Essentia Health-St. Joseph’s Medical Center (Brainerd)

The Essentia Health-St. Joseph’s Medical Center (Brainerd) is a hospital, trauma center and emergency room for clients of all ages in Brainerd, Minnesota. They specialize in treating a wide range of conditions, including substance use disorder. Here, you’ll find different kinds of treatment plans that incorporate inpatient, outpatient and aftercare services.

Most people attend treatment here for about four months. You’ll work with your provider to determine which level of care you need and how frequently you need to participate in your program. The staff in this department are trained and licensed in addiction recovery, so they’ll keep your safety top of mind at all times.

If you need inpatient treatment, you’ll live on site at the medical center. Something I like about this facility is the low patient to staff ratio, which means you’ll receive targeted attention and round the clock supervision.

If you’re stable enough to live at home while you recover, you can enroll in their outpatient program. Some of the services they offer include individual and family counseling sessions as well as medication assisted treatment.
