Treatment rules and programs in Iowa

Who oversees treatment

Iowa Health and Human Services, through its Division of Behavioral Health, leads, funds and monitors statewide substance use efforts. The agency also licenses and monitors substance use disorder treatment programs under standards set in the Iowa Administrative Code.

Prescription monitoring

The Iowa Prescription Monitoring Program collects and stores data on controlled substance prescriptions so authorized prescribers and pharmacists can review a patient's history. It is run by the Iowa Board of Pharmacy, part of the Department of Inspections, Appeals, and Licensing.

Public coverage for treatment

Iowa Medicaid is a major funder of behavioral health care in the state, and the managed care organizations it contracts with must provide mental health and substance use services.

Overdose Good Samaritan law

Iowa Code section 124.418, titled for persons seeking medical assistance for a drug-related overdose, provides the state's overdose help-seeking protections under the controlled substances chapter.

What to know about prescription stimulants

Prescription stimulants include amphetamines such as Adderall, Vyvanse and Dexedrine, and methylphenidate products such as Ritalin and Concerta. They are Schedule II controlled substances. Taken as prescribed they help many people with ADHD; misused, they can lead to dependence, sleep problems, anxiety and heart strain.

Treatment for stimulant addiction centers on behavioral approaches, with contingency management having some of the strongest evidence. Learn how stimulant addiction is treated.

Therapies that work for stimulant addiction

Unlike opioid addiction, stimulant addiction has no FDA-approved medication, so the therapy you get is the treatment. Look for programs near Iowa that offer contingency management, cognitive behavioral therapy or the Matrix Model, delivered with enough intensity: residential care or several sessions a week.

Using your insurance

Before you call a program, have your insurance card ready and ask three things: is the program in network, does the level of care need prior authorization, and what will you owe after the deductible. Plans regulated by federal parity law cannot set stricter limits on addiction care than on comparable medical care. Our insurance guides walk through major carriers.
