M Health Fairview University of Minnesota Medical Center – West Bank East Building

M Health Fairview University of Minnesota Medical Center’s West Bank East Building treats teens who have substance use disorders. They also have inpatient behavioral services for kids under 12. They provide culturally-sensitive approaches for their programs. You’ll find ‘em in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

They offer assistance to 12 to 19 year olds with drug related and mental health problems who don’t need 24 hour supervision. An assessment is a critical first step in determining how to best care for each patient. Their treatment teams receive information not only from the patient’s records but from family members and support systems.
In addition to phone and video visits, same day visits are available. Their intensive outpatient treatment consists of 3.5 hours of group therapy and 2 hours of academic instruction each weekday.
Therapy includes relapse prevention, psychoeducation, and dialectical behavioral approaches (DBT). Along with weekly family therapy sessions with their loved ones, patients also receive individual therapy. Patients can also see the onsite psychiatric provider to manage their meds. They’ll discuss the appropriate dosage so they can stay healthy without becoming too dependent.
They provide continuing care after a patient has completed their primary treatment program. They’ll want to assess your recovery and make sure you don’t relapse. This structured curriculum may include individual, group, and family therapy.
Involving families is a crucial component of their program. Family members are invited to participate in the evaluation and treatment procedures in order to assist their kids in improving their mental health. They have education workshops to help you realize the negative consequences that substance use has had on their lives. Throughout the course of treatment, they’ll encourage you to support open communication.
