About Maple Lake Recovery Center

Maple Lake Recovery Centers provide substance abuse recovery programs designed for ages 13-18. We combine professional clinical services with a 12-step foundation to help Minnesota teens and their families recover from alcohol and drug addictions. We offer initial assessments, residential treatment and aftercare.

We offer a full range of adolescent recovery treatment services for substance abuse disorders including initial assessments, residential treatment and aftercare.

– 100% said they learned about addiction, healthy decision making and improved their family relationships
– 100% indicated that chemical dependency group and family sessions were helpful
– – *Results via Survey Monkey®

The Journey Begins Here

Teens struggling with addiction deserve a chance at a healthy life. Maple Lake Recovery Centers provide assessment and referral services for teens who are demonstrating signs of substance use disorders ranging from risky behavior to heavy abuse or dependence.

Our goal is simple: to help as many adolescents as possible recover from addiction and realize their dreams by developing the necessary skills to contribute to family, community, and the world. We continue to be recognized as a “provider of choice” for effective and unique adolescent substance abuse recovery services.

The admission process begins with a phone call to our admission staff to determine eligibility for services. Our goal is to help families and teens in need as soon as possible.

Since insurance is one of the biggest barriers to treatment, we work with families to enroll their children in either private or public health insurance exchange plans prior to admission, or compete a Rule 25 assessment. Rule 25 funding pays for treatment costs but does not cover medical care, medical appointments, or medications. Maple Lake Recovery Centers do not provide free medical care.

Our Adolescent Recovery Mission

Maple Lake Recovery Centers began in 1997 as a Minnesota non-profit treatment center created specifically to provide adolescents and their families a welcoming and comfortable environment to begin recovery from drug and alcohol addiction. Here, teens can live, grow, and learn essential principles, values, life skills and techniques for long-term future success.

Our goal remains firm: To help as many adolescents as possible recover from substance use disorders and realize their dreams by developing skills needed to contribute to their families, communities, and their world by living a meaningful, useful, and effective sober life. We continue to be recognized by our many partners as a special “provider of choice” of unique and effective adolescent and teen substance abuse recovery services.

A Message From Program Director Amie Youngdahl, BS, LADC

“As the Program Director of Maple Lake Recovery Centers, I am excited to provide our clients an opportunity to make positive changes and develop skills that will allow them to be successful in several life areas. We provide a structured and supportive environment that allows teens to not only develop recovery skills but also allows them to learn personal responsibility, improve relationships with family and gain confidence.”

My original review somehow disappeared but that s googles thing I m guessing. I am now four years and two months sober. So i learned a few things at mlrc, how to trash talk, how to fight, how to work on useless treatment packets, and that meeting helped me beyond my wildest dreams. I relapsed twice in this treatment center and it was way too easy to do. There are certain staff that treat you like a human being and actually care, and then there is staff that treat you like the dirt they walk on. this place is the worst place you can go to except for one thing. You get to go to nightly meetings as long as someone doesnt miss behave. i took my recovery seriously, and when i left staff told me that i wouldn t make it and that I would relapse. Which saying something like that didn t make me think I m going to prove them wrong . It made me think maybe they were right, what s the use living if I can t stay clean . This place has left a scar. If you care about a loved one, this is not the place to send them. If they are not willing to try recovery, this is definitely not the place. Please, do not go here, i want to save as many kids as possible from feeling placed in a pecking order, bullied, put down. The list goes on. The only thing I learned from this place was that meeting can save your life, and for showing me that I am grateful. Jessica was condescending and maybe that s her way of trying to care for the kids. But those kids need support and structure, not degrading comments.

Location

Accepted Insurance

Maple Lake Recovery Center works with several private insurance providers and also accepts private payments when possible, please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

Other Forms of Payment

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.

Financial aid can take many forms. Centers may have grants or scholarships available to clients who meet eligibility requirements. Programs that receive SAMHSA grants may have financial aid available for those who need treatment as well. Grants and scholarships can help you pai for treatment without having to repay.

dollar-outline iconFinancing available

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.

