Rediscover a happier you on your terms

Virtual addiction therapy gives you convenient access to the same level of high-quality care you’d expect in person with flexible options for your schedule.

Like in-person care, virtual addiction therapy is a safe space. Many people feel more comfortable opening up to therapists from home in their own environment.

We offer personalized care from licensed experts specializing in mental health and addiction therapy and offer integrated access to peer recovery support and medication assisted treatment (MAT) to assist you on your recovery journey.   

  • Addiction therapy specialists help diagnose, treat and manage substance use disorders. They partner with you to create a recovery plan for your unique needs.

    Virtual addiction therapy includes individual and optional group sessions with a therapist dually licensed in both mental health and addiction. Individual sessions last 45 minutes and are available up to three times a week.

    Optional 90-minute group sessions are available up to three days a week.
     
  • Certified peer recovery support specialists provide education, social support, advocacy and mentoring. Peer recovery specialists are certified through the Minnesota Certification Board.

Addiction therapy might be right for you if: 

  • Drinking and/or drug use feels like it is getting in the way of you living your life
  • You are looking for a therapist who understands addiction
  • You are not interested in or able to attend traditional outpatient substance use treatment services that meet 12 or more hours per week
  • You want to access services virtually
  • You are looking to cut down or quit substance use using evidence based therapeutic interventions.
  • You have tried other recovery programs and are looking for something different.
  • You are looking for therapy services, peer support, and/or MAT.

How to qualify for virtual addiction therapy

You’ll complete a substance use disorder assessment to qualify for virtual addiction care. You’ll answer a few questions to help your referral specialist understand the extent of your addiction and find the best treatments for your needs.

How to get started

All you need is a computer or a mobile device with a camera and an internet connection.

If you live with others, find a private space where you can open up and get the most out of your virtual addiction therapy. 

Start your appointment by clicking the appointment link in your Allina Health account. A patient access representative can help you with any technical issues and help ensure you have the best experience possible.
