Choosing where to get help for addiction is one of the most important decisions a person or family will make. Radix Recovery was built to provide the kind of care that the state of Iowa was missing: a modern, full-continuum treatment program that combines clinical strength with genuine compassion for those with a real desire to recover.
Our name means “root.” That is not a marketing concept. It reflects how we approach treatment. We believe our residents are part of our community, not merely patients staying for 28 days. We work to identify and address what is driving substance use, including co-occurring mental health conditions like depression, anxiety, PTSD, and trauma, so residents can build real stability from the ground up.
What makes Radix different from other rehab centers in Iowa is the depth of our clinical model. We are one of the few treatment centers in Iowa that delivers true dual diagnosis care, meaning our team actively identifies and treats psychiatric conditions alongside addiction rather than simply acknowledging they exist.
Licensed clinicians and psychiatric support that identify and treat co-occurring mental health conditions uncovered once substances are removed. This is integrated care, not an add-on.
Medical detox, inpatient, PHP, IOP, and outpatient services all connected through a single clinical team offering a full range of addiction services. No gaps, no fragmented referrals, no starting over.
Separate nursing teams for detox and residential care, with round-the-clock monitoring, medication management, and clinical oversight.
Treatment delivered by licensed therapists, counselors, and clinicians using evidence-based modalities including CBT, DBT, motivational interviewing, and trauma-informed approaches.
Recovery at Radix is active, not passive. Residents are expected to practice skills, build responsibility, and engage in a program designed to create real behavior change.
Wellness programming, personal training, nutrition support, community outings, and experiential activities that help residents prepare for life beyond treatment.
Radix Recovery provides a connected path from stabilization through independent living. Each level of care is designed to build on the one before it, so residents never lose momentum or have to start over with a new provider.
Medically monitored alcohol withdrawal management with physician oversight, individualized medication protocols, and 24/7 nursing support. Most residents complete detox in 3 to 7 days before transitioning to ongoing alcohol treatment.
Safe, medically supervised withdrawal from opioids, benzodiazepines, stimulants, and other substances. Individualized medication protocols and continuous monitoring keep residents stable through the critical first days of recovery.
Structured, 24/7 inpatient care with daily group sessions, individual therapy, wellness programming, and strong accountability. Typical stays follow 30, 60, or 90-day pathways based on clinical need and recovery progress.
Comprehensive day programming with four to eight hours of daily treatment while residents live off-site. PHP provides a high level of therapeutic support while bridging the gap between residential care and outpatient treatment.
Structured outpatient care three days per week, typically nine to twenty hours of treatment, with group therapy, individual counseling, and evidence-based skill building. IOP is designed for residents stepping down from higher levels of care or those who need support while maintaining work, school, or family responsibilities.
Ongoing therapy, relapse prevention, peer support, and aftercare planning to help residents sustain recovery in their daily lives. Medication management including Suboxone and Vivitrol is available for appropriate clients.
Radix Recovery does not look or feel like a generic treatment center. Our facility, the restored Higley Mansion in Cedar Rapids, provides an environment that is comfortable, professional, and built for focus. The setting signals that residents deserve a quality experience with comprehensive support during one of the most important chapters of their lives.
A typical day begins with movement-based programming such as yoga or group exercise. From there, residents move through a full clinical schedule that includes group therapy, individual sessions, medication management, meals, and structured peer activities. Wellness time may include access to the gym, sauna, cold plunge, massage chairs, or other amenities.
Beyond the clinical schedule, residents participate in community integration activities such as volunteer work, museum visits, recovery meetings, and other outings designed to help people practice recovery skills in real settings.

Radix Recovery is located in Cedar Rapids, but our residents come from every corner of the state. We serve adults from Des Moines, Iowa City, Waterloo, Cedar Falls, Davenport, the Quad Cities, Dubuque, Sioux City, Council Bluffs, and communities throughout Iowa.
For many residents, receiving treatment outside their home city is a clinical advantage. Distance from familiar environments, triggers, and routines creates space for deeper focus on recovery. Our admissions team helps coordinate travel logistics and can often complete the intake process within 24 hours.

Every resident at Radix works with licensed therapists and a clinical team that uses proven treatment methods, not outdated lecture-based programming. Our clinical philosophy is direct, structured, and person-centered. We treat addiction as a disease process that must be addressed across mind, body, and behavior.
Core treatment modalities include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), motivational interviewing, relapse prevention planning, trauma-informed care, and group process therapy. Treatment is individualized, meaning each resident’s plan reflects their specific substance use history, mental health needs, and recovery goals.
A defining strength of Radix Recovery is our ability to identify and treat psychiatric conditions that may become visible for the first time once substances are removed. Many residents arrive not knowing they have depression, anxiety, PTSD, or other conditions that have been masked by their substance use. Our integrated model ensures those conditions are treated alongside addiction, not referred out or ignored.
Radix Recovery is one of the few addiction treatment centers in Iowa that delivers true dual diagnosis care. Our licensed clinicians identify and treat conditions like depression, anxiety, PTSD, and trauma alongside addiction not referred out or treated as secondary concerns.
Once substances are removed, many residents discover psychiatric conditions they never knew existed. Our integrated model ensures those are treated within the same program, by the same team.
Getting started at Radix Recovery is straightforward. Our admissions team is available to answer questions, walk you through your insurance options, and coordinate a same-day or next-day admission when clinically appropriate.
