Addiction Treatment Resources for Clients, Families, and Professionals

How admissions works, help for families, what referring professionals need, insurance answers, and the recovery library, all from one honest starting point.

Northwoods Haven Recovery is an outpatient addiction and mental health treatment program in Hopkins, Minnesota, serving adults across Minneapolis and the Twin Cities. These resources answer the questions people bring to the first call: how to get started, what to do when someone you love needs help, how professionals refer a client, what insurance covers, and where to read more. When you call, we answer. And if we cannot help, we find you who can.

Not sure where you fit?

Tell us what you are looking for and we will point you to the right resource, or just answer the question.

Start with the question you actually have

Most people who reach us are not sure what they need yet. Some are ready to start and want to know what admissions looks like. Some are calling about a spouse, a child, or a friend and want to know what they can do from where they stand. Some are counselors, probation officers, or discharge planners with a client to place. Each of those questions has its own resource, and all of them lead back to the same phone number.

Every path starts with a chemical use assessment, and every caller leaves with resources, whether or not they end up here. If you are in active withdrawal or need residential care, we do not provide that, and we say so and help you find it.

The recovery library holds the longer reading: what withdrawal looks like, how the therapies work, how Medicaid works in Minnesota, and how to talk to someone who is not ready. Guides, longer downloadable resources on specific topics, are on the way.

Substance use

Substance use disorders we treat in Minnesota

Addiction is a disease, never a moral failing, and you are more than your diagnosis. Northwoods Haven Recovery treats alcohol and drug use disorders in an outpatient setting, with the same person-centered approach no matter what brought you here. This isn’t a complete list. If what you’re struggling with isn’t here, call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether we’re the right fit.

Mental health

New

Co-occurring mental health conditions we treat alongside addiction

Substance use and mental health rarely arrive separately. Northwoods Haven Recovery now treats co-occurring mental health conditions alongside chemical dependency programming, so you don’t have to choose which one to work on first. If your needs are mental-health-primary rather than co-occurring with a substance use diagnosis, a program built for that will serve you better, and we’ll help you find one.

No. Every program at Northwoods Haven Recovery is outpatient. If you are in active withdrawal or need residential care, call anyway and we will help you find a provider, then welcome you back when you are ready.

Longer, downloadable resources on specific topics, written for people at a particular point in the process. The first guides are in development; until then, the recovery library and these resource pages cover the same ground in shorter form.
