Minnesota alcohol treatment centers are some of the best in the United States.  Alcohol  treatment in Minnesota began over 60 years ago.  People have been coming to the state seeking treatment for alcoholism and drug addiction ever since.  Over the years, Minnesota alcohol treatment centers became known for their effectiveness and the Minnesota Model of chemical dependency treatment developed into the predominant modality for treating alcoholism and drug addiction in the United States. 

The abstinence based Minnesota Model incorporates the philosophy, program and practice of Alcoholics Anonymous.  Early members of Alcoholics Anonymous understood that alcoholism was a mental, physical and spiritual illness.  The Founders of AA developed the Twelve Steps to give people a spiritual solution to alcoholism and drug addiction.  Since the 1940's, AA's philosophy of total abstinence and active involvement with a fellowship of recovering people has helped millions to recover from a "seemingly hopeless state of mind and body".   

At The Retreat, we believe that addicts and alcoholics have the fundamental ability to change their attitudes, behaviors and beliefs with the support of a caring community.  The Retreat's approach is very similar to the Minnesota alcohol treatment centers of the 1950's.  Our simple, back to basics philosophy is not only affordable for the average family, but just as effective as more expensive Minnesota alcohol treatment programs. 

If you are looking for a Minnesota alcohol treatment center or alcohol rehab, The Retreat may be able to help.  We strive to improve the quality of life for individuals, families and communities affected by alcohol and drug dependency.  Although we are not a clinical Minnesota alcohol treatment center, we provide a viable alternative to alcohol treatment in Minnesota at a fraction of the cost.  Call the admissions office at 952-476-0566 or 866-928-3434.

The Retreat is not a replacement for medical treatment.  We do not serve people who need a clinical treatment experience.
