About Human Development Center Duluth
Human Development Center Duluth is a CARF accredited drug and alcohol treatment center located in Duluth, Minnesota. They specialize in treatment for children, adolescents, adults and veterans who are struggling with co-occurring and substance abuse disorders. Services that are available include recovery support, therapy, medication assisted treatment (MAT) and intensive outpatient care. They offer sliding scale fees and private payment options.
The hardest step is the one you just took. Coming into acceptance and reaching out for treatment can be scary and uncomfortable, especially when you’re uncertain of what to expect. Here, you will complete a comprehensive assessment with one of their licensed substance abuse counselors that will outline expectations. You’ll identify what you are seeking in regards to treatment plus identify your strengths, weaknesses and goals you wish to achieve. They will provide recommendations to present options most beneficial for you and also offer clarity on what to expect moving forward.
Their MAT program can assist with the physical effects of chemical dependency. Experiencing withdrawals and cravings can be overwhelming and challenging while trying to focus on your journey of healing. This program combines medication and therapy to help you succeed.
Individual, group and family therapy can provide the guidance you need to grow and mend relationships with your loved ones. EMDR, cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy are some of the many holistic therapies that will be part of treatment. These therapies can help you learn to process prior painful experiences, change negative thinking and develop a healthier lifestyle. Coping techniques, anger management and practicing mindfulness will be some of the skills you’ll learn and utilize in everyday life or when unexpected challenges arise.
The peer support provided will help you get a more thorough understanding of recovery and treatment from individuals who have personal experience with recovery. Being able to identify with others, gaining hope from people who are living in recovery, receiving support and experiencing accountability can make the journey feel less lonely and more encouraging.
