About Northland Christian Counseling – Grand Forks
If you live in Grand Forks, North Dakota or a nearby community then you might consider turning to Northland Christian Counseling Center for addiction recovery support. The facility is located next to Cottonwood Community Church and offers outpatient (OP) evaluations and counseling for adults facing substance use disorder. They also provide aftercare and relapse prevention services and dual diagnosis care for people with co-occurring mental health challenges.
Although this nonprofit alcohol and drug rehab provider was founded by the Greater Grand Forks Area Evangelical Pastors’ Fellowship, it is interdenominational. Christian teachings and principles are at the core of all their services but they welcome everyone, regardless of faith.
The head of their addiction services wing is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) and licensed master’s addiction counselor (LMAC). Besides addiction, Solem specializes in helping people with co-occurring challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, and grief.
They use several modalities including solution focused behavior therapy (SFBT), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). Because therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all, it may be beneficial to work with a clinician who offers multiple techniques. Their other nine clinicians are experienced in other areas including marriage and family counseling, child counseling and pregnancy and postpartum counseling.
The facility’s OP services are suitable for folks who need a lower level of care. It typically consists of four hours a week including a one-hour individual counseling session and three hours of group therapy. Once you’ve completed treatment here or elsewhere, you can participate in the organization’s aftercare program. This provides continuity and community support through weekly group meetings and periodic individual counseling sessions.
