Who We Serve at Our Psychiatric Residential Treatment Facility in Minnesota

Our IRTS facility welcomes individuals 18 years to 36 years old experiencing significant mental health challenges. Residents often find us through different sources. These include self-referrals, hospitals, clinics, and programs from the Minnesota Department of Human Services.

We assist individuals facing anxiety, mood disorders, trauma, and co-occurring substance use disorders. Our goal is to provide mental health services that promote stability and long-term success.

Comprehensive Treatment Plans

Every resident at The Recovery Academy receives a personalized treatment plan tailored to their unique needs. Upon admission, the staff conducts a Diagnostic Assessment (DA). They also have a Level of Care Utilization System (LOCUS) evaluation and a Substance Use Assessment (SUA). These assessments help decide the right types of treatment for them.

Evidence-Based Mental Health Services

Our IRTS program utilizes evidence-based therapies to assist residents in building resilience strategies and attaining mental stability. These therapies include:

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT):

CBT helps individuals identify and change negative thought patterns, promoting healthier behaviors and emotional well-being.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT):

DBT teaches valuable skills for managing emotions, improving relationships, and enhancing self-control in difficult situations.

Mindfulness-Based Practices:

Mindfulness techniques encourage individuals to stay present, reduce stress, and build emotional resilience by fostering self-awareness.

Experiential Therapies:

Experiential therapies use creative activities and real-life experiences to help individuals process emotions, improve coping skills, and strengthen personal growth.

These approaches empower residents to manage stress, enhance self-awareness, and improve their overall well-being.

Supportive Residential Environment:

At The Recovery Academy, we understand that recovery extends beyond therapy. We offer workshops on life skills, including financial management, vocational skills, healthy living, and cooking for independent living. We encourage residents to join community-based programs. This helps build social support networks and creates a sense of belonging.

Family Involvement and Aftercare Planning

We recognize that family support plays a crucial role in recovery. Our program includes family therapy sessions and educational workshops to strengthen relationships and improve communication. When ready, residents work with staff to develop a personalized aftercare plan. This plan includes outpatient resources, case management, mental health services, and support from alumni.
