About Meridian Behavioral Health – New Beginnings Minnesota – Elk River
New Beginnings Elk River, part of the Meridian Behavioral Health network, is an outpatient addiction treatment center located in Elk River, Minnesota. Not only do they treat substance use disorders (SUD), but they’re licensed to treat dual diagnoses. Men and women aged 18 and older can get help here in a setting that feels grounded and accessible.
Elk River, about 34 miles northwest of Minneapolis, offers a calm yet connected setting. The Northstar train stops right in town, making it easy to keep up with work, appointments, and community resources. Plus, there are parks and trails where you can unwind or reflect.
Outpatient Care Designed to Fit Real Life
Outpatient care here is built to support people who work, go to school, or have families. You don’t have to give up work or family time to be successful in recovery. Group sessions, individual counseling, and peer support all focus on practical tools for handling daily stress and staying sober.
At the heart of their approach to SUD treatment is a commitment to caring for the whole person, not just focusing on the addiction. They believe in listening to what clients have to say and building real connections. That shines through in their treatment methods.
They use evidence based, personalized treatment plans. Since recovery looks different for everyone, they customize your plan to meet your unique needs and adjust treatment as you make progress.
I appreciate their virtual outpatient care. If you can’t get to their location or just need more flexibility, you can do just about everything from home. It makes getting help more manageable, especially if you’re outside the Elk River area.
What to Know About Payment
Worrying about cost shouldn’t keep you from getting help. They accept Medicaid and most private insurance plans. If you don’t have insurance, they have self pay option and will help you work through
the logistics
New Beginnings Elk River offers a supportive, flexible environment for recovery, making it easier to balance treatment with daily life. I think their personalized care creates a strong foundation for lasting change.
