About Alliance Wellness Center – Bloomington
Alliance Wellness Center provides addiction treatment services in Bloomington, Minnesota. Support here is available to adults aged 18 and older, including those with co-occurring mental health issues. As for payment, they accept MN Medical Assistance Programs and other private insurance options.
The center is proud to offer culturally specific services for East African communities. However, their intensive outpatient program (IOP) is co-ed and open to all.
Their IOP offers a flexible pathway for adults looking to address their substance use disorder (SUD). The IOP is held Monday through Thursday from 5-9pm, and runs in 16-week blocks. Group counseling sessions take place in the evening, making it easier and more accessible for individuals to join who have full time work or study commitments. Participants also engage in weekly individual counseling sessions for at least one hour each week. Virtual therapy options are available to those who can’t make regular in-person sessions.
The main therapy style used here is dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT). Participants also engage in addiction and co-occurring disorders education, 12 Step support and mindfulness practices. Occasional guest speakers also step in to offer motivational talks and workshops.
As part of the IOP, individuals can benefit from support for a range of areas. Peers can assist with job hunting, training, finding stable housing, and improving financial literacy and management.
