Center For Families Minneapolis

Center for Families Minneapolis, a program within the Newport Healthcare family, offers individualized outpatient care and education to adolescents ages 13-18 and their families. They treat mental and behavioral health and substance use challenges. Through a continuum of therapy that includes a therapeutic day program (PHP), intensive outpatient program (IOP), and outpatient care, they guide teens and families into long-lasting healing. Academic support provides collaboration with schools, special education teachers, tutors, and help with applying to college.
Diagnostic assessments help guide the unique treatment of each teen. The accredited and professional staff at Centers for Families help ensure each aspect of patients’ needs is met and in a healing and empowering way. Their multidisciplinary staff includes child and adolescent psychiatrist, psychologist, family therapists, nurses, dieticians, and adventure therapists. Holistic therapies work alongside clinical and evidence-based care to give well-rounded treatment. Their Minneapolis location connects teens to activities on the Bde Maka Ska lake, like kayaking. Centers for Families Minneapolis also works closely with advisors from the Trevor Project to provide inclusive, affirming care for LGBTQ+ patients.
Family involvement is a key component of Center for Families. Their mission is to restore trust and communication with their loved ones. A stand-out feature of the program includes a peer-facilitation program led by parents with first-hand experience with the challenges of both substance use and mental health. Here, families can learn about these challenges through a parent's view and gain the extra tools to support their loved one during healing.
For adolescents ages 13-18, treatment begins with guided support through individual therapy, art and music therapy, and focus groups. Their PHP combines with their therapeutic day school, which pairs one-on-one counseling with specialized tutors so teens can stay on track with academics. Teens have 4+ hours of academic time daily. Centers for Families’ IOP allows teenagers to continue in traditional school and receive continuous care within a caring community. Their location in Minneapolis connects teens to fun adventure therapies in the city and in nature.

Choosing the right treatment facility is one of the most important decisions in the recovery journey. Research published by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) shows that treatment duration, therapeutic approach, and aftercare planning are the three strongest predictors of long-term sobriety.

Center For Families Minneapolis offers 2 distinct levels of care, allowing patients to step through treatment intensities as they progress. This continuum-of-care model — moving from higher to lower intensity — is recommended by SAMHSA as the gold standard for addiction treatment.

The facility utilizes 9 evidence-based therapeutic modalities. According to NIDA research, combination therapy approaches that integrate behavioral interventions (such as 1-on-1 Counseling and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) with holistic support show significantly improved outcomes compared to single-modality programs.

Under the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act, most commercial insurance plans are required to cover substance abuse treatment.
