Addiction services – adolescent and teens

Allina Health offers addiction and substance abuse care for adolescents. The goal is to prepare teens who are in recovery for life after addiction treatment, and then to help them sustain recovery after rehabilitation. Services include individual counseling, family education and referrals to other services.

Counseling is not a one-size-fits-all process. Different approaches are more appropriate and effective for different people, depending on their age, type of addiction and the factors that contributed to their addiction.
