About The Village Family Service Center
The Village Family Service Center is the mental health counseling center in Fargo, North Dakota. They offer various outpatient (OP) substance use disorder treatment with licensed counselors trained to help individuals and families. The addiction program helps adults struggling with alcohol or drug use get the support they need through a comprehensive and confidential outpatient program.
Medical staff and licensed addiction counselors provide care for adults 18 and older. They are a nonprofit that begins your chemical dependency treatment with an evaluation or diagnostic assessment. This is the foundation of their customized outpatient treatment program. You may begin treatment in a partial hospitalization program or an intensive outpatient program.
Many go on to a low intensity outpatient treatment program before engaging in relapse prevention groups to support and promote sobriety and long-term recovery. Family education and support are available to families whose lives have been impacted by loved ones with substance use disorders or mental health conditions. The two hour chemical dependency evaluation begins your program.
Partial hospitalization programs (PHP) are provided 20 hours per week. Intensive outpatient programs (IOP) are designed to offer greater flexibility with day and evening groups available. The relapse prevention group is a continuing care group after you’ve completed your primary treatment. The group is open to people who have completed their program here or at another facility. When needed, you can also take part in a DUI seminar for education that meets the requirements of the courts or DOT.
They are a Blue Cross/Blue Shield preferred provider and work with other major health insurance companies including TriCare and TriWest. They’re also a North Dakota SUD voucher provider and may have additional financial assistance available when you qualify.

Levels of Care
Outpatient
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.
Inpatient
Intensive Outpatient
Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) are for those who want or need a very structured treatment program but who also wish to live at home and continue with certain responsibilities (such as work or school). IOP substance abuse treatment programs vary in duration and intensity, and certain outpatient rehab centers will offer individualized treatment programs.
Aftercare Support
12-Step
Recovery models based on 12 step programming combine intensive peer support with an emphasis on personal growth. Participants are expected to select a peer sponsor to mentor them through the recovery journey. 12 step recovery strategies are rooted in spiritual principles to promote self-compassion, acceptance, and accountability. Regular attendance at group meetings, which are free, anonymous, and open to the public, is expected. Specialized formats, including programs for seniors, youth, and families, are available in most communities.
Sober Living Homes
Residents of a sober living home in North Dakota are often transitioning from inpatient treatment programs, but they're not quite ready to return home and live on their own. While living in the halfway house, residents must follow a strict set of rules and schedules, including maintaining attendance in recovery groups, participating in household duties, and, above all, remaining sober. Breaking established house rules can result in eviction.
Partial Hospitalization Program
In a partial hospitalization program (PHP), you'll experience intensive rehab with the ability to return home each day. PHP treatment is recommended for those with moderate to severe addictions that don't require 24/7 care. A partial hospitalization program serves as an alternative to inpatient hospitalization or as a step-down option. Throughout the week, you'll attend meetings for 4-8 hours each day, up to 3-5 days a week, for an average of 90 days. Medication management, evidence-based therapies, and relapse prevention are typical components of PHP treatment.
Medically Assisted Detox
Medically assisted detox involves weaning your body off alcohol and drugs in a medically supervised environment. This is often the first step in the addiction recovery process. Abruptly stopping intake of alcohol and some drugs (like benzodiazepines and opioids) can cause uncomfortable side effects. In severe cases, withdrawal symptoms can even be dangerous. To minimize risks and discomfort, a team of medical professionals will monitor you 24/7, and may provide medications if necessary to ease potential withdrawal symptoms.

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
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.
Clinical Services
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
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.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy
Your dialectical behavior therapy sessions in North Dakota will include individual and group formats. During group sessions, you may participate in group exercises such as role play. You'll also have homework assignments each week to practice the skills you're learning and to keep a diary of your emotions. Diary entries will guide your weekly one on one sessions.
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.
Motivational Interviewing
Motivational interviewing helps you find internal motivation to change. If you're feeling insecure about your ability to change or ambivalent about the need for change, this method can help you explore your options and motivations.
Trauma Therapy
Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) is an evidence-based treatment for children and adolescents impacted by trauma and their parents or caregivers. The child and caregiver learn new skills to process thoughts and feelings around the traumatic experience. TF-CBT can resolve a broad array of emotional and behavioral difficulties associated with trauma, including PTSD.
Couples Therapy
Relationships between couples, whether you are married or not, are not easy, no matter how perfect you are for each other. In the course of daily interactions with your spouse or significant other, there are bound to be "troublesome" moments of confrontation, pain, aggravation and heartache. So, in addition to working with individuals, The Village is also here to work with couples. Their counselors can help you start treating the relationship you have with your spouse or significant other as the most important relationship in your life.
Eye Movement Desensitization And Reprocessing
EMDR involves reprocessing memories that have essentially become stuck in the brain. Sessions involve stimulating the hemispheres of the brain through visual, auditory, or tactile means until the memory is less disturbing and more positive thoughts and beliefs replace the prior negative thoughts and beliefs.
Family Therapy
A cornerstone of their work is Family Systems Therapy, which focuses on the family rather than the individual. They believe the symptoms of an individual in a family are the result of the pathology of the family, rather than the pathology of the individual. Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment.
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.
Nutrition Therapy
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.
Recreational Therapy
Incorporating recreational therapy into your addiction treatment program helps you rediscover joy, build healthy habits, and develop new interests. You may be exposed to activities like yoga, painting, and group games to encourage social interaction and improve your mood. These are essential skills for a successful recovery journey.
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.
