We are a multi-cultural outpatient substance abuse program located in Sturgeon Lake, Minn.
Adult men and women experiencing life problems with chemical health-related disorders and/or co-occurring mental disorders.
Our flexible program allows each person to continue to engage in employment, education, family and community obligations while learning about their substance use and its effect on their lives. We treat the mind, body and spirit through a whole-person treatment program that helps each individual gain the necessary tools to assist him or her in the recovery process. These include: relapse prevention skills, anger management skills, living skills, social skills, spirituality, stress management, nutrition education, relationship and communication skills, self-esteem and recreational therapy. This proven approach helps individuals simultaneously address their chemical health-related disorders and co-occurring mental disorders.
Our staff works closely with each person to help achieve success in recovery through individual, group and family counseling, educational films, lectures and individual treatment plans. We also work closely with a range of community resources to build a healthy support system that promotes long-term recovery.
We are abstinence-based and draw from:
• Motivational Interviewing
• 12-Step Principles
• Health Realization
• Reality Therapy
• Cognitive Skills Training
• Family System Dynamics
• Relapse Prevention Models
We utilize a step-down model, with individuals moving from high to low intensity as their level of functioning improves.
