Find Hope, Healing, and a Fresh Start

We provide a full continuum of care ranging from outpatient services to residential treatment, transition planning, and aftercare.  Our person-centered approach means we meet each person where they’re at and create a plan to address addiction, underlying causes of substance abuse, and provide tools and support for a lifetime of recovery and well-being.

You are more than your addiction – freedom and a new life starts right here.

Simple and Supportive Admissions Process

Our admissions process is designed to ease the stress of seeking help. From the first interaction, our expert team leads clients to a path of recovery as quickly as possible.

Initial Contact

If you’re concerned about your drug or alcohol use or you’re worried about a loved one, there are several ways to begin the Admissions process with one of our compassionate team members, including:

Incarcerated persons: Those in jail or prison may complete an In-Custody Application by asking for one from the Corrections Liaison, Admissions Department, or Jail Programmer.

Referrals: If you’re a medical professional looking to refer a client, please reach out to our Admissions Department at:

Comprehensive Assessment

​A Comprehensive Chemical Health Assessment is how a substance abuse or chemical dependency problem is assessed. It evaluates the extent of substance use, withdrawal potential and risks, relapse potential, looks at co-occurring concerns, and recovery support. The assessor then looks at all of the data comprehensively to determine the appropriate level of care needed for treatment.

After assessing overall chemical health we will help guide you through your options for funding, intake, treatment and aftercare.

Insurance Verification

We believe quality care should be accessible to everyone.  Mn Adult & Teen Challenge works with insurance providers to confirm coverage and discuss payment options.  Our team members are all MNSURE Navigators and will work to verify insurance coverage quickly and determine next steps.

Understanding Your Needs

Our team will work with the client to develop a customized care plan based on the assessment.

Admission Scheduling

Our team will set a date and time for the client to enter the program.  We offer transportation services across the state if travel to one of our campus locations is a barrier.

Here are some ways to plan for a successful intake:

  • Arrange a ride. Personal vehicles are prohibited from being parked in the lot or on side streets.
  • Arrive with no more than two 33-gallon plastic disposable bags of belongings.
  • You will be expected to take a urinary analysis and breathalyzer upon arrival for intake.
  • Have your form of identification, medications, and money easily accessible for staff to collect.
  • Bring or know your social security number for the admissions process.
  • MnTC is a non-smoking facility. All forms of tobacco, vapes, and e-cigarettes will not be allowed in the facility.
  • Nicotine patches and lozenges are allowed and will be prescribed by a provider. If you would like to bring a new and unopened package to begin immediately, please do so. If you are under the age of 18, these will need to be prescribed by a medical professional.

      "I didn't just stop using drugs and stay the same person. I stopped using drugs and I'm a completely new person - everything has changed."

      There's so much love here. I've never experienced anything like this.

      Before I came here, to me using drugs was completely normal. It's all I knew and all I saw. Now I want to stop the generational curse and be sober for my kids so they don't make the same mistakes I made.

      This place has what all my other treatment experiences have been missing.

      I'm very grateful to be here because they offer a really strong mental health program. I feel like I'm finally able to work on the deeper issues that keep bringing me back to addiction.
