A 2-Hour interview and needs
evaluation. Courses are available from

Saturdays. Assessments and evaluations

This course is a 2-week,
6-session assessment of possible chemical dependency for those lacking
awareness or borderline abuse diagnosis.
Clear recommendations are given to ensure ongoing care as needed.
RRTC focuses on education and
therapeutic techniques including traditional 12-step MN model. Staff is licensed and experienced in
developing individualized treatment plans tailored to meet our client’s
immediate and long-term remission needs.
The clients are provided a wide variety of powerful rational and
behavioral tools to combat denial and cravings resulting in high quality
sobriety. Group meets three times
weekly for approximately seven weeks for a total of 60 hours. Day and evening programming is available.
Continuing care follows the completion of Primary Treatment and is available
for twelve weeks, one or two times weekly.
This is based on client’s individual needs. Individual sessions and family conferences as needed are also
provided.
RRTC recognizes the special needs
of women in recovery. We have developed
a unique and innovative program to meet those needs based on the research of
Dr. Stephanie Covington’s “Helping Women Recover Curriculum”. Women receive basic drug and alcohol
education, gender specific cognitive skill training, relapse prevention
education, family programming, individual session and long-term sobriety
maintenance planning utilizing community resources, referrals and wrap-around
services. WRP is co-facilitated by a
licensed chemical dependency counselor and a Master’s level mental health
counselor. Group meets two-time weekly,
along with individual sessions according to client’s schedule for approximately
20 weeks – 70 hours. Continuing Care
sessions are available one or two times weekly for twelve weeks or longer
depending on individual needs. The
Covington curriculum has been very successful for recidivist, MI/CD clients and
women involved with corrections.
River Ridge’s Comprehensive
Family Program consists of therapeutic and educational programming from the
beginning or Primary treatment and continues through our Relapse program and
beyond if needed. The three-hour
sessions focus on family involvement lectures such as “Brain Chemistry”,
“Impacts of chronic disease on Family Systems”, “Relapse Prevention” and
“Stress Management”. The interest level
has been overwhelmingly positive. We
also offer individual family sessions to any client who needs it as a part of
Primary, Relapse or Aftercare treatment.
RRTC’s Relapse Prevention program
is customized to meet our client’s individual needs. The customized plan begins with the evaluation. Though relapse is an unfortunate reality of
addictive disease, re-stabilization and ongoing remission is a combination of
education, identification of triggers and warning signs, high-risk situations,
development of non-chemical coping mechanisms and stress prevention. Through careful assessment we assist our
clients in identifying the cause of the relapse and focusing the treatment plan
on addressing these issues. Clients are
offered a combination of group lectures and individual sessions customized to meet
their needs. Average RPP is 36 to 48
hours.
See above for details. Women’s
concerns are discussed and resolved in gender specific groups with female
staff. The Covington curriculum (see
Women’s Recovery) has been very successful with recidivist clients.
Continuing
Care Programs are an integral part of the Primary programs set forth
above. RRTC has both day and evening
programs available that meet for twelve weekly, two-hour sessions – a total of
24 hours. Continuing Care will continue
beyond 12 weeks as needed for the individual client without charge if followed by
Primary treatment.
