PrairieCare Minneapolis

PrairieCare Minneapolis is a specialized facility operated by Newport Healthcare. They focus on providing evidence-based, integrated care for teens and young adults, particularly teens aged 12 to 18, while also offering certain services for adults. The center emphasizes compassionate, family-centered care and holds accreditation from The Joint Commission, ensuring high standards of clinical excellence and safety. PrairieCare offers a range of outpatient services designed to meet the unique needs of teens and young adults who are experiencing mental health or co-occurring substance use challenges. Their partial hospitalization program (PHP), also known as a Therapeutic Day Program, provides full-day treatment five days a week and includes individual, group, and family therapy, academic support through accredited curriculum, and specialized life-skills training. Their intensive outpatient program (IOP) is more flexible, with after-school sessions that allow teens and adults to maintain connections with school or work while participating in structured clinical and experiential therapies. The center treats conditions such as depression, anxiety, trauma, eating disorders, self-harming behaviors, ADHD, and substance use through evidence-based methods like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), eye movement therapy (EMDR), and attachment-based family therapy (ABFT). The Minneapolis facility places strong emphasis on integrating family involvement into every aspect of treatment, with parents and caregivers actively participating in therapy sessions and educational workshops. In addition to traditional therapy, they incorporate experiential activities such as yoga, art, music, and outdoor adventure programs like paddle-boating on nearby lakes to help clients build coping strategies and life skills. The center offers a gender-affirming and inclusive environment, with advisory connections to organizations like The Trevor Project to ensure LGBTQ+ clients receive sensitive and supportive care. Conveniently located in Uptown Minneapolis, the center accepts most major insurance plans, making its high-quality, evidence-based programs accessible to a wide range of families.
