 

+ Gender-specific treatment helps youth develop coping skills, healthy relationship-building skills, and relapse prevention strategies  

+ Family is integrated into treatment through visits, family therapy, virtual parent information sessions, and our unique Strengthening Families Weekend 

How do I get started?

Contact Angie Van Winkle at 641-431-1355 or avwinkle@yss.org. She will connect you with the next step based on your needs.

What is the cost for residential treatment?

Our financial team works with each family to find a funding option that fits your needs—whether that is commercial insurance (including Blue Cross Blue Shield options), Medicaid, or private pay. We can also work with you to set up payment plans. 

How long is the treatment program?

Typical stay is 3-4 months.
