This place changed my life! Without Karen Hutchins and Threase Meyer, I wouldn't be where I am today. I came in broken and left with a huge amount of healing in my life. Because of this place, I now have the tools to cope and help my own healing happen. I would recommend this place to anyone. If I needed counseling again, I would come here.Thank you, Northern Pines, for existing. So I could meet two wonderful counselors who transformed my life. Transform my life through guidance and teach me the tools to help me cope through life. Also, by showing tough care by letting me know when my attitude was wrong or when I was showing resistance. I can't say enough of how I am thankful for both of you. The DBT program was amazing, as well as the EMDR.Thank you for saving my life when I asked for help. Your support of phenomenal!

Worst place ever. I took someone there for counseling and they set her up with a lady who was leaving in about a month. Why would you set them with new patients if they were leaving. How does a person build a bond and begine to trust this person to open up and then have to start over? We went for the initial visit and was told they would have time to do it because they didnt have the paperwork completed. I told them I did the paperwork and to check the file. Of course they looked on the computer and after arguing they looked in the hard copy of the file. Tada paperwork was there. The lady said she would finish the evaluation before we left that day even if it was a few minutes later. (Took 15 min to get them to look foe the hard copy). Well 45 minutes later sge came out and saud we will finish next week and "only bill a half a session". I think not! I let her finish the da and when I asked for it so I could take it elsewhere they got upset that I wouldnt continue services with them.

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.

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.

Sliding scale payments are based on a client's income and family size. The goal is to make treatment affordable to everyone. By taking these factors into account, addiction recovery care providers help ensure that your treatment does not become a financial burden to you or your family, eliminating one barrier to care.

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

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

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.
adult-program thumbnail image
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.
seniors-program thumbnail image
Seniors Program
Nearly one million adults age 65 and older live with a substance use disorder. Treatment providers who specialize in senior care understand the social, psychological, and physical effects of aging and how they relate to recovery. They can help clients address particular challenges and risks they may face as they get older such as overdosing and medication interactions and dependencies.
hearing-impaired-program thumbnail image
Hearing Impaired Program
A sensory disability, such as hearing impairment, can compound the challenges of addiction recovery. Drug rehabs that are specially designed to accommodate the needs of persons with hearing impairments will include special accessibility features and accommodations to make treatment as comfortable and effective as possible. This may include access to American Sign Language interpreters.
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.

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.

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.

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.

How can someone that works in the field of Mental Health use her knowledge to destroy the one person that helped her to get hire for the job at Northern Pines Mental Health Center in Little Falls. As someone that use to own a business, I helped build her confidents up and how to go after this job if she really wanted the work. This was after she was turned down by other businesses for the same kind of work, which was closer to her in St. Cloud.I have ADHD and this person working in the field of mental health knew what buttons to push on me and how to destroy my love of baking and gardening. What I'm talking about is that I was storing perishable items in her basement and doing things for her in return. One day she takes my dormant bulbs and plants from the basement and put them outside to freeze on one of the last coldest day of the year. When I found the plants I was sad for they had already froze. I lose over $5000.00 worth of bulbs and plants, some are rare to the trade. She told me that she had an anxiety attack.Another time she put six boxes of canned food out to freeze and the same thing happen, by the time I found them they were starting to freeze. With no place to store the can food they became garbage.I celebrated her birthday on Wednesday August 2, 2017 I took her out to eat everything went well as far as I could tell. She asked me for four days of quiet time. A good gift to give someone. So I agreed.In the last few weeks I had been working on moving all of my belonging out of her house. So when I seen her August 3, 2017 Thursday night at Rollie's Bar & Grill for a dance, I asked her if she could take five plastic totes to her home. I put them into her car.Sometime on Saturday August 5, 2017 she took twelve of my plastic totes and five plastic pails that I had taken the time to packed and was ready to move from her house and put them at the end of her driveway for anyone to take. Which someone did take. These totes were pack full of clothes, cordless tools, electric testing tool, baking items, recipes, that I developed for over thirty year, (which I used for community meal that I volunteered for) The one thing that I missed the most was my Mother's recipe box that I treasured after her long battle with cancer, which she lost in the end. She told me that she tried to contact me by email, which she knew I didn't check for months at a time in the summer months and by cell phone which she knew also was not working the greatest. She did drop off some clean and dirty clothes where I had my blooming plants, which I took as nice of her for I needed clean clothes at the time, but no note saying what she was up to. That Saturday night she seen me at a ballroom dance and she still told me nothing about what she did. She go through these anxiety attacks and takes it out on destroying other people property.This is one of the reasons why she went to school in the Mental Health field to help figure out her own problems. After doing some research it turns out that a good percentage of the staff in Mental Health went to school to figure out their own problems and now they want to help you with your problems, when some are still dealing with unsolved issues of their own.From what I know if you don't like the Mental Health person that you are working with, then look else where, till you find one that you do like. Just to be clear I was not one of their cases at any of their branches for Northern Pines Mental Health Center. I just dated one of their staff and learned a lot about this one staff.
