About Northwood Childrens Services

Northwood Children's Services is a private nonprofit children's behavioral health organization in Duluth, Minnesota, providing outpatient, residential and psychiatric residential care for youth with significant emotional, behavioral and learning challenges.

The organization offers diagnostic assessment, individual and family therapy, skills training, psychiatric consultation and CBT informed care for children, adolescents and select adult clients.

Since 1883, Northwood has built its approach around positive development and asset building, helping young people grow within structured, supportive environments alongside their families.

Child and Adolescent Behavioral Health in Duluth

I like that Northwood specializes in intensive mental health treatment for children and teens facing complex emotional and behavioral needs.

Outpatient services welcome youth ages 0 to 21 years and include diagnostic testing, individual, group and family therapy, psychological testing and telehealth visits.

Sessions are tailored to each child's clinical diagnosis and developmental stage, with multidisciplinary teams coordinating care across therapists, psychiatrists, educators and families.

Parents have shared that having therapy, education and support services on one campus helps their children stay engaged in school while making real progress.

Residential and Psychiatric Treatment for Youth

For children ages 5 to 17 years who need higher levels of care, Northwood operates a Qualified Residential Treatment Program and a Psychiatric Residential Treatment Facility.

These programs combine 24 hour structured living in small, family like teams with individual therapy, group therapy, family work, recreation, creative arts and on site education.

Access, Locations and Getting Started

I'm impressed that Northwood serves families through its Main Campus at 714 W. College Street and its West Campus at 4000 W. 9th Street in Duluth, with telehealth available for outpatient clients across Minnesota.

Services are funded through Minnesota Medical Assistance and most private health insurance plans, with additional payment options reported through third party sources.

Addiction Treatment Programs

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

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.

Detox & MAT

Detox in Minnesota involves 24/7 supervision by professionals who help you cleanse your body of all addictive ...substances. This process can take up to a week and may involve medication to ease withdrawal symptoms.

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.

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.

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.

TRICARE

Administered by the Department of Defense, TRICARE offers comprehensive military health insurance plans for ac...tive 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.

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.

Self-Pay Options

You can opt for Self-Pay Options or Private Pay, which allows you to fully finance your treatment journey. Thi...s 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.

Sliding Scale Payment

If paying the full amount is not an option, a Sliding Scale Payment plan may be a suitable solution. This plan... can provide access to all levels of care, including detox and inpatient rehab. To qualify for this treatment discount, you must complete an application and provide supporting financial documentation.
