About Agassiz Associates PLLC: Anvinson Nicole C

Agassiz Associates provides behavioral health and drug rehab services to adolescents, men, and women living with a behavioral health struggle or substance use disorder. They’re located in Grand Forks, North Dakota. Care is offered in an outpatient setting and there are also DUI seminars and addiction education seminars for recovering individuals and their families.

The low-intensity outpatient program caters to adolescents and adults and utilizes the Matrix Model. This model centers around evidence-based practices including cognitive behavioral therapy that encourages you to think about where your addiction issues stem from. Pinpointing the catalyst will allow you to treat the root of your addiction and not just the symptoms.

The high-intensity outpatient program provides more robust support which also aims to help you get to the root of your substance use. You’ll work on new behaviors and thinking patterns that will encourage a life of lasting, intentional sobriety.

With both programs, you’ll receive individual and group counseling sessions, education, and relapse prevention assessment. These other therapies require you to reflect and plan on your path forward. As you move out of the outpatient program, you’ll find additional support through the professional aftercare services offered here.

I had an okay experience with my therapist. However, the answering service employee was less than kind. She was so rude, it actually shocked me. Fortunately, I have private insurance and will take my care elsewhere.

Levels of Care

Outpatien

Intensive Outpatient

Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) are for those who want or need a very structured treatment program but who also wish to live at home and continue with certain responsibilities (such as work or school). IOP substance abuse treatment programs vary in duration and intensity, and certain outpatient rehab centers will offer individualized treatment programs.

Aftercare

Intervention Services

Intervention services offer expert insights into the planning and execution of a drug intervention in North Dakota. Applying expert knowledge, an intervention specialist can develop an intervention plan that is tailored to the needs of the family. This customized, expert approach can help guide the individual to treatment without harming their self-esteem or putting barriers between family members.

Medically Assisted Detox

Drug and alcohol addiction often takes a heavy toll on one's body. Over time, a physical dependence can develop, meaning the body physiologically needs the substance to function. Detox is the process of removing drugs and/or alcohol from the body, a process that can be lethal if mismanaged. Medical detox is done by licensed medical professionals who monitor vital signs and keep you safe, healthy, and as comfortable as possible as you go through detox and withdrawal.

Treatments

The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.

The goal of drug rehab in North Dakota is to help individuals overcome addiction. These programs provide treatment for both mind and body and teach participants how to live healthy, productive lives without drug abuse.

A combined mental health and substance abuse rehab has the staff and resources available to handle individuals with both mental health and substance abuse issues. It can be challenging to determine where a specific symptom stems from (a mental health issue or an issue related to substance abuse), so mental health and substance abuse professionals are helpful in detangling symptoms and keeping treatment on track.

Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.

Programs

Adult Program

Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.

Young Adult Program

Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.

Clinical Services

Unlike some therapeutic methods, cognitive behavioral therapy in North Dakota focuses on the present rather than the past. The goal is to move forward with new patterns of thinking and behavior that are healthy and productive.

Your dialectical behavior therapy sessions in North Dakota will include individual and group formats. During group sessions, you may participate in group exercises such as role play. You'll also have homework assignments each week to practice the skills you're learning and to keep a diary of your emotions. Diary entries will guide your weekly one on one sessions.

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.

Motivational interviewing helps you find internal motivation to change. If you're feeling insecure about your ability to change or ambivalent about the need for change, this method can help you explore your options and motivations.

Trauma therapy aims to help you heal from the emotional and physical effects that are common after witnessing or experiencing a traumatic event. Working with a therapist, you learn to process the experience and develop healthy coping strategies that reduce your anxiety and improve your self confidence.

Whether a marriage or other committed relationship, an intimate partnership is one of the most important aspects of a person's life. Drug and alcohol addiction affects both members of a couple in deep and meaningful ways, as does rehab and recovery. Couples therapy and other couples-focused treatment programs are significant parts of exploring triggers of addiction, as well as learning how to build healthy patterns to support ongoing sobriety.

Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.

Learning life skills in rehab is crucial to recovery. Addiction interferes with basic life skills, and many who are addicted are at a loss as to how to navigate daily life. Life skills training during rehab reteaches these skills so you can leave treatment with the tools you need to cope with day to day challenges.

Incorporating recreational therapy into your addiction treatment program helps you rediscover joy, build healthy habits, and develop new interests. You may be exposed to activities like yoga, painting, and group games to encourage social interaction and improve your mood. These are essential skills for a successful recovery journey.
