Addiction Treatment Programs

Adult Program Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Adult Program

When an individual struggles with drug and alcohol use, an adult program in Minnesota can provide treatment and mental health support. Designed for men and women over the age of 18, these programs help individuals obtain and maintain sobriety.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Cognitive behavioral therapy in Minnesota is based on rapid, action-focused treatment. This works well for 60 to 90-day rehab programs by providing participants with immediate and effective coping techniques.

Levels of Care

Outpatient Rehab

Outpatient rehab in Minnesota provides a less restrictive environment than inpatient. You’ll live at home wh...ile attending just a few hours of counseling sessions per week and receive ongoing support through a program such as AA or NA. This will continue for as long as you need this level of accountability.

Dual Diagnosis & Mental Health

Left untreated, mental disorders complicate substance abuse disorders and make addiction treatment ineffective.... Dual diagnosis treatment in Minnesota addresses both, making it ideal for those who have co-occurring disorders.

Financial Aid

You may also be eligible for Financial Aid if you're in need of assistance with the cost of rehab. Financial a...ssistance options include grants, scholarships, non-profit programs, personal funding, and health insurance programs to help you manage the expense of substance abuse treatment.

Medicaid Accepted

For those struggling with payment, Medicaid can provide financial assistance. Medicaid coverage may vary, but ...it can offer support for all levels of care.

Medicare Accepted

For those with Medicare you may have coverage options available to help pay for alcohol and drug rehab in Minn...esota. The amount of coverage will depend on many things, including whether you are seeking inpatient or outpatient treatment for substance abuse.
