About EFR – Employee & Family Resources – West Des Moines
EFR – Employee & Family Resources is based in West Des Moines, Iowa. They offer substance use disorder assessments for adults and adolescents. They also offer mental health counseling, coordinate prevention services across four counties, and run a full service employee assistance program to support wellbeing within your workplace.
Substance use evaluations typically take 90 minutes to complete and they count toward court-ordered requirements. They can also be a vital tool in understanding your current state and what you need in terms of recovery support. The certified substance use disorder (SUD) counselors on the EFR staff can help you create a game plan for getting the help you need, whether it be weekly counseling or a referral to a more intensive treatment program. The kind and experienced counselors at EFR work with you to move through chemical dependency concerns, difficulty within your familial relationships, grief, depression and any other mental health matter impacting your daily functioning.
Something neat about EFR is that they focus on your role within your family, community and your workplace. It’s helpful to consider your job’s role in your mental state and in addiction recovery because your vocation forms a huge part of your habits and identity.
The team at EFR can seamlessly integrate your SUD treatment and mental health needs with their employee assistance program. This program includes services from financial and legal consultation to life coaching and mental health counseling. It also grants you access to Togetherall, an anonymous online community where you can support and be supported by people experiencing similar challenges to you.
