Fairview Recovery Services

Fairview Recovery Services Minneapolis Minnesota

Fairview Recovery Services offers both inpatient and outpatient treatment options to assist individuals in their recovery from chemical addiction and to enhance their overall quality of life. Our comprehensive approach includes screening assessments, medically supervised detoxification, inpatient and outpatient evaluation and referral, combined inpatient to outpatient treatment sequences, family counseling, and aftercare. We understand that each person’s needs are unique and we are committed to designing an individualized program that addresses all aspects of their well-being, including physical, psychological, emotional, and spiritual needs.

ABOUT FAIRVIEW COUNSELING CENTERS:
Fairview Counseling Centers are an integral part of Fairview Health Services, a highly regarded healthcare system in Minneapolis that is recognized as one of the nonprofit treatment facilities in the state. Our Riverside Avenue location, situated near West River Parkway and the Mississippi River, provides outpatient treatment services for mental health disorders such as depression, anxiety, stress-related conditions, workplace issues, and marriage and family problems. It is worth noting that only a limited number of Minnesota facilities offer the service of marriage and family counseling. In addition, other Fairview locations offer counseling for gambling addiction.

TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT:
Upon admission, all patients undergo a comprehensive screening process to determine the most suitable treatment approach. Fairview Counseling Centers provide short-term, solution-centered therapy designed to define and resolve issues. Clients have the option to choose between intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) or outpatient treatment. IOP involves group therapy, individual counseling, relationship groups, and educational workshops, with a total of nine hours of programming each week, the duration of which is dependent on the client’s needs. Outpatient treatment is a step-down from IOP, with less frequent meetings and fewer hours each week.

Furthermore, our facility specializes in treating co-occurring mental health disorders, a service that is only offered by a minority (38%) of treatment facilities in the state. Clients with co-occurring disorders work with a dually-licensed therapist to develop skills that help manage symptoms without relying on substance use.

STAFF CREDENTIALS:
Our treatment team consists of highly qualified professionals, including psychologists, licensed alcohol and drug counselors, chemical dependency evaluation counselors, clinic therapists, licensed independent clinical social workers, and a nationally certified gambling counselor. The expertise and qualifications of our staff have been positively acknowledged by the 11 alumni and their loved ones who have provided feedback, with ratings averaging 3.5 out of 5 stars.

WHAT ALUMNI SAY:
Former clients who have been surveyed by Best-rehabs.com have expressed mixed opinions about our facility. While treatment effectiveness received a range of ratings, including perfect five-star ratings, a three-star rating, and a low two-star rating, some alumni expressed dissatisfaction with staff knowledge and inaccurate program information. Ratings for other categories, such as leisure options, holistic offerings, and family participation in treatment, were consistently below average. Additionally, counseling options received a low score of two stars from three respondents. However, satisfied alumni commended our program for the caring nature of our staff and the varied counseling services offered. One alumni stated, “This program is good. It helps focus on different aspects that each individual needs to work on such as depression, anxiety, grief, etc.”

WHAT FRIENDS & FAMILY SAY:
Fairview Counseling Centers received mostly positive feedback from the eight loved ones who were surveyed by Best-rehabs.com. They expressed satisfaction with the ability of family members to participate in treatment through our facility’s programming and their willingness to recommend our facility to others. Family members and friends also appreciated the quality of care provided to their loved ones, with one review highlighting that the facility is “affiliated with a major hospital.” The only complaint identified was regarding the lack of follow-up care, although another loved one viewed this as a strength.

FINANCING:
While specific information about the costs of our services is not currently available on our website, it is noteworthy that Fairview Recovery Services accepts Medicaid, state insurance (other than Medicaid), and Access to Recovery (ATR) vouchers. This financial flexibility has been positively acknowledged by the 11 former clients and their loved ones, who have given above-average ratings to this category and have indicated that treatment is affordable and that payment plans, scholarships, and financial assistance options are available.

  • Left the facility traumatized. I made a complaint with the ombudsman while in-patient (the staff trashed supportive notes my husband put in clothes he dropped off as a surprise for me, then swore at me when I went to the desk, crying, asking why they'd done that) and afterward there were searches of our rooms, gossip among the staff about me (my roommate told me some of it and both of us also heard one staff member talking about me with a patient!), implications made that I might be put on hold for two consecutive 72-hour periods (turns out no court allows that), and more violations of my rights...I was there voluntarily. Because of their terrible behavior, I wanted to leave over the weekend. They called the on-call doctor, who was supposed to meet with me and a family member who is a social worker—she was driving over an hour to be there to advocate for me. The doctor knew this, but circumvented the meeting by coming a half hour early. Then would not discharge me. Not meeting with family is a violation. There was a lot more than that. But that's some of the primary stuff. They were terrible people.
    I'm only speaking for fairview DETOX - they care! They try very hard to help you continue an after treatment program. Some of the nurses make your detox stay easier to deal with. There is not much programing during this phase but let's get real, everyone coming in is stoned, high, drunked, or half asleep. We are there to detox. The nurses, docs, social workers and case managers work diligently to help you find a solution for your miserable addiction. They don't judge - in fact, many of the staff are former addicts. So they understand. I wish they had better beds with nice plush pillows. The food is pretty good (surprisingly). Dudes, if you need a safe relaxing place to detox, I recommend them! Chicago ave detox is sooo scaring! Don't go there!

