About Beauterre Recovery Institute – Owatonna
Beauterre Recovery Institute is a CARF accredited luxury substance abuse and mental health treatment center. It’s located in Owatonna, Minnesota, on 180 acres of prairie land not far from Minneapolis-St. Paul. They accept insurance from most providers even if they’re not in network. However, they are in network with some of the big providers such as Aetna and UnitedHealthcare. They don’t accept Medicaid or Medicare.
They can assist with detox in some cases, but they don’t have a full inpatient medical detox program. They do have a coed residential program for adults 18 and over. They have a special recovery program for licensed professionals.
The inpatient program starts with an intake which includes personality and medical assessments. The intake helps staff design a custom treatment plan that includes treatment for any co-occurring mental health disorders.
The program uses many types of individual and group therapy; therapies for the mind, body and spirit; and therapeutic recreational approaches. Some of the treatment modalities include dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), cognitive behavioral skill building groups, health realization and 12 Step programming. You’ll get nutritional guidance and learn mindfulness meditation.
They use SMART (self management and recovery training) which is an evidence based method of recovery that uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to transform negative behaviors into positive behaviors. It helps you learn good coping skills to manage cravings and urges as well as manage your feelings, thoughts and behavior.
You’ll be encouraged to stay physically active as part of your recovery. They have a gym with some weights and cardio machines. The grounds are spacious and provide a good place to walk or run. You’ll have the opportunity to play volleyball, basketball and horseshoes, attend yoga, or walk the labyrinth.
Former clients have high praise for the treatment center, noting the knowledgeable staff and great food. One client said the dual diagnosis education was “very in depth” and helpful for overcoming addiction successfully.
