SATUCI General Information
The Agency SATUCI,
the Substance Abuse Treatment Unit of Central Iowa has been offering
treatment and prevention services since 1980. The agency is licensed by the
Iowa Department of Public Health, Division of Substance Abuse, providing
services to persons from SATUCI's services include substance
abuse evaluation and treatment, as well as a host of prevention activities.
Our counselors are certified by the Iowa Board of Substance Abuse
Certification. It is our goal to provide clients
with quality individualized and effective services based on their needs. SATUCI's evaluation process meets
the requirement of the OWI law, which mandates that offenders receive a
substance abuse evaluation. The evaluation process allows
SATUCI to understand and assess existing substance abuse problems to
determine the most appropriate way for the agency to address individual
client needs. Sessions, normally one hour in length, review the situation of
the client being evaluated. SATUCI offers three types of
outpatient treatment, which vary in their intensity of service. These
include: Intensive Outpatient, Extended Outpatient, and Continuing Care.
Treatment services are offered in group and individual sessions, based on a
client's particular needs. The confidentiality of client
records is protected by applicable Federal law. Generally, the agency may not
disclose to anyone outside the program that an individual is a client at
SATUCI, or disclose any information identifying the client as an alcohol or
drug abuser, unless a specific release of information form has been signed by
the client. Fees for treatment counseling
services are based on a sliding fee scale, which considers a client's income
in determining the cost for treatment services at SATUCI. The agency accepts
Medicaid reimbursement and many health insurance policies cover our treatment
services. To ensure that benefits are available, clients should contact their
health insurance carrier, prior to their first appointment at SATUCI, to set
up pre-authorization. Fees for OWI evaluations, mandated
by Spanish language bilingual services
are available on a limited basis for evaluations and treatment services. After a client has completed services at SATUCI, a follow-up is conducted to determine treatment outcome, and any further needs which the client has. These follow-ups may be conducted by telephone or by mail. Problems? Contact us: SATUCI |
