Before you
reach out.
How do I book a private addiction consultation in Des Moines?+
Call or text 515-373-4131, or email contact@theaftergroup.com. Ask to arrange the free, private 20-minute conversation. A brief description is enough.
What should I say in the first text?+
Your name, how to reach you and a brief concern. “I’m worried about my son” or “I need help with my drinking” is enough.
What happens during the free conversation?+
We’ll talk about the situation, what help you’re looking for and whether the work fits. If it does, we can discuss an appointment or service, availability and fees before you decide.
Can I contact you about someone else?+
Yes. A parent, partner or other adult can begin with their own concerns. We’ll discuss whose support is being arranged and consent before involving other people.
Should I send medical records in a text or email?+
Please start with a brief message and contact information. If records are needed, we’ll discuss an appropriate way to share them. Ordinary text and email aren’t the place to send a full treatment history.
Is this an emergency or crisis line?+
No. Calls and messages aren’t continuously monitored. Immediate danger needs emergency help through 911. The website footer also links to crisis support.
