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 |
