About Sanford Health Northern Lights Residence
Thief River Falls, Minnesota, is known for being a manufacturing hub. It’s where Steiger Tractor and snowmobile manufacturer Arctic Cat were founded. Thief River Falls is also where you’ll find Sanford Health Northern Lights Residence, which offers crisis support along with residential treatment for addiction and co-occurring mental health issues.
Sanford Health accepts Medicaid, Medicare and multiple private insurance plans. They also have financial assistance programs for those in need.
Intensive Residential Treatment Services for Adults
The primary program at the Northern Lights Residence is an intensive residential treatment services program that lasts around 90 days, depending on your specific needs and progress.
Services include crisis support, assessments, and individual and group counseling. The goal is to improve behavioral health symptoms, increase coping skills and help clients live as independently as possible.
Sanford Health also delivers illness management and recovery education, integrated dual diagnosis treatment, and family education programs. Family education helps loved ones understand what’s happening and allows them to find healthy ways to be allies in your recovery.
I like how Northern Lights Residence also has nursing services and can coordinate medical care with outpatient mental health and addiction treatment once residents graduate from the program.
The residential program can support 15 adults at a time, so it’s a smaller facility with a lot of personalized attention.
Short Term Crisis Support
Northern Lights Residence can also provide short term care for those who need help getting through a mental health crisis. I noticed how the clinic offers stabilization assessments and treatment, counseling to help you with problem solving, and relapse prevention planning, skills training and coordination with other community resources.
By providing targeted recovery services, they help people in crisis get back on their feet and return to their previous level of functioning.
