About House of Mercy – Newton
The House of Mercy in Newton, Iowa, is a facility where people can seek assistance with substance use challenges. It’s part of the MercyOne network and is easy to get to for those in the surrounding area. They offer both outpatient and residential care, giving clients options based on their needs and preferences.
If you’re looking for something flexible, their outpatient programs might be just what you need. They offer intensive and extended care to help their clients stay on top of therapy and track. What I find impressive is how much effort they put into teaching people about risks associated with substance use and how to avoid them.
For anyone who needs more focused support, their residential program is a solid option. You’ll get therapy, life skills coaching, and case management all in one spot. Parents don’t have to worry about juggling childcare either since they’ve got a daycare right there on-site. The recovery process also includes 12-step meetings and programs to help people become more independent, which I think is really useful to those seeking lifelong recovery.
Starting treatment can feel like a huge challenge, but they’ve made it simple to get started with their walk-in assessments. Available three days a week—Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays—these assessments let individuals drop by and begin the process without any hassle. For those who want more privacy or need a specific time, private appointments are also offered.
