Specialized Teen Addiction Treatment in Fargo, North Dakota

The hospital programs include evidence based treatments and interventions. There are programs for every age group. The teen program includes treatment for substance use and co occurring mental health disorders. There’s an inpatient and outpatient program.

The adolescent inpatient program provides immediate stabilization to teens in crisis while giving them the tools they need to minimize future incidents. Teens receive individual, group, and family therapy while in the program.

The program stands out for its commitment to teaching the teens accountability, respect for authority, and impulse control. Additionally, teens rebuild trust in a supportive environment that reinforces positive behaviors. Families are involved in the program, and parents learn new strategies and skills for dealing with teen behavior.

Hope and Healing for Adults With Addiction and Co Occurring Disorders

There are several options for adults at the hospital, including acute psychiatric hospitalization, medication assisted treatment, partial hospitalization, and an intensive outpatient program (IOP) for substance use.

The IOP meets for seven weeks, three times a week. The meetings include substance use education, psychoeducation, and a family education group.

The treatment team teaches clients to use their social support resources, including family and community, to avoid relapse. They help clients stabilize their behavior and work toward a less intensive program.

Supportive Housing Program

One of the unique things about this hospital is the supportive housing program. Housing is on the hospital campus and is a short walk from the adult outpatient programming. Housing is available for adults in the mental health or substance use partial hospitalization programs who just need some added guidance rather than living independently.