  • Taking an in depth look at why your drink or use. Delve into the past. Assisted wirh meds. Counseling was cool too. 3 weeks later one of my counselors was fired. Wish that i had felt more supported by them. Met a friend there and after 2+ years we are still friends. What are the chances? And thst we're both still sober:) Definitely worth it. They care and want you to be well. Only thing I'd maybe say us to incorporate some ideas as to how to stay clean on the outside. Aa, sbstinence and church, harm reduction, educate!!

  • Do not send your child here. I was just discharged today only because I lied my way out. I was so ready for help and to start to get my life on the right track, so I was voluntarily admitted to a hospital and put on a 72 hour hold. I never received an explanation of the program. I wasn't even told I was at a dual diagnosis center. I was totally ignored and received no support my first 2 days here. I only began working on discharge material after I learned on my own how the program worked and demanded all of my work. The "psychiatrist" didn't feel a suicidal patient needed any psych testing, but the girl who punched a paper towel dispenser did. I demanded to know when my 72 hour hold was up, and found out it was cancelled altogether. I decided along with my dad that the best thing for me was to leave because it was an incredible waste of time and wasn't receiving help, support, or even an assessment even though I heard the phrase "we are not a treatment center, we are an assessment center" countless times. The only assessment I received after being frustrated with the "psychiatrist"'s neglect for 2 days was "you're a very angry person." I decided to sign myself out because I am 18. The "psychiatrist", based on a premature assumption, decided to throw me back on a 72 hour hold due to one statement in a 2 minute conversation I had with him. The more honest you are with the staff, the less they do for you, and the longer you stay at "not a treatment center". None of my needs were met. The "psychiatrist" claims he is good at his job simply due to his 35 years of experience. His main goal is to save his job rather than the lives of the patients. There are rules, but they are not enforced the same by every staff. If the inconsistencies are called out, they make every attempt to create an excuse for their mistakes. The staff are also inconsistent and have bad attitudes. Some were great and were very supportive and helpful and agree this "program" is a dead end. Although, this place is a perfect fit for people incapable of searching "treatment center for ...." in google or if you're a pathetic excuse of a parent and just want a place to lock up your kid. They do not encourage honesty. In fact, you aren't allowed to talk about pretty much anything there. Everything is considered inappropriate and triggering. You go in in a vulnerable state needing treatment, and are basically trapped in that state of mind until you're able to manipulate yourself out. They lied about the circumstances and the events that occurred to my father, they eavesdropped on all conversations, and generalize every situation that walks in to that place. The only way I was able to talk to the "psychiatrist" was with a mediator so he could not manipulate my words to fit what would be best for his job. The only take-away I got from there is to be grateful I am not forever stuck there.

  • I don't really see any strengths in that place anymore. This place is conforming so bad. They are uneducated, don't know anything about science anymore, and don't even do any work anymore, they just let the machines do it. I had cbt treatment for my ocd there 4 years ago and that was the only highlight I can think of before the place turned bad.

  • Good therapists and nursing staff, good family participation when appropriate, and great follow up program. I think the combination of group and private treatment was a good fit, there was ample security to make sure the patient does not have access to substance, but still not made to feel like they are in lock up. They are treated with respect.

  • It is affiliated with a major hospital in the Minneapolis area, which is nice. However, there are not enough staff for the number of beds. The treatment was for my daughter struggling with cocaine and heroin addiction, there was great service while there, but the aftercare was lacking a little, she went back to using.

  • They have great groups but poor follow ups. I just think that once patients are released back out into the world, there should be more of a followup from the people at the rehab.

  • This program is good. It helps focus on different aspects that each individual needs to work on such as depression, anxiety, grief, etc. After treatment, there is 8-10 weeks of weekly meetings in after care. Then there is Phase III which is meeting in a group setting for check in and to discuss your week, what is working and what isn't. This is led by a volunteer person who leads these group meetings. It helps with communication and accountability. This is not a ... type of place with the amenities such as pools and walking paths. It is a good place that provides the tools that each person needs to focus on to stay sober.
