About Canvas Health Forest Lake

If you’re looking for part time substance use and mental health disorder treatment in Forest Lake, Minnesota, you can try Canvas Health Forest Lake. They work with adolescents and adults in separate programs to meet the specific needs of each stage of life.

Forest Lake is a warm, lakeside community and you’ll be treated in a welcoming environment without judgment. Your main method of recovery will be group therapy. Being in a group allows you to connect with people who are facing similar challenges. You get to share strategies and encourage each other.

I appreciate their focus on the connections between what you think, what you feel and your actions. They’ll teach you how these three things affect your recovery. You’ll learn to recognize and challenge unhelpful self-talk. They’ll help you shift your patterns of thinking. You’ll come away with a deep understanding of the link between mental health and substance use disorders.

Forest Lake is a beautiful place to recover, as it offers many opportunities to develop new healthy habits. You’ll find hockey, skating, ball fields, and three different golf courses at the sports center. You may discover you love trail running and take on the Hardwood Creek Regional Trail. The lake lends itself nicely to fishing or boating.

Canvas Health runs a specialized track for active military personnel, veterans, and their families who are facing the challenges of addiction. They understand what you’ve been through and how to help you find equilibrium again. You’ll be treated with cultural awareness and sensitivity.

Other Forms of Payment

Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.

Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.

Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.

Medicare is a federal program that provides health insurance for those 65 and older. It also serves people under 65 with chronic and disabling health challenges. To use Medicare for addiction treatment you need to find a program that accepts Medicare and is in network with your plan. Out of pocket costs and preauthorization requirements vary, so always check with your provider.

Military members, veterans, and eligible dependents have access to specific insurance programs that help them get the care they need. TRICARE and VA insurance can help you access low cost or no cost addiction and mental health treatment. Programs that accept military insurance often have targeted treatment focused on the unique challenges military members, veterans, and their families face.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

outpatient iconOutpatient
Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.

Treatments

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 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.

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 thumbnail image
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

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.

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.

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.

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.

The intake process does not seem very well-run right now. The intake form you fill out online says they will reach out within a business day to schedule and they took 4 days to call me, well outside of the time slot the form lets you choose (10am instead of 3-5pm). I work 3rd shift so of course I wasn't awake to answer. The person who picked up when I did call back seemed really rushed and hung up on me a few times, after leaving me on hold for 10 minutes. Finally I am told that there are no openings for the therapist profile I needed (female, for adults, etc.). I asked if there was anyone in their network that was within driving distance and I was recommended a Dr. in North Branch who only sees children.

My husband was having an affair with his drug counselor back in 2018. We moved out of the Forest Lake area and by the Grace of God we worked through the worst hell on earth. ONLY to be back in Forest Lake again. And now Brandon is using his charm to rock her boat. Again. Thank you for wrecking us twice Ms. Drug counselor.

If I could give them a negative star review I would.I brought my daughter there for counceling. However, her therapist took another position somewhere else. I was told her file would go to one of her co-workers and they would call me to setup appointments.I never got a phone call to schedule. When I called to schedule, I was told they would check and call me back the next day. After 4 days of no call backs, I called again and was told they didn't have availability.This is not looking out for your patients Mental Health. This is only caring about the payment they get from insurance!If you care about your own or your child's well being look somewhere else!!

If I could give a negative -1 I would. Complaint on Hanna Driver, for not believing in her patient/family and not investigating fully in to the matter. Educate yourself on domestic violence and trauma before you EVER treat another patient. Your lack of education and understanding caused more damage to this family and years of repair. I hope you get the training you need to actually help your patients verses causing detrimental harm.
