Medical briefcase icon 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.

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.

intensive-outpatient iconIntensive 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 iconAftercare

Rehab aftercare programs provide robust, wraparound care for clients who have completed detox and/or intensive inpatient rehab. Their services may vary widely, but typically include peer coaching, relapse prevention support, 12 step program induction, career counseling, and related community reintegration services. The client's case manager and recovery team coordinates with the client to identify the rehab aftercare services they need to promote their sustained sobriety.

12-step icon12-Step

12 step programs support long-term recovery through personal growth. Participants are expected to regularly attend 12 step meetings, which are free, anonymous, and accessible 365 days per year in most communities. They are also mentored by self-selected sponsors who help guide them through the steps of recovery, which are rooted in spiritual principles and designed to foster self-awareness, forgiveness, accountability, and acceptance. Religious affiliation is not required and specialized formats, including age and gender specific meetings, are available.

sober-living iconSober Living Homes

To provide an environment that encourages sobriety, a sober living home in Minnesota enforces strict rules. Residents must abstain from substance use, participate in support meetings and chores, abide by a set curfew, respect their housemates, and home staff, and agree to random drug tests. As long as they abide by the halfway house rules, residents are welcome to live in the home as long as they wish. Most stay at least 90 days.

heart-hands iconIntervention Services

A drug intervention in Minnesota is a planned effort to persuade an individual to quit using drugs or to enter a treatment program. The intervention may be led by a specialist provided by rehab intervention services. This interventionist should have training in addiction treatment and experience in the mental health profession. Their expertise can prove invaluable in leading the intervention discussion and guiding the family in appropriate next steps.

24-hour icon24-Hour Clinical Care

When individuals first enter rehab, they may be malnourished due to substance use. They may also suffer from illness, organ damage, or other medical issues. 24-hour clinical care in Minnesota provides on-call staff who can monitor these conditions and provide appropriate treatment 24/7. This setting helps individuals who need substance use disorder treatment get the physical as well as psychological support they need.

medically-assisted-detox iconMedically Assisted Detox

Drug and alcohol addiction often takes a heavy toll on one's body. Over time, a physical dependence can develop, meaning the body physiologically needs the substance to function. Detox is the process of removing drugs and/or alcohol from the body, a process that can be lethal if mismanaged. Medical detox is done by licensed medical professionals who monitor vital signs and keep you safe, healthy, and as comfortable as possible as you go through detox and withdrawal.

Heart icon Treatment

alcohol iconAlcoholism

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.

drugs iconDrug Addiction

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.

check iconDual 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.

opium iconOpioid Addiction

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.

substance-abuse iconSubstance Abuse

Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.

Hand holding medical sign icon Clinical Services

Therapists often use cognitive behavioral therapy in Minnesota to treat substance use disorders because it can help clients quickly identify challenges and ways to cope with them. Its structured, specific methods require fewer sessions than other types of therapy.

intervention iconGroup Therapy

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.

desert iconMotivational Interviewing

When conducting motivational interviewing in Minnesota, the interviewer encourages clients to discuss their reasons for making changes and their need for change in their lives. The interviewer's role is to listen and reflect, to evoke conversation about commitment to change.

life-skills iconLife Skills

For a successful recovery, life skills training is key. That's why rehab programs in Minnesota include training in social skills, self care, time management, financial management, and other daily life skills. By growing in these areas, you'll gain tools that allow you to navigate challenges and avoid relapse.

nicotine iconNicotine Replacement Therapy

The worst place to work at. The clients and staff both have the same mannerisms so it s extremely hard to differentiate the two. For hours that you work, they will not pay you out of spite!. They will not train you! This is a horrible place to do business with. Run! They should be shut down due to their negligence and their illiteracy when it comes to running a business that serves a vulnerable population. Everyone run!

Dear Seven, We are disheartened to hear about your feelings of bitterness and resentment. At Transformation House, we deeply value our employees as our most important asset and top priority. We strive to provide continuous training, constructive feedback, ample support, and competitive wages within the industry to ensure our team members are well-equipped and motivated to deliver the high-quality care our clients deserve. Regarding the circumstances of your departure, we have addressed your concerns directly and indirectly, including responding to the complaints you filed with the Secretary of State office. It's important to clarify that Transformation House fully compensated you for all the days and hours you worked. However, it's essential to note that the balance of paid time off (PTO) hours was not warranted due to the brief resignation notice provided, unauthorized absences during the notice period, and the premature departure from your role even before the end of the short notice. We genuinely appreciate the contributions you made during your tenure with us and regret that your experience ended on a negative note. As an organization committed to upholding fairness and transparency, we welcome the opportunity to learn from your feedback and continually improve our practices. Please know that our doors are always open for constructive dialogue, and we wish you the very best in your future endeavors. Sincerely, Cristian Chiesa Transformation House

Being I'm from Anoka, after leaving Stearns county, I felt very "at home" at the Transformation House. The step down program is wonderful for those who have no home to go back to while in their recovery journey. Dr.Patrick Dixon, I've kept though my recovery journey. I wouldn't have found him if it wasn't for Transformation House.

