About The Duluth Bethel – Duluth
You’ll find The Duluth Bethel in Duluth, Minnesota, on the shores of Lake Superior. This organization has served voluntary and court-ordered adults and adolescents for over 150 years. From high intensity residential rehab to standard outpatient programs, they offer a full continuum of care to meet you at any recovery stage. Their programs prioritize helping you reach recovery from substance abuse and mental health disorders. Individual counseling, group therapy and other supportive services are available.
What stands out most to me are their youth services. They partner with the Arrowhead Juvenile Center to provide tailored addiction and co-occurring disorder care. They understand that criminality and addiction are often closely linked. Adolescents can benefit from compassionate care to get to the root of their addiction and gain the tools to reach recovery and prevent recidivism.
Another great feature I noticed was their Work Release Program. Similar to a halfway house, this track bridges life in custody and independent living. They strive to help you successfully transition to life after prison. You can access job search assistance, family reunification services, healthy social activities and life skills training. They ensure you have support and encouragement to rebuild your life and sustain sobriety.
I appreciate that they also offer a specialized Women’s Program. Unique biological and environmental factors can influence addiction differently in men and women. They provide targeted programming and support for recovering women in the criminal justice system.
Women can access specialized services including a cognitive behavioral program, parenting education, sexual abuse treatment and anger management. They create a safe, supportive environment to open up among peers in recovery and learn from diverse perspectives.
