My therapist and psychiatrist are both very invested in my mental health. I never have trouble scheduling an appointment when I need one, and the staff is very helpful. I will continue to come here for therapy and psychiatry.
About Nystrom & Associates – Woodbury
Nystrom & Associates is a mental health and substance use treatment center with locations in several states, including a clinic in Woodbury, Minnesota. The Woodbury location offers adult day treatment programs, dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), psychiatry and medication management. They also treat substance use in adolescents.
The facility accepts most major insurance plans. They also take Medicare and Medical Assistance (MA). If you’re unable to pay then they won’t deny you care. They offer a sliding scale fee schedule based on the size of your family and income.
The center is LGBTQIA+ friendly. They understand the unique mental health challenges that those in the LGBTQIA+ community face and are prepared to help with specialized programs.
There’s also an outpatient substance use disorder program for adolescents ages 12 to 18. The program has individual and group counseling, programs for families and care coordination. There’s also peer led support for alumni groups.
If you’re 18 or over then there is help available for mental health and substance use disorder through the intensive or regular outpatient programs. You’ll meet with counselors who are licensed alcohol and drug use counselors. You’ll get individual and group therapy, drug screening and family programs. You’ll also have an individualized plan and a care coordinator to help you navigate the process.
The counselors help you identify triggers that cause you to use substances as a coping mechanism. Once you’ve identified the triggers then you can work on healthier ways to cope with your emotions. In the adult substance use program, you’ll also learn about good nutrition, skills for managing your life and exercise.
The intensive outpatient program (IOP) includes group therapy three times a week for four hours each session. You’ll also have a one hour individual session for substance use counseling once a week. The program runs for about 10 weeks but is based on your progress.
The regular outpatient program has one four hour group therapy session once a week and a one-hour individual session once a week. This program also runs for about 10 weeks.
One former client noted that the staff is always professional. Another mentioned that this is her favorite location for getting help with her substance use disorder and mental health because the counselors are knowledgeable and resourceful.

We are elated to hear that our doctors have been able to help you with your problems. Thank you for sharing your positive experience with us!
There was only one receptionist and they had two other clients behind us. The therapist would not see my child due to us being 15 mins late staying he will need a longer time to do the assessment. Which he could have just break it into two appointments for us to finish the assessment. We have no control over a car accident on the highway that caused us to be late and it was raining. I even called them and I was on hold for so long that I left a voicemail stating I will be late. We live 30 mins away from Woodbury too and they expect us to reschedule for a later time or another day. I am upset because I did this appointment almost two months ago and I waited patiently to get my child to this appointment. Do better!

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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
