What the SAMHSA Record Shows About Plains Area Mental Health Center

Plains Area Mental Health Center is a substance use treatment operated by Private non-profit organization in Cherokee, Iowa. The facility's N-SUMHSS record lists 2 primary care modalities (outpatient, telehealth), which shapes both how treatment is delivered and how intake is scheduled. Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) is reported as available, meaning FDA-approved medications such as methadone, buprenorphine, or naltrexone may be combined with counseling for opioid or alcohol use disorder. The full postal address on file is 900 North 2nd Street, Suite 200, Cherokee, IA 51012.

On the services side, the facility self-reports 11 distinct service lines (Co-occurring disorder treatment, Cognitive behavioral therapy, Intensive outpatient, Medication-assisted treatment (MAT), Mental health services, Motivational interviewing, Outpatient, Substance use treatment, Suicide prevention services, Telehealth, Trauma-informed care), 3 substance or condition categories treated (Alcohol, General substance use disorders, Opioids), and 8 clinical treatment approaches (Brief intervention, Cognitive behavioral therapy, Matrix Model, Motivational interviewing, Relapse prevention, Substance use disorder counseling, Telemedicine/telehealth therapy, Trauma-related counseling). It serves 1 specific population group (Persons with co-occurring disorders) with 1 language of care (Sign language services for the deaf and hard of hearing). Those figures give a rough signal of programmatic breadth, a higher number of approaches and populations usually indicates more structured clinical programming rather than a single-modality operation.
