Minnesota House About us

Our Mission

To guide substance dependent persons back into a productive, healthy and sober lifestyle.

People addicted to substances come from various backgrounds but all lack the understanding of how to deal with their addiction. Minnesota House addresses their individual issues and educates them accordingly through the holistic treatment approach. In collaboration with other professionals, the treatment team remains up to date with the latest developments in the field.

Our Vision

Since the recovery process plan will need to vary from person to person, a team of experts will help each individual to develop a personal treatment plan that targets all aspects of the disease – physical, emotional and spiritual. The program is firmly rooted in the belief that “People help people heal”.

Treating the whole person as well as the illness