Addiction Treatments

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.
12-step icon12-Step
12-step programs are addiction recovery models based on Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). A number of substance abuse programs (including some drug and alcohol rehab centers) use the 12 steps as a basis for treatment. Beginning steps involve admitting powerlessness over the addiction and creating a spiritual basis for recovery. Middle steps including making direct amends to those who've been hurt by the addiction, and the final step is to assist others in addiction recovery in the same way. 12-Step offshoots including Narcotics Anonymous (NA), Cocaine Anonymous (CA), Dual Recovery Anonymous (DRA), Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous (SLAA) and Gamblers Anonymous (GA).

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.

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.

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.

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

teen-program thumbnail image
Teen Program
Teen programs are designed to address the unique pressures teens face, pressures that can drive them to experiment with dangerous, addictive substances. They need programs that meet them exactly where they are and give them tools for long-term recovery. Therapy can help teenagers understand and work through underlying issues so they can reclaim the life ahead of them.
program-for-men thumbnail image
Program For Men
Men face specific challenges and concerns when seeking addiction treatment. Gender-specific recovery programs help them tackle these issues head-on in an environment that's focused, targeted, and distraction-free. It also gives them the opportunity to connect with and learn from other men who have been through a similar journey and can offer support for the next step.
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.

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.

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.

Recreational therapy (aka therapeutic recreation) uses creative and fun activities to help with addiction recovery. Recreational therapists lead patients in entertaining and engaging activities like sports or games; art (drawing, painting, sculpture); drama, music, and dance; and/or community outings (field trips) to improve patients' physical, social, and emotional well-being.

At Maple Lake, they have nice staff who are easygoing. After I graduated from the program, I was a renewed person with the desire to live clean. Thank you all for everything you did for me while I was there.

I was in this place for around 3-5 months. I experienced lotta things and have been to many treatments before and l have never actually seen workers care bout they clients like these workers do. I seen lotta guys talk bad about stuff cause they don t get their way. I really thought l didn t learned nothing from this place but l actually did. I got put into the situations of using again and yes l relapse but l was also able to stop from letting myself go to deep into addiction cause of the skills l learned from this place. You can t really get help and better your self if you ain t really want the help to better yourself. I miss this place place and the nice & funny stuff. My fav stuff was always Paul this a good place but l keep seeing angry people commenting bad bout this place and tbh l think they just doing that cause they didn t get their way oh and btw lm 8 months sober now & also l wanna thank Ashley and everyone in this place that helped and thought me the skills l needed to maintain sober l hope everyone is doing good

I had a good experience here, i spent a little under 3 months here and I felt cared for and like I was given the skills i needed for a successful recovery. The counselors and clinical team are fantastic at what they do, its nice to have a team that actually cares about me, I would recommend MLRC.

Second review now, for some reason my first one disappeared but don t worry, I ll leave a second review free of charge. This place should be closed, and the lady s running this joint should not have their positions. When I think of a helpful counselor who really cares about their kids MLRC staff is a joke. You gals over there running the place have no clue what you re doing and you re not helping anyone. I bet you guys even know you don t help. To bad you guys won t do anything to change so you can actually start to help people and their addictions.

Response from the owner3 years ago
Mohamad, thank you for your review! Unfortunately we can't control whether reviews get deleted or not on third-party websites like Google, so we're not sure why a review may have disappeared.

I give this corrupted household a .0 out of 5 . Mlrc is a horrible place to go for treatment and support , everyday it was toxic in the girls home. I would never suggest going here even the person that suggested me to go there said she regretted it and wont ever send anybody to that place again. The food was sometimes uncooked and thats jus nasty, mlrc is so unorganized and made me feel horrible about myself in MANY situations. Theyre techniques to try and calm the house down is a joke honestly . Overall this place is not recommended 100% in my opinion. But i miss you sherri
