ABOUT RS EDEN
Located in Minneapolis, Minn., RS EDEN offers gender-separate residential and outpatient treatment, as well as sober living facilities, for adult men and women struggling with substance use and co-occurring disorders. RS EDEN specializes in treating individuals involved in the criminal justice system, the homeless, and parents of young children. According to a 2016 SAHMSA survey, the facility is part of the 24.3 percent of facilities in the state to offer specialized treatment for criminal justice clients.
TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT
Upon admission, clients participate in an initial assessment to determine individual needs. The length of stay and specific program depend on the individual’s progress in treatment and level of need.
RS EDEN’s programming includes individual counseling, case management, group counseling (including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) groups), education about substance use, relapse prevention training, and life skills training.
The center also offers recreational and social activities, helps in setting up healthcare benefits, as well as facilitates connections to community-based resources. Psychological care is also available. The sole staff member polled by Best-rehabs.com to date also indicated that 12-step involvement plays a large role in overall programming. Bi-weekly health education is also incorporated into the women’s program, which may focus on childcare, HIV/STD prevention, and setting boundaries.
Outpatient services range in intensity, from one hour per month to 30 hours a week, and offers similar treatment methods as the residential program. Some outpatient clients live in the organization’s sober living facilities.
The organization also provides continuing care, which includes group and individual counseling, housing location assistance, and support for employment, legal, and financial issues. Continuing care is available for three to six months, depending on the needs of the client. There are also services to assist with family reunification.
