Terrible experience every time I’ve stepped foot in this hospital. Waits are extremely long at the ER so we refuse to go here. Release of information took over a month to send out notifications to me that I had missed a signature spot AFTER I CALLED IN TWICE ASKING WHERE M ...
About Trinity Health – Riverside
For over 100 years, Trinity Health has been providing a wide range of primary and specialty health care to patients of all ages. Trinity Health is a non-profit healthcare system that serves northwest and central North Dakota and eastern Montana. Their Riverside outpatient clinic is located on the east side of Minot, North Dakota.
This facility is a multi-specialty clinic that provides a range of outpatient mental health services for kids, teens and adult patients. That includes treatment for drug and alcohol addiction. This building also houses an educational center.
Supporting folks who tend to not be able to access healthcare is important to Trinity Health. They offer financial assistance for low-income and uninsured individuals.
Addiction Services in Minot
Trinity Health Riverside provides outpatient addiction services for people who have substance use disorder. To get started, you’ll be screened to figure out the right level of care you need. The Riverside team includes a psychiatrist, nurses and nurse practitioners, licensed social workers, licensed addiction counselors, and other professionals.
I like that there’s a licensed addiction counselor on call 7 days a week. If you need more intensive treatment than the outpatient care they have at Riverside, they can refer you to other facilities in the Trinity Health network too. They offer a full scope of services from medically supervised detox to low-intensity aftercare programs.
Substance Use Counseling for North Dakota Residents
Treatment for substance use disorders revolves primarily around therapy. Clients will participate in both group therapy and individual counseling sessions. Trinity Health leans into the 12 steps principles to help clients make lifestyle changes to support long term recovery.
Family sessions are encouraged to support the whole family unit in healing and moving forward in new healthy ways.
Latest Reviews
My new therapist decided to stop all my meds because she didn't like me. She said I would die from a heart attack even after I saw a real Cardiologist who said my heart is healthy. I was fired from two jobs because of her medical negligence. Then they dropped me as a patient saying I am completely healed of PTSD, Anxiety, Disassociate Disorder, & ADHD. I do not recommend their services unless you don't mind having therapist tell you about their problems & not helping you personally.
Took 35 days to get an appointment and then I got rescheduled the day of
Becky who answers the phones here is very curt and rude. You would expect someone answering phones for mental health patients would have a little more kindness in their voice.

Accepted Insurance
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.
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.
Addiction Treatments
Levels of Care
Outpatient 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.
Treatments
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.
Programs
Adult Program
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 Adult Program
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
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.
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.
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.
Whether a marriage or other committed relationship, an intimate partnership is one of the most important aspects of a person's life. Drug and alcohol addiction affects both members of a couple in deep and meaningful ways, as does rehab and recovery. Couples therapy and other couples-focused treatment programs are significant parts of exploring triggers of addiction, as well as learning how to build healthy patterns to support ongoing sobriety.
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.
Tobacco use leads to nicotine dependence. This means your body has become dependent on the substance, and you'll experience withdrawal if you stop using it. Nicotine replacement therapy gives you nicotine in the form of patches, sprays, gum, or lozenges to relieve withdrawal symptoms and help you quit successfully.
