Most of our programs are available in group or individual settings for adults or adolescents. Services offered include Evaluations, DUI and MIP/MIC classes, Low and High Intensity Outpatient Treatment, Life Management, Healing Touch, and Cognitive Restructuring.

PRIME for Life Programs (MIP& DUI PROGRAMS)

All the above programs are non-judgmental, research based, risk reduction programs. They do not focus on why individuals drink, rather how much and how often they drink. Participants get all the information they need to reduce their risk for alcohol and drug problems. The choices are left to them. ----- Our instructors are certified by the Prevention Research Institute, Lexington, Kentucky. The seminars and instructors are licensed by the state of ND.

Low Intensity Treatment

Low Intensity Outpatient treatment is quite flexable and may be utilized by clients in substance abuse or geared to clients in substance dependence. Low Intensity Outpatient Treatment is 8 hours or less per week of group or individual time. It may serve as primary treatment or as a aftercare program. Individuals who may need an extended time, at a lesser intensity then Intensive Outpatient Treatment, would be eligible for Low Intensity.

Intensive Outpatient Treatment

Heart River's IOP treatment program is a composed of education, cognitive restructuring, group sessions and the Steps of recovery. The physical, emotional and spiritual components of addiction and recovery are addressed.

Our Intensive Outpatient Treatment (IOP) is designed to be accessible to the individual. Clients can complete the program in 4-5 continuous weeks. Groups meet twice a week from 5:30 to 9:30pm.

IOP is indicated for individuals who are able to abstain from alcohol and drugs, without being in a hospital setting, and who are motivated and responsible enough to attend all sessions.

Cognitive Restructuring

Cognitive Restructuring is a program focused on looking at an individuals thinking patterns that cause harm to self or others. Thoughts, feelings, actions, values, beliefs and risk are explored through a series of guided written Thinking Reports and Risk Check-Ins.

Life Management

Life Management is a copyrighted program of Ernie Larson Enterprises. It is best described as Stage II Recovery, meaning it is a program of continuing recovery beyond the initial crisis resolution of early recovery. Participants choose an issue that has been persistent in their life and work through the process of habit to come to a life changing resolution. Life Management is not limited to recovering alcoholics, it is appropriate for business as a personal development program.

Solutions Program

The Solutions program is an evidence based program for indivudals in Alcohol Abuse. Clients may be an individual who has completed the DUI Seminar but has a 2nd offense. It continues on from the philosphy of the DUI seminar and goes deeper. The program is intended for adults and we generally do this program in individual sessions.
