Nystrom & Associates, Ltd. Co-Occurring Treatment Programs are licensed by the Minnesota Department of Human Services under Rule 31 and are supported by our Rule 29 mental health multidisciplinary staff. We treat chemical dependency and mental health diagnoses with an integrated approach. Our programs are designed for individuals experiencing the personal impact and negative consequences from alcohol or drug use. Consequences often result in personal dissatisfaction, negative impact on relationships with family and friends, poor performance in school or on the job, and legal consequences. Additionally, people may suffer from specific emotional problems such as depression, anxiety, mood disorders, personality disorders, or other mental diagnoses. We understand the relationship between substance dependence and emotional and mental health issues, and offer integrated treatment in order to address both dimensions. Licensed Alcohol & Drug Counselors, Mental Health Professionals, and Mental Health Practitioners work as a team to help patients work through complex problems and develop a strong recovery plan. Prior to treatment admission, a Licensed Alcohol & Drug Counselor completes a Rule 25 chemical dependency assessment to determine the impact the use of substances is having in one's life and make recommendations for the appropriate level of care. This CD assessment process includes routine screening for co-occurring conditions. Patients enrolled in our program as a result of their CD assessment will also complete a mental health assessment to determine any areas of need. Our programs serve a wide spectrum of co-occurring needs. Each patient entering treatment will work with their assigned counselor to determine the core areas they wish to focus on in treatment and develop an individualized treatment plan to assist the patient in reaching their goals. Treatment programming for adults and adolescents utilizes an evidence-based, interactive curriculum that is easy to use and understand. Core programming also utilizes Motivational Interviewing, focus on Integrated Treatment, Stage Wise Treatment strategies, Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills education, and 12 step explorations. These strategies are delivered through interactive journaling, group sessions, educational lectures and guest speakers, and weekly individual counseling sessions. A strong collaborative relationship with our Adult Rehabilitative Mental Health Services and Professional Family Based Division programs offers eligible patients access to services to assist them in stabilizing their recovery environment in their home or community.

Where can I enroll for online drug abuse counseling?

Online drug abuse counseling is increasingly available, offering a convenient and flexible option for those seeking help with substance use disorders. You can enroll in online counseling through several different types of services. Here are a few to consider:

• Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA): This U.S. government agency provides a treatment services locator on their website, which can be used to find both local and online resources.
• Private Therapy Platforms: Numerous online platforms, such as Talkspace or BetterHelp, connect individuals with licensed therapists who are trained in treating substance abuse. These platforms offer a variety of communication options, including messaging, video calls, and phone sessions.
• Local Healthcare Providers: Many hospitals, clinics, and private practitioners have started offering teletherapy services, especially in the wake of increased demand during the COVID-19 pandemic. Check with local providers to see if this is an option.
• Insurance Providers: If you have health insurance, check with your provider to see if they cover online substance abuse counseling. They may have a list of preferred providers or platforms.
• Online Support Groups: While not a replacement for professional counseling, online support groups can be a valuable part of a recovery strategy. Groups like Narcotics Anonymous and SMART Recovery offer online meetings.
• Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs): If you're employed, your workplace may offer an EAP, which often includes mental health resources and may cover substance abuse counseling.

What is a medical detox?

Medical detox, also known as medically supervised detoxification, is the process of safely managing the physical symptoms of withdrawal from substances like alcohol, opioids, or other drugs under the supervision of healthcare professionals. This process is typically the first step in a comprehensive treatment plan for substance use disorders.

The goal of medical detox is to minimize the physical harm caused by withdrawal and to alleviate discomfort. Here's what it typically involves:

Evaluation: This first step includes a thorough assessment of the individual's physical and mental health, as well as the extent and nature of their substance use. This information is used to design an appropriate and personalized detox and treatment plan.

Stabilization: During this phase, medical professionals administer treatment to manage withdrawal symptoms and ensure the patient's safety. This may involve the use of medications to ease symptoms and prevent complications. Medical staff monitor the patient's vital signs like heart rate, blood pressure, and temperature, and may provide nutritional support and hydration as needed.

Preparation for Further Treatment: Once the acute phase of detox is complete, the focus shifts to preparing the individual for further treatment, such as inpatient or outpatient rehab. This may involve counseling or therapy to help the individual understand the importance of continuing treatment to maintain long-term recovery.
