About Southeast Human Service Center: Region V – Fargo
Southeast Human Service Center is a government facility that provides important behavioral health services in Fargo, North Dakota. Their services include drug and alcohol addiction treatment as well as mental health treatment. Service centers like this are available throughout North Dakota, but this one specifically serves the southeastern corner of the state.
The treatment here is outpatient based, with services like addiction counseling and therapy. They serve such a wide variety of needs and conditions, and they’ll work with you as an individual to get you what you need for your recovery.
I think the most important benefit to this treatment center is that they’re really focused on being there for people with the help they need when they need it. For example, they can do walk in behavioral health assessments when you’re ready to make a change and get help for your addiction. There’s no appointment needed and you can walk in during business hours. They’ll do an assessment and can even start treatment right away if you have severe symptoms, or they’ll set you up to start treatment within a day or two.
Along with walk in assessments, they also have a 24 hour behavioral health crisis line. You can call when you’re in a tough spot and they’ll help you work through the crisis and set you up with resources to help. Plus all the services at this treatment center have sliding scale fees, so you only pay what you can afford. No one is turned away for an inability to pay.
Clients have expressed frustrations with the administrative processes and wait times here. When it comes to quality of care, though, clients are often happy with their treatment and especially with the substance abuse classes.
