Addiction counseling services for adults

Counseling remains one of the main treatment methods for people with addiction conditions. Counseling can be individual or in a group setting, and the trained counselors use evidence-based techniques to help you learn how to modify your behavior to achieve recovery.

Overview

Counseling is used to address the underlying causes of an addiction.

The goal is to prepare you in recovery for life after addiction treatment, and then to help you sustain after rehabilitation.

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

To qualify for a program, a substance use disorder comprehensive assessment (formerly known as Rule 25) is necessary. Through this assessment, our referral specialist can help select the treatment option that best suits your needs.

What to expect from your visit

When you undergo counseling at Allina Health, you can expect individual or group treatment sessions with a licensed alcohol and drug counselor and/or a mental health therapist.

Therapy often decreases in frequency and duration as a person learns to cope with the causes of his or her addiction and to handle life’s stressors.
