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.

We have been long-time clients of NorthPoint Health and Wellness Center as a family, and we truly appreciate the consistent quality of care and service we receive. The recent renovations and upgrades have made a noticeable difference—it's clear that the center is committed to providing a welcoming and modern environment for their patients. The new resources and amenities are incredibly helpful and demonstrate their dedication to comprehensive care. The facility is always clean, well-maintained, and organized, which helps create a comfortable atmosphere for us and our children. We also value the efficiency of the staff; appointments are quick, and we never feel rushed, yet all our questions and concerns are thoroughly addressed. One minor downside we've encountered is getting in touch with the records department. It can be challenging to reach someone, and they don’t always come through promptly when we or other clinics and doctors try to get in touch. Despite this, overall, NorthPoint continues to be a trusted healthcare partner for our family, and we highly recommend their services to anyone seeking quality, accessible health and wellness care.

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.

As a health worker myself , I understand the challenges medical facilities face, but the administrative staff here demonstrated a severe lack of training and professionalism. I received a call to reschedule my appointment, but the representative did not know which providers administered which procedures, making the process incredibly difficult. When I called back to finalize the appointment, the front desk staff was dismissive, aggressive, and highly resistant to helping me schedule. I had to repeatedly guide the receptionist just to get an appointment booked. There is a deeply disappointing lack of empathy and basic competency from the front-facing staff here.

That's a negative star. Keep your dignity and go someplace else. The Dr's do not care about you or your health. I went to establish care and felt like she didn't hear me. She offered no advice and acted like I didn't know anything. I wanted specific blood work done and she didn't want to do it. When the blood work came back and certain things were elevated she didn't tell me what i could do or next steps. Probably because she thought since I knew so much I could figure it out myself. I will never go back. I have private insurance. This place felt like an institution. Go where you are valued.
