Groups Offered

Day and Evening Intensive Non-Residential Programing

  • The Intensive Non-Residential Program is created for those with a diagnosed substance use disorder. Patients “Step Down” as they progress through the program. The length of each phase is dependent upon patient progress, completion of treatment plan goals and attendance. Average times are shown.
    • Phase 1: lasts 6-8 weeks with group 3 times per week plus a minimum of 1 weekly individual session
    • Phase 2: lasts 4-6 weeks with group 2 times per week plus a minimum of 1 individual session every 2 weeks
    • Phase 3: lasts 2-4 weeks with group 1 time per week with at least 1 individual during phase 3
  • Our Morning Program holds groups Mon, Wed and Thurs 9am-12pm
  • Our Afternoon Program holds groups Mon, Tues, Thurs 1-4pm
  • Our Evening Program holds groups Mon, Wed and Thurs 4:30pm-7:30pm
  • Family and Specialty groups are offered on Tuesday and Thursdays, times and groups vary.

Symmetry Program (Co-occurring Behavioral Health Group)

  • This group is for patients that have struggled to address their Substance Use and Mental Health conditions as well as to improve their quality of life. The intensity and complexity of presenting issues, their current level of functionality, and their limited competencies reduce their capacity to benefit from highly intense, fast-paced, complicated, short-term levels of service. SYMMETRY patients benefit more from an extended care behavioral health treatment approach that addresses the severity of the presenting conditions with incremental treatment planning, expanded time to work through and embrace the changes necessary to establish, test, and practice strategies to increase functionality, competency, and quality of life all the while experiencing varying intensities of substance use complications, mental health struggles, and the somewhat intense synergy between conditions.
  • Patients will normally be in the program for no more than 12 months with step downs in frequency, duration, and intensity of treatment as the patient achieves the goals and objectives of the treatment plan.
  • Groups are held Monday-Thursday 9am-1pm

Blue Earth County Treatment (Drug) Courts

  • Blue Earth County Treatment Court groups are Co-Occurring.
  • Co-Occurring groups run the same as the Step Down Program but have the added benefits of:
    • Psychoeducation/Mental Health Coping Skills groups
    • Access to Mental Health Provider On-Site
    • Weekly individual appointments with a Mental Health Provider (if there is not an established relationship with a community provider)
    • Weekly Multi-Disciplinary Staffing.
  • Our Morning Program holds groups Mon, Wed and Fri 9am-12pm
  • Our Afternoon Program holds group Mon, Tues and Thurs 1pm-4pm
  • Our Evening Program holds groups Mon, Wed and Thurs 4:30pm-7:30pm
  • Family and Specialty groups are offered on Tuesday and Thursdays, times and groups vary.

Individualized Treatment Services

  • Shorter, individualized services can be done within either the traditional or co-occurring groups when referred for this particular program via assessment, discharge summary or counselor recommendation. Length of treatment, number of individual sessions and groups each week are dependent upon recommendations, the participant’s individual progress, completion of treatment plan goals and attendance.
  • Group three times a week and integrated with the regular IOP Step Down Program (see schedules listed for the appropriate program above).
  • Weekly individual sessions are scheduled with your counselor.
  • For patients who may not benefit from the group experience. They may receive recommendations to complete individual sessions, per their treatment plan.
