Outpatient addiction counseling that treats the whole person
Addiction rarely arrives on its own. It grows in the middle of stress, pain, and relationships, which is why lasting recovery takes more than willpower. It takes a plan, real skills, and people in your corner.
We provide outpatient drug and alcohol counseling for adults across Minneapolis, so you can get well without stepping away from your job, your home, or your family.
Our care is clinical and grace-centered. We use the methods with the strongest evidence behind them, and we welcome faith without ever forcing it. You are met as a person, not a case.
Support for the full range of addiction
Whether you are questioning your relationship with alcohol or living with a long-term dependence, we meet you at any stage with practical, judgment-free care.
Alcohol use
Problem drinking, binge patterns, and alcohol use disorder, from early concern to long-term dependence.
Alcohol counseling ›Drugs & opioids
Opioids, prescription misuse, cocaine, methamphetamine, and cannabis dependence.
Drug & opioid counseling ›Co-occurring mental health
Anxiety, depression, and trauma that so often travel alongside substance use.
Counseling for mental health ›Relapse & recovery
Returning to use after progress, and building a recovery that finally holds.
Recovery & relapse prevention ›Family impact
The strain addiction puts on spouses, parents, and children, and the healing that involves them.
Family counseling ›Early questioning
You are not sure it is a problem yet, but you know something needs to change.
Start with an assessment ›Proven methods, delivered with grace
Recovery is not about shame or willpower. We combine the treatments with the strongest research base with a genuinely supportive relationship, so change actually sticks.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Identify the thoughts, triggers, and situations that drive use, and build concrete skills to respond differently.
Motivational Interviewing
Meet ambivalence without a fight. We help you find your own reasons to change and move at a pace that is real.
Relapse Prevention
Map your high-risk moments and build a practical plan, so a slip does not become a full return to use.
Medication-informed care
For alcohol and opioid use, we coordinate with medical providers on medication-assisted options when they fit your goals.
Does outpatient counseling actually work? Yes.
Two facts get lost in the shame around addiction. The first is that most people recover. The second is that quality outpatient care, for many people, works as well as more intensive settings. Recovery is not the exception. It is the expectation.
No program can promise an outcome, and every person is different. But people who get real, structured help are far more likely to get well than those who try to white-knuckle it alone.

Questions people ask first
Do I have to hit rock bottom before getting help?
No. The earlier you reach out, the more options you have and the easier change tends to be. You do not need a crisis to deserve support.
Is outpatient enough, or do I need residential rehab?
It depends on your history and health. For many people, structured outpatient counseling is effective and lets you keep living your life. Our assessment helps you choose the right starting point. See our levels of care.

Yes. Substance use treatment records are protected by strict federal confidentiality rules, and we treat your privacy with the seriousness it deserves.
