About Northern Pines Mental Health Center

Northern Pines Mental Health Center is a Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic (CCBHC) serving a 6-county region in Central Minnesota with integrated mental health and substance use disorder services. The Brainerd location offers walk-in urgent care, mobile crisis outreach and ongoing substance use recovery support under one roof.

Whether you are in crisis or seeking longer-term support Northern Pines provides accessible care designed to meet you where you are.

Walk-In Mental Health Care

Northern Pines operates a Mental Health Urgent Care Clinic available daily from 10 am to 7 pm at its Brainerd location. I noted that this walk-in model offers immediate mental health support without the barriers of scheduling, making it a true front door for urgent care needs in Central Minnesota.

For clients who cannot come in, the Mobile Crisis Outreach team will come to them, dispatching support wherever it is needed. This dual approach ensures that urgent mental health needs are addressed quickly, whether in-clinic or in the community.

Substance Use Recovery and Outpatient Support

In addition to mental health support, I found that Northern Pines offers outpatient Substance Use Recovery group sessions at the Brainerd location, focusing on the mindset and ongoing support needed for recovery. Outpatient therapy options including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), couples therapy and family therapy are also available, with programs serving both teens ages 13 to 17 and adults.

Northern Pines serves residents across Aitkin, Cass, Crow Wing, Morrison, Todd and Wadena counties, offering both in-clinic and community-based services.

Amenities

Private Transportation

Transportation services are designed to ensure your addiction treatment begins and ends successfully by offering free transportation to the rehab facility, to and from your appointments during rehab, and back home upon program completion.

Addiction Treatment Programs

Teen & Adolescent Program

Recovery is not the same for young adults as it is for older individuals. A young adult program in Minnesota treats the patient as a whole, addressing unique life-stage challenges, dual diagnosis issues, and substance abuse.

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.

Alcoholism

The goal of alcohol rehab in Minnesota is to help you make mental and behavioral changes that lead to recovery and long-term sobriety. Most methods rely on a combination of group and individual counseling to accomplish these goals.

Men's Rehab

Individuals who attend men’s rehab in Minnesota can expect to spend much of their days in therapy sessions. Therapy is focused on men only, and teaches men how to control urges and cravings and live a healthy, sober lifestyle.

Women's Rehab

During women’s rehab in Minnesota, women participate in evidence-based therapies to treat their substance use disorders. Therapy methods include individual, group, family, cognitive-behavioral, and dialectical behavior therapy.

Opioid Treatment

After evaluating your needs and budget, staff at opioid rehab in Minnesota will help you determine the length of your treatment and its intensity level, to properly address your degree of opioid dependence. Most programs include detox, addiction therapy, specialized care, and aftercare support.

Drug Rehab

Drug rehab in Minnesota often starts with assessment. Once needs are determined, the individual typically begins treatment with detox, then enters rehab, and finally receives aftercare once the program is complete. This continuum of care offers appropriate levels of support at each stage to help the individual achieve long-term recovery.

Levels of Care

Outpatient Rehab

Outpatient rehab in Minnesota provides a less restrictive environment than inpatient. You’ll live at home while 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.

Aftercare & Alumni Program

For months or years after achieving initial sobriety, aftercare rehab in Minnesota gives you access to resources that help you maintain sobriety after treatment. You can receive support through 12-step groups, ongoing counseling, and financial coaching.

Inpatient Rehab

If you choose inpatient drug rehab in Minnesota, often referred to as residential rehab, you’ll receive 24/7 care while living at the rehab facility. Typical treatment services include individual and group therapy, medication management, and relapse prevention education.

Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)

With a partial hospitalization program (PHP), you receive structured care from a drug rehab in Minnesota, but you don’t have to stay overnight. You’ll receive various treatment methods based on your recovery needs.

Payment Options

Self-Pay Options

You can opt for Self-Pay Options or Private Pay, which allows you to fully finance your treatment journey. This option gives you the flexibility to choose from all levels of care, including detox, inpatient rehab, because you don’t have to stick to the limitations or restrictions of state-run programs, or insurance providers.

Private Insurance

If you have private rehab insurance, you can also utilize your coverage to help pay for rehab. Your insurance policy will dictate the amount covered and if the treatment center is in-network or out-of-network. You may be left with some costs like a co-payment, or co-insurance. Check with your insurer for more information.

Financial Aid

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

TRICARE

Administered by the Department of Defense, TRICARE offers comprehensive military health insurance plans for active and retired military members and their families. Similar to PPO programs offered by private insurance companies, TRICARE covers multiple levels of care for addiction treatment, including detox, inpatient rehab, and outpatient services.
