This facility offers hope to those struggling with opioid use disorder through quality and individualized treatment. This includes men, pregnant women and mothers in recovery.

Their individualized recovery plan incorporates medication assisted treatment. This is the gold standard in evidence based opioid addiction recovery.

This enables you to undergo counseling. Their addiction counseling uses cognitive behavioral therapy in individual, group and family formats. This helps you address the root causes of your addiction and learn to manage stress and triggers without drugs. It’s especially convenient that they support both in-person and virtual counseling.

This facility is CARF and Joint Commission accredited. This validates their commitment to the highest standard of quality care delivery.

Their comprehensive services include medical screening/assessment, laboratory monitoring and case management. The latter involves care coordination and connection to essential community recovery services. This may include medical, educational and vocational services.

Overall, their multidisciplinary approach to treatment heals the mind, soul and body. This is made possible by a highly dedicated recovery team comprising physicians, nurses and counselors as well as case managers and administrative staff. These experts remain tightly integrated and informed on the changing needs of their shared patients. Comments from past clients reflect mixed experiences with the majority commending their overall quality of service.

Location

Accepted Insurance

Valhalla Place 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.

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.

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.

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.
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.
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.

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.

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 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.

Programs

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.
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.
program-for-women thumbnail image
Program For Women
Rehabs for women provide a safe, nurturing space for female clients to heal. These treatment programs consider the specific obstacles that women can face during recovery and place a special emphasis on mental, social, physical, and reproductive health. They explore how each woman's experience has shaped the trajectory of their substance use, addressing issues such as sexual abuse and past trauma.
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.
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.
hiv-aids-program thumbnail image
HIV/AIDS Program
HIV/AIDS programs support disease prevention and management in high-risk individuals in recovery. Individuals who engage in intravenous drug use and other addictive behaviors are at a higher risk of becoming infected with HIV. Rehab centers that specialize in treating this population typically have a high number of nurses, physicians, and psychiatrists on staff who can make sure both their medical and mental health needs are met.
lgbtq-program thumbnail image
LGBTQ Program
Recovery is most successful when clients feel accepted and validated by their peers and treatment providers. Facilities that offer LGBTQ-inclusive programming are committed to creating a safe space where everyone can grow and recover without fear of judgment or discrimination. They will have dedicated policies in place to create a safe and supportive environment that fosters free expression.
military-program thumbnail image
Military Program
Serving in the military is both mentally and physically challenging, and can result in trauma that persists even after combat ends. Military programs are tailored to the specific and often complex needs of active duty personnel, veterans, and military families. Clients often access these programs through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).

Clinical Services

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.

Qualified therapists in Minnesota offer individual therapy to men and women so they can receive customized care tailored to their needs. Your therapist works to understand your unique circumstances and provide you with targeted interventions and coping skills essential for long term recovery.

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.

Couples therapy in Minnesota can help you understand yourself and your partner better and identify the issues causing stress in the relationship. From finances to addiction to children, you'll learn skills to deal with various stressors and strengthen your relationship.

Families in Minnesota use family therapy to understand the roles they play in addiction. Each member plays a role and contributes to a pattern of behavior. Families learn to interact in healthier ways that support each other and contribute to their loved one's journey to recovery.

Accreditations

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) is a branch of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Established in 1992 by congress, SAMHSA's mission is to reduce the impact of substance abuse and mental illness on American's communities.

