About Common Ground
Located in South Rochester, Minnesota, is the addiction treatment center, Common Ground. This is an organization that provides chemical use assessments, intensive outpatient care, interventions and family support programs. They work with adults, youth and families who have been impacted by substance use struggles.
Their Rochester office has a dedicated intensive outpatient program (IOP). There’s also a housing component that’s offered for both men and women. While living in these gender separated residential facilities, you receive supportive care through the intensive outpatient program.
Their approach to treatment is grounded in evidence based practices including counseling and skills building. Through this, you’ll build healthy habits to help guide your sobriety.
As you progress through the program you’ll get connected to different community resources including AA and NA meetings. Various recovery meetings and events that encourage sobriety are also available in the community. You’ll be informed of these meetings and events and will be encouraged to attend to continue building your recovery skills.
I value that there’s a strong focus on building a sense of community here, and you’ll connect with other recovering individuals in various stages of their recovery journey. You don’t feel isolated or alone as you receive services here, and the peer support you’ll find can be essential to helping you reach your recovery goals.
As an educator, I find their teen and youth programs to be incredibly valuable. At risk children and those who are already struggling with substance use are supported in full force. Teens get to connect with other children in recovery, and they’ll benefit from the supportive peer community they’ll find here.
Latest Reviews
This place is a fantastic transition from inpatient to IOP. The PRS's are super helpful and a huge benefit in your journey through recovery. The owners are wonderful people, engaging and really care about the clients as well. I couldn't say enough good things about my time here. Thanks for all you guys did!
Co-Ed hotel setting for lodging creates a very unhealthy and triggering environment for vulnerable women & men to focus on their relationships rather than their recovery. So many inappropriate relationships and staff members who are new in Recovery themselves, demonstrate their arrogance and lack of respect for a disease that is killing people every minute. It s very sad
If you are looking for help for yourself or a loved one, the staff at Common Ground are phenomenal. They will provide you with all of the tools you will need to live a clean and sober life. They are tough when they need to be but also very accepting of wherever you are on your own journey to a healthy life. Common Ground provides you with a safe and caring environment while teaching you the life skills needed for successful life changes. Highly recommend!

Other Forms of Payment
Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.
Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.
Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.
Financial aid can take many forms. Centers may have grants or scholarships available to clients who meet eligibility requirements. Programs that receive SAMHSA grants may have financial aid available for those who need treatment as well. Grants and scholarships can help you pai for treatment without having to repay.
Military members, veterans, and eligible dependents have access to specific insurance programs that help them get the care they need. TRICARE and VA insurance can help you access low cost or no cost addiction and mental health treatment. Programs that accept military insurance often have targeted treatment focused on the unique challenges military members, veterans, and their families face.
Addiction Treatments
Levels of Care
Outpatient Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.
Treatments
The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.
Drug addiction is defined as an inability to stop using drugs even though it causes negative consequences in your life. Drug rehab in Minnesota provides treatment for drug addiction in a variety of settings including inpatient treatment and outpatient treatment.
Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.
Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.
Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.
Programs
Adult Program
Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.
Young Adult Program
Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.
Clinical Services
In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.
Families in Minnesota use family therapy to understand the roles they play in addiction. Each member plays a role and contributes to a pattern of behavior. Families learn to interact in healthier ways that support each other and contribute to their loved one's journey to recovery.
