Allina Health’s Mercy Hospital in Coon Rapids, Minnesota, has some strong programs for treatment of mental health, behavioral, and addiction issues. On top of being a full service physical and mental health hospital with an emergency room to address crisis situations there are inpatient, partial hospitalization (PHP), and outpatient care programs available for adults.
One unique service that they offer is an expressive arts and mindfulness mental health day treatment for adults. It offers more than just talk therapy as a way to get in touch with your emotions and gain perspective on life. It’s not far from Mercy Park if you’d like to self-reflect in the great outdoors. There’s also an adult rehabilitation mental health program.
It’s also unique because it has a Mental Health and Addictions Connection line that allows you to connect with resources for addiction or mental illness questions and concerns anytime day or night. After your initial contact, there’s an assessment done to see what your needs are and to develop an individual treatment program to meet those needs.
The drug and alcohol program typically lasts three to four months and is often covered by health insurance. If you require more support than this program offers (less than nine hours a week) then you may also attend an intensive outpatient program.
There are also addiction treatment programs for adolescents through other locations of Allina Health such as Mercy Unity in Fridley. A comprehensive mental health assessment will be performed to ensure the right programs and services are in place.
Group therapy is flexible with groups held in the morning and afternoon. Individual therapy sessions can be scheduled on any weekday except Wednesday. They’re closed on the weekend.

Our Methodology
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.
Medicare is a federal program that provides health insurance for those 65 and older. It also serves people under 65 with chronic and disabling health challenges. To use Medicare for addiction treatment you need to find a program that accepts Medicare and is in network with your plan. Out of pocket costs and preauthorization requirements vary, so always check with your provider.
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.
Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.
Mental health rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from mental illnesses like bipolar disorder, clinical depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, and more. Mental health professionals at these facilities are trained to understand and treat mental health issues, both in individual and group settings.
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 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.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.
ECT is a form of treatment in which controlled electric currents are passed through the brain, sometimes causing short seizures. Treatments are done under general anesthesia. ECT appears to change brain chemistry for the better, and has been shown to provide fast and sometimes dramatic improvements in severe mental health conditions that can exist alongside addiction, including depression, bipolar disorder, psychosis, and suicidality. ECT is also often used by those who prefer it to taking medication.
Experiential therapy is a form of therapy in which clients are encouraged to surface and work through subconscious issues by engaging in real-time experiences. Experiential therapy departs from traditional talk therapy by involving the body, and having clients engage in activities, movements, and physical and emotional expression. This can involve role-play or using props (which can include other people). Experiential therapy can help people process trauma, memories, and emotion quickly, deeply, and in a lasting fashion, leading to substantial and impactful healing.
Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.
Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) is a way of getting nicotine into the bloodstream without smoking. It uses products that supply low doses of nicotine to help people stop smoking. The goal of therapy is to cut down on cravings for nicotine and ease the symptoms of nicotine withdrawal.
Nutrition therapy, aka medical nutrition therapy (MNT), is a way of treating physical, emotional, and medical conditions through diet. Specific dietary plans are designed by professional nutritionists or registered dietitians, and patients follow them in order to positively affect their physical and mental health.

The worst emergency room in life, they do not care about the patient or how severe the emergency is, they care that they pay what is due and as fast as possible! I do not recommend it but not even jokingly
Could not get response from anyone, just transferring call.
4 stars because I can’t speak on the ER department, but I received my first iron infusion on 12/09 in the infusion center of the hospital and had a wonderful experience. The nurses made sure I was comfortable and they were very nice. 10/10 recommend getting any infusion here.
I've had a few really great experiences at Mercy, as well as my husband. Most recent was a trip to the ER after consulting with a triage nurse, the ER would have the scans and technology I needed. Was admitted into a room right away (8am on a Thurs) and Dr was in within minutes. The nurses took great care to check on me often and connect me to an IV and started pushing pain meds for my symptoms. Turned out I needed surgery and the doctor that came to brief me in it explained all options as well as risks and possible outcomes. We decided on a plan of action on advance and now I'm 5 weeks post op and healed perfectly. The pre-op nurses were amazing as well as the post-op nurses. Almost the highlights of my unfortunate trip to the hospital... I wish I remembered their names.
As a first-time father (11-4-25) still in the Hospital as i write this. Mercy has ruined my experience and made me not even feel like a parent but an issue within the room. We came here bc we thought they would respect our religious and medical beliefs. Even after constant talks with our doctors,I couldn't have been more wrong. If your beliefs are outside of theirs or your nurses/doctors, you get persecuted until they get the testing done they want regardless of your religion or personal medical preferences. They accuse you of hash drug use or whatever they can as a threat for DHS if you have a religious belief such as no dna collection from the baby. They will lie and say their legal team told them its state law and mandatory when it is not. Then, retract on if when called out. I had to contact my attorney twice and was still bothered by their scar tactics until i gave up our beliefs for whatever they wanted. They williterally tell you everything is wrong with your child bc they know as a first-time parent you will do anything to make sure your child is ok just so they are ustified in taking what they want. I will never come here and would rather bleed out on their sidewalk than be treated here again. Very disheartened to feel like an issue in the room instead of being able to celebrate our baby boy. lve held him once on his way to his mother and have had no bounding time with him like we were lead to believe I would. It breaks my heart to be treated like this and makes the thought of more children 100 times more scary for the future to the point where idk if i want more when all we wanted was a family. So the hospital lab director told us nothing was found to be wrong with the presenta as we were told by the doc, nor were any of the justifications they ised to take blood. No issues were found with our son during or after their harassment. Update: There are no legal actions anyone can do against mercy bc of their religious beliefs. They use their beliefs to override yours, and you give yours up as soon as you authorize treatments. Mercy has reached out apologizing for the situation with a letter, and we were apologized too from multiple nurses. None of these things get back to your first child experiences or our beliefs respected. Heart broken.
