About us

CHI Health Mercyโ€™s Mercy McDermott Clinic provides a holistic approach to primary health and behavioral health care for children, adolescents, and adults in Council Bluffs, Iowa. Their integrated behavioral health program offers specialized psychiatric and chemical dependency services tailored to meet the unique needs of each client.

Behavioral Health Program

The behavioral health program at Mercy McDermott Clinic is designed to cater to adults requiring varying levels of care, from intensive residential treatment to flexible outpatient services. Key components of their program include:

  • Residential Treatment: For clients needing 24/7 medical monitoring, the residential treatment program provides comprehensive support from a multidisciplinary team. This includes around-the-clock medical and psychiatric care to stabilize clients before they transition to lower levels of care.
  • Partial Hospitalization and Outpatient Programs: These programs offer structured support while allowing clients to maintain some degree of independence. The levels of care are adjusted based on individual needs, goals, and progress in recovery. Services may encompass individual and group counseling, addiction education, and participation in 12 Step programs.
  • Aftercare Support: Recognizing the importance of continued support post-treatment, the clinic provides robust aftercare services. This includes connections and referrals to local, community-based programs and resources that promote long-term recovery and reintegration into society.

Specialized Services for Co-Occurring Conditions

The clinic is well-equipped to handle clients with co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders. Specialized services ensure that both conditions are treated concurrently, promoting more effective and comprehensive recovery outcomes.

Multidisciplinary Team Approach

A multidisciplinary team of healthcare providers, including primary care physicians, psychiatrists, nurses, and counselors, collaborates to deliver integrated care. This approach ensures that all aspects of a clientโ€™s healthโ€”both physical and mentalโ€”are addressed.

Comprehensive Outpatient Treatment

Outpatient services at Mercy McDermott Clinic are designed to be flexible and adaptive to each client’s recovery journey. Programs may include:

  • Individual and Group Counseling: Personalized and peer-supported sessions to address the root causes of addiction and mental health issues.
  • Addiction Education: Informative sessions to help clients understand their conditions and learn coping strategies.
  • Access to 12 Step Programs: Facilitated access to community-based 12 Step programs for ongoing support.
