On Belay House offers hope in Plymouth, Minnesota for adolescent males aged 13 to 18 who are struggling with substance abuse. This residential treatment center is part of the Anthony Louis Center which offers a nurturing and structured environment to foster sobriety and personal growth.
The facility accepts private insurance, state funding and self pay options. They also have sliding fee scales for affordability. While specific costs aren’t publicly detailed, you are encouraged to contact the center for insurance verification or financial aid options.
The facility provides primary and extended care programs with stays ranging from 45 to 60 days for primary treatment and 60 to 120 days for extended care. The length of stay will depend on each client’s clinical needs, environmental factors or legal requirements.
As a resident, you’ll receive 24 hour supervision, all meals and a structured setting that includes clinical groups, psychoeducational lectures, family counseling and recreational activities. Random drug screenings will be done to ensure accountability.
The program is tailored to address the unique emotional and social challenges teens face. Teens will learn to develop skills to cope with life’s stresses without turning to drugs or alcohol.
I like that family involvement is encouraged through counseling and family night lectures to strengthen relationships and support recovery. The program also incorporates 12 step therapy and is accredited by SAMHSA and the Minnesota Department of Human Services.
Additional services include vocational training and educational support such as high school coursework or GED preparation. They have a multidisciplinary team that includes licensed counselors and a medical director.
Our Methodology
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.
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.
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.
Sober Living Houses (SLHs), aka sober homes or halfway houses, are safe, substance-free, supportive living facilities for those recovering from substance abuse. Ideal for those who've just been through inpatient or outpatient treatment, SLHs are supervised environments with rules that support sobriety, such as curfews, shared chores, and therapeutic meetings. Residents are also often trained on life skills and coping skills to make it easier to transition into society. SLHs also provide a strong sense of community that can lead to the kind of deep and lasting connections with other sober individuals that supports a new, healthy lifestyle.
12-step programs are addiction recovery models based on Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). A number of substance abuse programs (including some drug and alcohol rehab centers) use the 12 steps as a basis for treatment. Beginning steps involve admitting powerlessness over the addiction and creating a spiritual basis for recovery. Middle steps including making direct amends to those who've been hurt by the addiction, and the final step is to assist others in addiction recovery in the same way. 12-Step offshoots including Narcotics Anonymous (NA), Cocaine Anonymous (CA), Dual Recovery Anonymous (DRA), Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous (SLAA) and Gamblers Anonymous (GA).
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.
A combined mental health and substance abuse rehab has the staff and resources available to handle individuals with both mental health and substance abuse issues. It can be challenging to determine where a specific symptom stems from (a mental health issue or an issue related to substance abuse), so mental health and substance abuse professionals are helpful in detangling symptoms and keeping treatment on track.
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.
Recovery is most successful when clients feel accepted and validated by their peers and treatment providers. Facilities that offer LGBTQ-inclusive programming are committed to creating a safe space where everyone can grow and recover without fear of judgment or discrimination. They will have dedicated policies in place to create a safe and supportive environment that fosters free expression.
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.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a modified form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a treatment designed to help people understand and ultimately affect the relationship between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. DBT is often used for individuals who struggle with self-harm behaviors, such as self-mutilation (cutting) and suicidal thoughts, urges, or attempts. It has been proven clinically effective for those who struggle with out-of-control emotions and mental health illnesses like Borderline Personality Disorder.
Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a clinical approach to helping people with substance abuse issues and other conditions shift behavior in positive ways. It is more goal-oriented than traditional psychotherapy, as MI counselors directly attempt to get clients to consider making behavioral change (rather than wait for them to come to conclusions themselves). Its primary purpose is to resolve ambivalence and help clients become able to make healthy choices freely.
Rational Behavior Therapy (RBT) is a form of cognitive behavioral therapy meant to be short-term and comprehensive. It was intended to help clients become more self-sufficent and move forward without the need for expensive, ongoing therapy. It includes an emotional self-help method called “rational self-counseling,” the purpose of which is to give clients all the skills needed to handle future emotional issues by themselves, or with significantly less professional help.
Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.
The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) is a branch of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Established in 1992 by congress, SAMHSA's mission is to reduce the impact of substance abuse and mental illness on American's communities.

"As a probation agent working closely with at-risk juveniles, I have had the opportunity to refer several clients to Anthony Louis Center – On-Belay House, and the results have been overwhelmingly positive. This program provides a structured and therapeutic environment effectively addressing substance use and behavioral challenges while fostering personal growth and responsibility. One of the most valuable aspects of On-Belay House is its individualized approach to treatment. The staff takes the time to understand each resident’s unique circumstances, tailoring their interventions to meet specific needs. Many of my clients struggle with co-occurring mental health issues, trauma, or a lack of stable family support, and this program excels at addressing those complex factors through counseling, life skills training, and relapse prevention strategies. Another key strength is the program’s emphasis on accountability and personal development. The structured setting helps youth establish healthy routines, develop coping mechanisms, and build resilience. I have witnessed firsthand how young people who enter the program with little motivation or hope leave with a newfound sense of purpose and confidence. The program also prioritizes family involvement, which is crucial in maintaining long-term success once juveniles’ transition back into their communities. Additionally, the professionalism and dedication of the staff set On-Belay House apart. They are compassionate yet firm, creating an environment where youth feel supported but also challenged to make meaningful changes. Program staff communicate effectively with stakeholders, ensuring that progress updates are timely and that reentry plans are comprehensive and realistic. As an example of staff’s dedication, one of my clients worked through a restorative justice program after completing inpatient treatment, and their assigned counselor drove to their final meeting in-person, which occurred several months after his discharge from inpatient treatment and was an hour-plus drive for the staff. Overall, Anthony Louis Center – On-Belay House is a highly effective program for at-risk youth in need of substance use treatment and behavioral support. I have seen significant positive changes in my clients who have participated, making it a vital resource in helping young individuals get back on track. I highly recommend this program to fellow probation agents and juvenile justice professionals seeking a structured, evidence-based intervention for their clients. "
Thanks to this place with my whole heart. I learned a lot of valuable life lessons and am grateful to have had the opportunity to learn what I did when I was there. I greatly appreciate what on-belay has taught me. I will carry these lessons with me for life.
Our son recently was discharged from this facility because he was not following the program. We know it had to do with HIM and his unwillingness to try and don’t put any of that on the staff. Everyone was so down to earth, non judgemental, patient and just all around kind to us from the day we reached out. They kept us in the loop with everything that was happening and were always gracious to us during random pop ins or family visits with our other crazy kids. The rooms and especially bathrooms were very well kept and clean, our son LOVED the food, and even though the entire experience was positive for us I think the most impressive thing was how caring and helpful they were when it was time for our son to go. They kept him longer than they had to and made him feel loved and heard in our last meeting together when I picked him up. They also went above and beyond helping us place him in another facility by providing all necessary information, paperwork and referrals etc - things that would’ve taken me weeks to do on my own. Thank you for the work you’re doing with these kids, On Belay!