I started my addiction recovery journey at Valhalla Place on 4/16/09. I was a client there for a little over a year. I had a wonderful experience. I remember Sandy, she was the front desk/receptionist. Oh, she was the loveliest lady I have ever met. She was named after a lake in Northern MN that I lived by my whole life. A nurse who's also a Northern MN girl and I talked all the time about life in the north or southern Canada, as we called it. My counselor at Valhalla Place was a wonderful human being. My husband & I are photographers & my husband is a wood worker. We both took photos of eagles. 1 eagle in one photo & 2 in another. My husband made frames for these lovely pictures. The office manager sat with me my whole 1st day because I had a rough 1st day. I needed an ekg, but I had one just a month before. I got there at 7am & didn't get my dose until 4:45pm. Way after dosing hours, near closing time. But no one was going to make me go home without my 1st dose. The nurse, Sady and office manager, all sat with me. Until Dr. Solem, (r.i.p) got the ekg in his email while he was somewhere in Israel. He called the nurse to tell her to dose me. Everyone cheered. I was deep in withdrawal. I never left for lunch, or to have a cigarette, nor to get anything to drink for 9 1/2 hours. If I did leave, I knew I would go straight to get my drug. So, I stuck it out hurting, shaking, crying, nose running, and stomach feeling like it's going inside out. Until 4:46 p.m. on March 25, 2009, I took my first dose. Everyone was sitting with me, watching my shaking stop, color come back to my face, and a smile that brightened up my whole aura. I never felt like that. The pain left my body, shaking stopped, my stomach felt better, cold sweat dried up, and I felt better. I felt human, something I hadn't felt in 11 years. As I drove home, I made a pact with myself. I promised to stick out the mmt for 6 months, then see if I wanted to continue. By 3 weeks, I had already decided I was staying on methadone. It's been 15 years now. I am on a low dose, but I stay on it because I know craving will come back. I am thankful for those 5 people at Valhalla Place for helping me on my journey and literally being with me on my 1st day. I left there on 5/20/2010 because I moved back to my hometown and started going to another clinic.I told my long story to explain why I give this place, a place I loved so much, only a 2 star rating.My stepson, who was 8 years old when I started my journey, he only knew Valhalla Place was a place I had such wonderful memories of, had a great opinion of, and had such an awesome experience with, so my opinion was known very well to my stepson. The day I drove him to Valhalla Place was the day all my great memories, opinions, and experiences just left. He was treated like a criminal. He was treated like he did wrong. He was hesitant about mmt because he didn't really know anything about methadone. I never told him anything about me. I didn't think I needed to because he hid his addiction so well. Way better than anyone I have ever known. He has had so much trauma in his life that he is great at hiding things from everyone. His boyfriend didn't even know about the addiction that my stepson had. They have been together since age 14. They have lived together since age 18, and they are going to be 24 soon. Their birthdays are 8 days apart. My poor stepson was crying as he came out. He said they treated him so badly. I went back in with him and asked why they would treat a vulnerable person in deep withdrawal so horribly? They made excuses, and I was so discussed. I called the director of my clinic.both clinics are owned by BHG. I just had to tell him what happened to my stepson. He said these 2 people treating a client like that are very unprofessional. My stepson, me, and the director of my clinic all made complaints about these 2 people. My stepson ended up going to a different clinic. This all happened only 9 days ago. So, I am sure the 2 rude people are still working there even though they shouldn't!!

I've been coming here for awhile. I love the new updates they have done. It's quick, in and out and it doesn't take a long time to dose. For the most part they care about your needs. They have a lot of counselors to chose from if you don't click with yours. They do fun things around the holidays. This place has changed my life and I thank Valhalla for helping me achieve my goals. Shout out to Jenny and Troy!!!!!!

Above all else... they have their OWN EMPLOYEES give fake 5 star reviews here on google. Look closely to the 5 star reviews of late; you will see! UNFORTUNATELY!Drove to clinic to find out they were closed due to water damage. Was told I could go to Minneapolis & dose within minutes. I show up @ Minneapolis location & am told it would be 3 hours minimum to dose. Thanks for the call ahead of time! Not! You knew you would be closed for the day at 5am, i showed up at 11am with no notice that the clinic was closed. They have how many dozen councilors/staff/nurses/doctors!? Even if each councilors only took 5 minutes to call each of their maximum 55 patients allowed by MN law, they would have been able to call each patient at that clinic in less than 3 hours (8am) never happened. They want to talk about patients taking responsibility... how about their own employees!?!?I have been at this clinic, non stop (zero absences or times away) dating back to February 2nd 2009! I have literally watched this clinic go from A+++ to its current state where each "patient" is LITERALLY narrowed down to a NUMBER! All us current patients are to Valhalla Place / "Merridean Behavioral Group" / "MERRIDEAN" are just a $ amoint/income for them / a literal NUMBER! HOW SAD!ON top of that; they double bill your insurance and then charge their SO CALLED "patients" cash fees on top!! I have MULTIPLE FORMS of proof and have a civil suite pending if anyone's interested!

Really like all the updates they have done. New paint, new flooring, good security. Mostly good things to say about this methadone clinic. Some of the staff is great while others on the staff could be more personable. The location is very convenient while at the same time being someone private. Shout out to Troy and his fun personality to

We had a emergency situation during traveling. The Dr treated my fiance like a criminal. I've never been a addict, I'm allergic to narcotics and I come from law enforcement family. I've never has anyone treat my fiance as if he isn't trust worthy like she treated him. She clearly has a bias against people have have struggled with addiction.I have my TMA & cna license. By law I can give patients meds. I am worried for my fiance and now we will have to spend hundreds of dollars going to the emergency room just to help him.The dr at this clinic acted inconvenienced & honestly very unprofessional. My partner had a spill during travel. He is a model patient. If this Dr doesn't care to help others during emergency, she should not be a Dr. She clearly cares more about money and profit over patient care. As someone in the health field I'm so shocked and sad that this clinic works with a provider like her. She needs to reflect on her behavior, as we get into the medical field to help others, not for profit.I'd be cautious of this Dr, God forbid you have any thing accidently happen and need emergency help. She treats you like second class.Big pharma makes addict. Addicts are customers for life. Then they set you up with clinics acting like they want to help you..it's all a big pharma system..it's all about making money. Be careful. If you are struggling with addiction find a provider who actually cares.
