Medical briefcase icon Levels of Care

inpatient iconInpatient

Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.

sober-living iconSober Living Homes

To provide an environment that encourages sobriety, a sober living home in Minnesota enforces strict rules. Residents must abstain from substance use, participate in support meetings and chores, abide by a set curfew, respect their housemates, and home staff, and agree to random drug tests. As long as they abide by the halfway house rules, residents are welcome to live in the home as long as they wish. Most stay at least 90 days.

heart-hands iconIntervention Services

A drug intervention in Minnesota is a planned effort to persuade an individual to quit using drugs or to enter a treatment program. The intervention may be led by a specialist provided by rehab intervention services. This interventionist should have training in addiction treatment and experience in the mental health profession. Their expertise can prove invaluable in leading the intervention discussion and guiding the family in appropriate next steps.

24-hour icon24-Hour Clinical Care

When individuals first enter rehab, they may be malnourished due to substance use. They may also suffer from illness, organ damage, or other medical issues. 24-hour clinical care in Minnesota provides on-call staff who can monitor these conditions and provide appropriate treatment 24/7. This setting helps individuals who need substance use disorder treatment get the physical as well as psychological support they need.

check iconDual Diagnosis

Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.

mental-health iconMental Health

Mental health rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from mental illnesses like bipolar disorder, clinical depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, and more. Mental health professionals at these facilities are trained to understand and treat mental health issues, both in individual and group settings.

inpatient-file iconCognitive Behavioral Therapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.

dialectical iconDialectical Behavior Therapy

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a modified form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a treatment designed to help people understand and ultimately affect the relationship between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. DBT is often used for individuals who struggle with self-harm behaviors, such as self-mutilation (cutting) and suicidal thoughts, urges, or attempts. It has been proven clinically effective for those who struggle with out-of-control emotions and mental health illnesses like Borderline Personality Disorder.

intervention iconGroup Therapy

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.

mental-health iconIndividual Therapy

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.

house-medical iconTrauma Therapy

Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.

couples-therapy iconCouples Therapy

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.

family iconFamily Therapy

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.

life-skills iconLife Skills

For a successful recovery, life skills training is key. That's why rehab programs in Minnesota include training in social skills, self care, time management, financial management, and other daily life skills. By growing in these areas, you'll gain tools that allow you to navigate challenges and avoid relapse.

Nutrition Therapy

Nutrition therapy, aka medical nutrition therapy (MNT), is a way of treating physical, emotional, and medical conditions through diet. Specific dietary plans are designed by professional nutritionists or registered dietitians, and patients follow them in order to positively affect their physical and mental health.

recreational-therapy iconRecreational Therapy

Recreational therapy supports addiction recovery by giving you enjoyable activities that improve your overall well being. Treatment centers may include team sports, arts and crafts, or outdoor activities to help reduce your cravings, alleviate stress, and build a supportive community network that helps maintain long term sobriety.

medical-detox iconExperiential Therapy

Experiential therapy is a form of therapy in which clients are encouraged to surface and work through subconscious issues by engaging in real-time experiences. Experiential therapy departs from traditional talk therapy by involving the body, and having clients engage in activities, movements, and physical and emotional expression. This can involve role-play or using props (which can include other people). Experiential therapy can help people process trauma, memories, and emotion quickly, deeply, and in a lasting fashion, leading to substantial and impactful healing.

nicotine iconNicotine Replacement Therapy

Nicotine replacement therapy in Minnesota addresses physical dependence on nicotine. Paired with support systems to address the psychological aspects of dependence, they can be an effective tool to help you quit smoking. Options include nasal sprays, inhalers, gum, and lozenges.

Completely biased.

The staff are inexperienced, poor training and a prevalent revolving door,staff and residents. If you are poor or minority...this is not the place for you. The bias in this place is astounding. I wouldn't leave my dog in their care, much less a loved one.

Never seen so many come and go much worse than when they came. The level of failure at this place is abhorrent, it's obvious they just want your money.

These guys are not the best. When I first arrived, they make you leave your luggage in the main office so they can go thru it and take out any objectionable material (ie: sharp instruments) etc. Then they take your clothes up to your room, if I remember right there are three floors in the building (basement, the main level, first floor and second floor). You are given a key to lock your door so no one steals your stuff.There is roughly 10 - 15 residents, each person shares a room with another person. There is single rooms too.The staff do check on you at random times of the night too.After I checked in, I had to immediately pre-pay/self-pay for my entire 3-month stay up-front.Also, you meet with a lot of people that first day and I found out that whatever I said, the therapists and behavioral health technicians would use it against you.The meals were taken in a big room with tables and chairs. Before your meal you had to literally wash your hands, you could not dish-up your food until your hands were washed. You were monitored by staff for compliance. If you did not wash your hands, you would be scolded by the staff and not allowed to dish-up (see previous sentence). Each person was to volunteer making the day's food with the head cook too..There is one bathroom per floor for resident and staff use. There is a common area with chairs and a couch that people sit on to watch television. In-formal group discussion is held there too going over topics for the day (cooking, cleaning) etc. There is a big white board with all resident's names on it in this common area also.There is no wireless internet for your computer or phone. There is wired internet though that once you gain permission, you can use their computer.You would take your psychiatric medicine at night, in-front of one or two behavioral heath technicans that were in the office at the time you went in. They would mark on a sheet your name, the medicine given and the time it was given at. They would watch you swallow it.The next day they would require a special drug test to see if you were taking your psychiatric medicine! What? That makes no sense.They can't seem to tolerate the smallest behavioral things and will kick you out of the building for anything, with the option of staying outside on the street, going to the local Essentia Health Hospital in Duluth or going to the city jail. When you come from a long distance away, what do you do then?They want you to learn the city bus system to be more independent, forcing you too no matter what. They have groups they allow you to go to like alcoholics anonymous, narcotics anonymous etc.They want you to do your laundry once per week also, their washers and dryers are locatrd in the basement that you go down a long flight of stairs to get too.Overall, the non-caring attitude I experienced when the smallest things happened to me, which caused a major freak-out by the staff (including their treatment director Christine), was not good.I can't recommend them for residential treatment and as such, give them a 1 out of 5 stars.Whomever is reading this, a potential client or mental health doctor of some kind, don't think for one second the treatment center staff who work here will help you by teaching you skills for daily life.They will kick you out in a second, like yesterday's garbage if something happens (major or minor). The staff will all tell you something different about coming back too, ie: just do this or that for a few days and you can come back. Nope.They do issue refunds of your money though, if you are a self pay, pre-paid client.From my experience, if you do choose to go here, it's on you. That is my advice.