Zero Stars!! I went to Transformation House, after 30 days of inpatient treatment at a different Recovery inpatient location in the twin cities. Once at Transformation House, I spent a month and a half in the inpatient building A, then went to the outpatient program next door in building B. Both buildings were incredibly dirty. There were a couple good counselors and I learned from my peers during group work, but this place is really terrible run, and I think unsafe.The food was near rotten. The kitchen was atrocious. There is no cook. Clients take turns cooking food out of what s in the refrigerator and cupboards, which is so rotten sometimes, that while I was there, main person in charge of filling the pantry, was so frustrated, she just up and quit.The worst is that when I decided to transfer to another center, I told Transformation House, I be coming for my things around noon. I had been living there for 2 1/2 months.The manager there, decided to just throw my things in boxes and bags, and set out on the parking lot, where the garbage is. I lost over $1200 of property in 2 1/2 hours.When I called the police, they disregarded my report and concern, when I told them the location. He said, what do you expect? .Zero Stars for the Fridley police department on this one.

I really don't like the idea of my daughter not having her phone with her she has people that have a hard time getting ahold of her, and she has graduated from this place three times already I think this place just likes to get money from the state.

Black mold in the basement maintenance just paints over it people running out of medication taking forever to get refillsThe therapist is good and the doctor they use is also good but both have nothing to do with the place you can use them on your own without suffering through all the messed up things that you deal with if you go to treatment hereIf upper management didnt call us all filthy crackheads and look down on you as if your less then this place would be ok

Response from the owner1 year ago
Dear Joseph, Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback on your experience with our facility. We appreciate your input, although we are concerned about the inaccuracies presented in your review. Regarding medication refills, we prioritize the timely and efficient delivery of medications to our clients. Our dedicated staff works diligently to ensure that prescriptions are filled promptly, taking into account various factors such as prescription approvals, insurance coverage, availability, and coordination with external pharmacies. However, we have thoroughly reviewed our records, and we have not found any evidence of significant delays in medication refills during the period corresponding to your review. Regarding your statement about management speaking down to clients, we deeply value respect and dignity in our interactions with all individuals in our care. Our management team is trained to maintain a compassionate and professional approach when addressing concerns or enforcing facility rules. We believe in fostering a supportive and nurturing environment while also holding our clients accountable for respecting facility rules and meeting program expectations. This approach helps create a safe and conducive space for everyone's well-being and progress. We understand that living in a structured environment with rules and expectations can sometimes be challenging. However, it is essential to maintain a balance between individual autonomy and collective responsibility. Our facility rules are in place to ensure the safety, security, and overall effectiveness of our�program. We work diligently to communicate these rules and expectations clearly to all residents and provide support and guidance to help them meet the program requirements. Additionally, we would like to address the false accusation regarding the presence of mold in our bathrooms. The health and safety of our clients are of utmost importance to us, and we maintain rigorous cleanliness standards throughout our facility. Our bathrooms undergo regular inspections and cleaning protocols to ensure a hygienic environment. In fact, we recently underwent a routine inspection conducted by the Department of Health just a few weeks ago, and we are pleased to inform you that we successfully passed the inspection. This serves as a testament to our commitment to maintaining a clean and healthy facility for our clients. We take all reports and concerns about the condition of our facility seriously. However, our records indicate that there have been no recent reports or substantiated cases of mold in the bathrooms. Nevertheless, we will further investigate the matter to ensure there are no overlooked maintenance issues. If you have any specific information or evidence regarding the presence of mold, we kindly request that you provide it to us so that we can address the issue promptly and thoroughly. Our priority is to maintain a safe and comfortable environment for everyone in our care. We apologize if there was any misunderstanding or if you felt disrespected in any way. Our goal is to foster an environment of mutual respect and understanding. We encourage open and honest communication between our staff and clients to address any concerns or issues that may arise. We appreciate your feedback as it allows us to continually improve our services and ensure the satisfaction of all our clients.

Management and Counselors discriminate. Have been reported to Health and Human Services. Cannot get Meds straight and leave clients WITHOUT needed medication. The Management has no compassion for people's needs and emotional well-being. DO NOT GO THERE if you are a white man needing help. Christian, I left 2 messages with Ashley. No callback. I left 1 message with Carrie no callback. I sent 2 emails with no response. 1 minute after your response my partner got a call from his Therapist and she discontinued his care. We can now add retaliation to the list
