About Park Avenue Center – Women’s – Minneapolis
Park Avenue Center Women’s program in Minneapolis, Minnesota, is a women’s facility that provides residential treatment for substance abuse and co-occurring mental health conditions. They also offer co-occurring programming that is specifically designed to treat you when you have more severe mental health issues alongside substance use disorder (SUD).
The program uses a multidisciplinary team approach that includes licensed psychologists, professional clinical counselors, alcohol and drug counselors and social workers who are uniquely positioned to effectively address and supervise your care.
In this program, you have free off-site housing, mental health services, case management, smaller group sizes and longer stays in residence. The co-occurring disorders program is ideal when you suffer from mental health illnesses and addiction. For instance, you may have anxiety or depression in addition to a SUD, and they can help you address and overcome both.
It provides a fully integrated treatment that emphasizes both conditions as primary. They do not use a cookie-cutter approach but rather define an individualized program based on your assessment and needs. Psychology graduate students are involved in this program and co-facilitate some of the process groups.
Other on-site services include access to expert physicians, psychiatrists, mental health practicioners and social workers. These services allow them to meet your needs without leaving the facility. Physicians and psychiatrists are on site four days each week which allows for testing to be included in your individualized treatment plan.
Licensed social workers provide case management plans that help you secure long-term housing, obtain clothing, and get medical insurance.
