Levels of Care

Inpatient

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 Homes

Sober Living Houses (SLHs), aka sober homes or halfway houses, are safe, substance-free, supportive living facilities for those recovering from substance abuse. Ideal for those who've just been through inpatient or outpatient treatment, SLHs are supervised environments with rules that support sobriety, such as curfews, shared chores, and therapeutic meetings. Residents are also often trained on life skills and coping skills to make it easier to transition into society. SLHs also provide a strong sense of community that can lead to the kind of deep and lasting connections with other sober individuals that supports a new, healthy lifestyle.

Intervention Services

Intervention services helps family or friends of addicts stage an intervention, which is a meeting in which loved ones share their concerns and attempt to get an addict into treatment. Professional intervention specialists can help loved ones organize, gather, and communicate with an addict. They can guide intervention participants in describing the damage the addict's behavior is causing and that outside help is necessary to address the addiction. The ideal outcome of an intervention is for the addict to go to rehab and get the help they need.

Treatment

Alcoholism

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.

Drug Addiction

Drug addiction is defined as an inability to stop using drugs even though it causes negative consequences in your life. Drug rehab in Minnesota provides treatment for drug addiction in a variety of settings including inpatient treatment and outpatient treatment.

Dual 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 and Substance 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 Addiction

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.

Clinical Services

Experiential 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.

Family 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.

Group 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.

Individual 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.

Life Skills

Life skills trainings involve all the skills a person must have in order to function successfully in the world. These include time management, career guidance, money management, and effective communication. Truly successful addiction recovery is based on the ability to not only live substance-free, but to thrive. Life skills teaches the practical necessities of functioning in society, which sets clients up for success in life, and therefore sobriety.

Motivational Interviewing

Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a clinical approach to helping people with substance abuse issues and other conditions shift behavior in positive ways. It is more goal-oriented than traditional psychotherapy, as MI counselors directly attempt to get clients to consider making behavioral change (rather than wait for them to come to conclusions themselves). Its primary purpose is to resolve ambivalence and help clients become able to make healthy choices freely.

Trauma 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.

Years ago i was in this place staff was friendly but stern. It helped me get to where i am now. Thanks

Overall a 2.5/5 but I rounded up to 3 to be nice. First and foremost, this place is severely underfunded and either doesn t follow through with the things they claim they ll provide or has to discontinue the things they start. They sort of feel like an airplane that s taken off without its wings fully constructed and they re trying to figure things out as they go along! Some of the staff here are nice, like the nurses and the treatment coordinator Rachel and her administrative assistant Shaelyn(sp?), however other staff are under-qualified and incompetent. There are even a few staff there that are downright awful and go out of their way to be rude to residents/clients and/or exude negative energy everywhere they go. Programming is average/satisfactory, but don t expect to learn a ton here unless you re completely new to all education around mental + chemical health because it s pretty basic stuff. Lots of downtime with a weird structure that is always changing. This place might have its heart in the right place but they definitely struggle to provide a holistic, healing, and deeply moving treatment experience which I feel like is mostly due to their lack of money and certain incompetent and/or rude employees. By the way the only meals they cook for you are dinner and salads consist of fruit and marshmallows 99% of the time! Lunch options when I was there mainly consisted of cheap junk food like ramen and microwaveable macaroni & cheese, although right as I was leaving (and I did complete the program successfully, spending 99 days there) they were switching over to bagged lunches that were supposed to be healthier so hopefully that is something they will actually be able to sustain. They also started taking clients to the gym 3 times a week after getting a membership for the house, which is good. Otherwise, they used to have a cooking class and now they don t and they told us for months on end they would take us on an outing to Como Zoo in St. Paul only to finally admit they would never be able to afford that. It seems like while some things get put in place, others get removed, and overall they are extremely inconsistent in their rules and policies. Their education and coaching is decent, but not wonderful. I have so much I could say about this place but it s too much to remember right now so I will just reinforce the deconstructed airplane struggling to fly analogy to best describe it. The intention to run a good facility is there, but the follow-through is about 50% hence my rating of 2.5. There are definitely better IRTSes out there, but if you must go here as I did on commitment, you will survive. I would just recommend advocating relentlessly for yourself and not tolerating the intolerable. Also, they do accept just about anyone there regardless of criminal history and whether people are trying to change so although men and women are separated by floors/units, I would encourage women especially to stick with other women as much as possible and keep a distance from the men since many of them are total predators! Good luck, everybody.

They offered cooking class ever Thursday. Groups were very insightful and I could take alot of information home to my family. Austin Manor helped improve my quality of way. I was able to utilize the time to engage in creating expression through writing. I really appreciated the staff very accurate and thorough in seeing to your process of recovery.

Poorly run as of Jan 2019. I was once deprived of my medication for four days due to administrative apathy. This led to a staff change and appeared to resolve the problem. Following that, however, leadership on site felt too comfortable with distorting my message of demanding improvement to suit it's own agenda, going so far as to add details to the record that never happened (supervisory politics). I would say, "Adequate performance is expected, but always strive for better." Society can be judged by how the vulnerable are given care and individuals in that society can be judged by their principles.
