About Common Ground – Rochester
Located in South Rochester, Minnesota, is the addiction treatment center, Common Ground. This is an organization that provides chemical use assessments, intensive outpatient care, interventions and family support programs. They work with adults, youth and families who have been impacted by substance use struggles.
Their Rochester office has a dedicated intensive outpatient program (IOP). There’s also a housing component that’s offered for both men and women. While living in these gender separated residential facilities, you receive supportive care through the intensive outpatient program.
Their approach to treatment is grounded in evidence based practices including counseling and skills building. Through this, you’ll build healthy habits to help guide your sobriety.
As you progress through the program you’ll get connected to different community resources including AA and NA meetings. Various recovery meetings and events that encourage sobriety are also available in the community. You’ll be informed of these meetings and events and will be encouraged to attend to continue building your recovery skills.
I value that there’s a strong focus on building a sense of community here, and you’ll connect with other recovering individuals in various stages of their recovery journey. You don’t feel isolated or alone as you receive services here, and the peer support you’ll find can be essential to helping you reach your recovery goals.
As an educator, I find their teen and youth programs to be incredibly valuable. At risk children and those who are already struggling with substance use are supported in full force. Teens get to connect with other children in recovery, and they’ll benefit from the supportive peer community they’ll find here.
