Outpatient Alcohol and Drug Rehab in St. Paul, Minnesota

Outpatient Addiction Treatment and Recovery Services for Adults Ages 18+

The Hazelden Betty Ford treatment center in Saint Paul, Minnesota, with its historic Fellowship Club sober living residence, is a place of healing where traditional recovery wisdom meets research-informed practices and approaches.

Conveniently located just west of downtown St. Paul, our renovated and expanded outpatient drug rehab facility serves individual patients and families as well as the surrounding recovery community. Hazelden Betty Ford clinicians are well-versed in evidence-based treatment protocols, and our services include animal-assisted programming. The outpatient treatment center offers multiple rehab options designed to give patients the best chance at achieving long-term recovery from alcohol or other drug addiction.

Why Outpatient Treatment?

Raising children. Earning a living. Cooking, cleaning and paying utility bills. Life's everyday stresses and responsibilities don't magically disappear when you begin a drug addiction treatment program. And yet, effective drug rehab requires all-out commitment, focused attention and new ways of living that take practice and patience. Our outpatient treatment programs equip patients with the knowledge, skills, accountability and support to successfully navigate both worlds, simultaneously. Hazelden Betty Ford in St. Paul offers three levels of outpatient treatment for substance abuse as well as specialty programs.

If you or a loved one are struggling with substance abuse, contact us or call 1-866-831-5700 to speak with a recovery expert who will guide you through the outpatient programs, services and insurance options at available Hazelden in Saint Paul, MN.

High-Intensity Outpatient Program

Our high-intensity outpatient program, a level of outpatient drug rehab sometimes referred to as day treatment or partial hospitalization, is the highest outpatient level of programming offered. Tailored to address each patient's specific situation and challenges, high-intensity outpatient programming includes educational and therapeutic sessions designed to help you build skills in the areas of coping, resilience, accountability and initiative. Our outpatient center also offers integrated mental health services to address co-occurring disorders that often accompany substance abuse. For patients who would benefit from additional recovery guidance and support, our on-site, sober-living community is an effective option.

The high-intensity outpatient program is an ideal treatment level for people who have experienced a recent relapse, are transitioning out of an inpatient or residential addiction treatment program, or are struggling with co-occurring mental health issues such as anxiety or depression.

Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)

Our weekday and weekend intensive outpatient programs meet conveniently during the morning or evening so you can manage work and family responsibilities while participating in drug rehab. And both in-person and virtual options are available. When beginning our intensive outpatient program, patients are typically scheduled for four sessions a week.

The IOP program features a one-counselor approach, which means that patients stay with the same addiction counselor throughout the course of their program rather than change counselors at multiple junctures or when treatment sessions become less frequent. This one-counselor approach has been shown to provide patients with excellent continuity of care. Our on-site clinically supervised sober living program is also available for intensive outpatient treatment program patients who want the benefit of built-in structure, accountability and support in early recovery.

Hazelden Betty Ford offers IOP services in Spanish. Latinx, native Spanish speaking Hazelden Betty Ford clinicians have evaluated treatment topics and focus through a cultural lens, resulting in the addition of several Latinx-specific components in treatment programming such as the effects of systemic and generational trauma as related to stress and anxiety around deportation and immigration status, family roles, addiction stigma, and other topics specific to the Latinx community. 

Low-Intensity Outpatient Program

As clinical milestones are met and you're learning to manage your own sobriety, you may transition into our low-intensity outpatient program. At this level of care, you will attend group sessions less frequently while trying out newly acquired recovery skills in your everyday life. In this way, you will begin building new routines, strengthening your recovery support networks and identifying relapse triggers.

Virtual Outpatient Mental Health Services

Our outpatient addiction treatment center offers expert mental health counseling to address anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress (PTSD) and other mental health conditions. Services include individual appointments as well as couples and family counseling.

Hazelden Betty Ford's outpatient mental health services are available to the general community. The most common mental health conditions we address are anxiety, depression, and PTSD. In addition to individual counseling, the following special-focus groups are offered at Hazelden Betty Ford in Minnesota:

Virtual Teen Intervene Screening and Brief Intervention

Has your teenage son or daughter been caught using marijuana or other drugs? Or maybe they've admitted to drinking with other underage friends. Chances are you're not facing full-blown, active addiction, but some type of intervention is needed. Our Teen Intervene program is a three-session counselor/teen one-on-one program that guides young people in examining why they've chosen to use alcohol or drugs and how they can make healthier choices in the future. Teen Intervene also involves parent education, support and guidance.

Recovery Management

Our post-treatment services and resources are designed to help teens and young adults strengthen and advance healthy living skills over the long haul. Experts across the Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation provide a number of in-person, online and digital recovery support resources, such as mobile apps, inspirational emails, online social communities and web-based tools.

Help and Healing for Families Affected by Addiction

Through our Family Programs, support groups and family counseling, you and your loved ones will learn how to work through the difficulties you've experienced, understand how to set healthy boundaries, and begin to rebuild trusting relationships. Many of our family services are free and available to anyone. In addition, many are provided virtually so you can access support from anywhere.
