Outpatient Therapy for a Variety of Needs
One thing that stands out about Pathways is that they provide treatment for multiple mental health and substance use needs and have targeted programs for the LGBTQ+ community, those with fetal alcohol syndrome, and immigrants.
Services include therapy for individuals, groups, and families. They use evidence-based approaches like eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). Pathways also provides clinical hypnosis and group therapy focused on specific conditions.
For the LGBTQ+ community, the team can help with family rejection, traumatic experiences, substance use and mental health concerns. They can help immigrants and refugees with culturally appropriate counseling, classes and support.
Forensic Services for Those Involved with the Justice System
One unique element of Pathways that impressed me is their forensic treatment options. They work within prisons to offer healthy lifestyle classes and work with discharge planners to connect those leaving incarceration with treatment options and support.
I like how Pathways works with parole officers to provide treatment and diversion programs to various court systems in the area. They connect those transitioning into the community with resources for housing, employment, education and more.
They provide individual and group therapy as well as day treatment programs to address mental health and substance use needs for those involved with the courts.
Addiction Treatment Programs
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 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.
EMDR Therapy is a neurobiological treatment modality used to address trauma disorders and related mental and behavioral health challenges. Short for eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, EMDR is designed to help clients cope with distressing memories and emotions, including fear, sadness, and anger. EMDR may help clients in addiction recovery manage the psychological and emotional triggers that contribute to substance misuse and/or addiction relapse.
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.
Levels of Care
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.
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.
