What the SAMHSA Record Shows About YSS Ember Recovery

YSS Ember Recovery is a substance use treatment operated by Private non-profit organization in Ames, Iowa. The facility's N-SUMHSS record lists 2 primary care modalities (residential, telehealth), which shapes both how treatment is delivered and how intake is scheduled.

The full postal address on file is 420 Kellogg Avenue, Ames, IA 50010.

On the services side, the facility self-reports 10 distinct service lines (12-step facilitation, Co-occurring disorder treatment, Cognitive behavioral therapy, Mental health services, Motivational interviewing, Residential, Substance use treatment, Suicide prevention services, Telehealth, Trauma-informed care), 3 substance or condition categories treated (Alcohol, General substance use disorders, Opioids), and 10 clinical treatment approaches (12-step facilitation, Anger management, Brief intervention, Cognitive behavioral therapy, Contingency management/motivational incentives, Motivational interviewing, Relapse prevention, Substance use disorder counseling, Telemedicine/telehealth therapy, Trauma-related counseling).

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.
