Owatonna Hospital is in Owatonna, Minnesota. The hospital is nonprofit and part of Allina Health. They offer comprehensive care to clients in Steele County. The featured services at this location are the birth and physical rehabilitation centers. Clients can be referred to their other facilities for inpatient and intensive outpatient substance use and co-occurring mental health disorder treatment. The hospital accepts many major health insurance plans, most Medicare Advantage, original Medicare, and Medicaid (Minnesota’s Medical Assistance).
Allina Health offers intensive addiction treatment through affiliate locations throughout Minnesota. If you’re in Owatonna and need support for difficulties with substance use and addiction, you can access virtual addiction therapy.
Virtual addiction therapy connects you with a qualified counselor or therapist to help you with addiction and mental health challenges. The providers specialize in other issues along with addiction. Some of the other specialties include LGBTQIA+, complex trauma, depression, anxiety, and other co occurring mental health issues.
Counseling may include an abstinence approach or harm reduction strategies. Most counselors use cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) as part of their virtual treatment.
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.
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.

My only complaint is that they are extremely understaffed. Besides that, they give good care. When I was there, everyone made sure that the process was easy for me and that I felt comfortable. Thank you for caring.
Care in the metro hospitals has been consistently better and far more affordable than what I’ve experienced at Owatonna Hospital. Owatonna Hospital is stuck in a confusing arrangement between Allina and Mayo. Patients are not told this up front, and the involvement only becomes clear when the bills arrive...along with the higher Mayo and rural facility charge pricing. The lack of transparency, combined with higher costs and complicated billing, makes Owatonna Hospital much less patient‑friendly than the metro Allina hospitals. Owatonna Hospital: I am posting this here because I did not get a patient survey after my ED visit last week (but I got a mysterious Mayo one, which is how I knew Mayo was going to be somehow involved behind the scenes without my knowledge) and when I told the Allina patient care associate about this, they told me this was not "a patient care concern." That's wrong. It's continuity of care and our experience. Our health records are spread across two health systems and MyCharts. I chose Allina, not Mayo, and we deserve better than this patchwork care model. It does impact our care and experience and we receive fragmented care. Go to the metro hospitals if you can. You get unfragmented care.
This review is specific to Nicole Arthur and the predatory billing practices being used by her and Allina. My son was referred to Nicole for treatment. Her only locations for service happen to be connected to hospitals. Separate entrance, not actually in the hospital. We were told these visits would be covered by insurance. Imagine the surprise when we received a bill for over $900. This was billed as a hospital visit and also included facility fees. The facility fees were different for each visit. Allina has yet to explain how the facility fees are assessed. Allina also told us facility fees can be assigned for virtual visits. Yeah, process that one. Insurance has told us Nicole can do her own billing rather than have the hospital do it and that could mitigate the hospital visit fee. We have tried to contact Nicole directly to discuss, but she refuses to return our phone calls. My son is now spiraling because of the costs and regrets trying to get help. He is worse than when we started. We stated this in our messages to Nicole, she seemingly does not care.
horribly billing, horrible management, rude call handlers. have 3 different bills for a 3 hour visit, requested itemized bill 3 weeks ago, and have nothing, was told could get by email then not, complete joke of a hospital, I do not recommend anyone go here
