Decades of clinical research show that the people who stay in recovery are the people who do the work of therapy. They learn why they used. They learn what to do instead. They learn how to live with the parts of themselves that addiction was numbing.
Detox alone removes substances. The drives behind use remain unchanged.
Clinical therapy rewires the thinking and behaviors that fuelled addiction.
At Radix Recovery, our therapy lineup combines the evidence-based modalities Iowa families expect, like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR, with experiential and holistic modalities that bring whole-person healing into the room, like art, yoga, and recreational therapy.
One-on-one sessions with a licensed clinician where you work through the specific roots of your substance use, your goals for recovery, and the patterns standing in the way.
Identify the thought patterns driving substance use and practice replacing them with healthier responses. CBT is one of the most studied and most effective therapies in addiction treatment.
Reprocess the traumatic memories that often fuel addiction using a clinically validated, bilateral stimulation protocol that helps the brain heal what talk therapy alone cannot reach.
A focused, short-term approach that strengthens your internal motivation to change by resolving the ambivalence that keeps recovery just out of reach.
Process-oriented groups where Residents work through recovery alongside peers under the guidance of a clinician, learning that the experiences they thought were unique are shared by others.
Repair, rebuild, and re-establish the family relationships addiction has strained, with structured sessions that include the people who matter most to your recovery.
Structured couples work for partners navigating addiction together, with sobriety-focused agreements and skill-building at the center of the work.

Gender-specific spaces designed around the experiences, traumas, and clinical needs that women bring into recovery, led by clinicians who specialize in this work.
Express what words cannot reach, guided by a credentialed art therapist who helps you process emotions, memories, and identity through creative work.
Action-based modalities that surface emotions and patterns talk therapy can miss, using role-play, guided activity, and movement to make hidden material accessible.
Whole-person modalities that address the body, mind, and spirit alongside clinical care, woven into your treatment plan to support deeper, lasting healing.
Guided mindfulness and meditation practices that teach the nervous system how to settle without substances and build the inner stillness recovery requires.
Purposeful activity-based therapy that reintroduces healthy sources of dopamine, connection, and play, restoring the simple joys addiction often steals.

Build distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and interpersonal skills for the moments when cravings, painful emotions, and difficult relationships collide.
Addiction therapy combines evidence-based modalities like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, EMDR, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Motivational Enhancement Therapy with experiential and holistic approaches like art, recreational, yoga, and meditation therapy. The right mix depends on the individual’s substance use history, co-occurring conditions, and treatment goals.
