About NorthPoint Health and Wellness Center

Home to the Mall of America, Minneapolis, Minnesota also features NorthPoint Health and Wellness Center. Established in 1968, this private, nonprofit health and human services agency serves northern Minneapolis residents of all ages. You can access comprehensive behavioral health services to start or continue your recovery journey.

Outpatient rehab provides the flexibility to get the care you seek while living at home and maintaining daily commitments. You can participate in personalized approaches with your recovery goals at the forefront. Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) for alcohol and opioids, tailored teen therapy, couple, individual, and family therapy, support groups, psychiatric care, and more are available.

Prioritizing Your Health and Safety

For me, their harm reduction services really caught my eye. They provide various approaches to improve overall health and reduce risks associated with substance use. You can access HIV and Hepatitis testing, free fentanyl testing strips, syringe exchange services, naloxone education and training, and more. They even offer free naloxone kits and health service referrals. That way, you can take precautions to stay safe even if you’re not ready to dive into your recovery journey.

Access to Care Regardless of Income

Another great thing I noticed about them is they’ll never deny services based on income. They accept most major insurance plans and offer benefits enrollment assistance. Even if you’re not eligible for insurance, you can still get the help you need. You can access income based discounts and payment plans based on your situation.

Inclusive Groups for Every Journey

I also think their expansive selection of support groups is fantastic. You can participate in targeted sessions to meet your unique needs. Groups for the LGBTQ+ community, co-occurring disorders, youth, women, chronic pain, and more are available.

Of these groups, their gender specific options for Hmong and Laotian men and women really stood out. I think it’s great that you’ll have a culturally relevant space to share your experiences and learn from others on similar paths.

Omg, today December 2nd 2025 I concluded that, it's the worst Denistry, employees, management of an business or organization in the Minneapolis & St.Paul Minnesota's metropolitan area & history. Because when I called to make an Dentist appointment at 7:59 AM (right before opening time at 8AM) the line stays busy for 3-4 hours straight, and then when & if they finally answer their phone lines, they immediately hang up & disconnect the phone call before a word is even mentioned. Or they tell after waiting on the phone for 45 minutes they always claim their schedules are FULL & you have "call & try AGAIN NEXT MONTH!" And the when try next month on the 1st, 2nd, & 3rd too, the same cycle repeats months after months & I live literally 1 block on Russell Ave & can’t make appointment in person either unless I want to sit all day for hours & "hope for cancelation" they always tell me too. And this cycle has been like this since November 2021. So I end up having to go somewhere across town several miles far away, which is pathetic for a DNC community, city, & state politics. But I guess because its on the notorious Northside of Minneapolis, apparently ABSOLUTELY NO ONE CARES at ALL,. Now I understand why the community rebels, retaliate, against those who supposedly governs the metropolitan areas & etc, etc...smh

NorthPoint Wellness Center has truly made a positive impact on my life. Their housing program gave me the support and stability I needed during a difficult time. The staff went above and beyond to help me get back on my feet, always treating me with kindness, respect, and genuine care. Through their program, I was able to find safe, affordable housing and connect with valuable resources that helped me focus on my health and personal growth. They didn’t just provide housing — they helped me rebuild confidence, stability, and a sense of community. I’m deeply thankful for the compassion and dedication of everyone at NorthPoint. Their program has been life-changing, and I’m grateful for all the opportunities and support they’ve provided.

Excellent service, excellent attention. I think the wait is normal because I've been to others and the wait is the same or longer, but as of today, November 2025, the service is 10/10.

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.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

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.

Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) are for those who want or need a very structured treatment program but who also wish to live at home and continue with certain responsibilities (such as work or school). IOP substance abuse treatment programs vary in duration and intensity, and certain outpatient rehab centers will offer individualized treatment programs.

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 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.

Clinical Services

Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.

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.

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.
