Anthony Louis Center Blaine

Anthony Louis Center has been providing drug and alcohol counseling and treatment programs to adolescents in the Blaine and Minneapolis, Minnesota area since 1976. The center is one of the few substance use treatment facilities in Anoka County with a program designed specifically around the developmental, emotional, and social needs of teenagers — rather than adapting an adult model for a younger audience.

Families looking for a recovery center that understands the unique challenges facing young people in early recovery will find that Anthony Louis Center's specialization runs deep. The center also operates On-belay House, a program extension that further supports adolescent substance use disorder treatment. For parents trying to navigate addiction treatment options for a teenager, that kind of focused experience matters.

Anthony Louis Center offers three levels of substance abuse treatment: residential treatment, an outpatient program, and an intensive outpatient program (IOP). This continuum of care is designed so that adolescents can move through progressively less restrictive levels of support as they build stability in recovery — without having to start over at a new facility each time they transition.

Residential treatment provides a structured, immersive setting for teens who need consistent support away from the environments connected to their substance use. The intensive outpatient program offers a middle path — more clinical contact than a standard outpatient schedule, but with the flexibility to maintain school attendance and family connection. The standard outpatient program then supports ongoing recovery as teens return to daily life, reinforcing the skills and coping strategies developed in earlier phases of treatment.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is the core clinical method used at Anthony Louis Center. CBT gives adolescents concrete strategies for identifying triggers, challenging distorted thinking, and building healthier behavioral responses — skills that transfer directly into everyday situations they will face in ongoing recovery.

The center also specifically treats Trauma and PTSD as co-occurring conditions alongside substance use disorder. For many adolescents, unresolved trauma is not a separate issue from their addiction — it is intertwined with it. By addressing both within the same treatment setting, Anthony Louis Center helps young clients build a more durable foundation for long-term recovery rather than treating only the surface-level symptoms.

Anthony Louis Center accepts a wide range of payment methods, including Medicaid, Medicare, TRICARE, private insurance, state insurance, and self-pay or cash. This breadth of accepted coverage is meaningful for families who might otherwise assume that quality adolescent addiction treatment is financially out of reach.

To learn more about which coverage options apply to a specific situation, families can contact the center directly at (763) 757-2906. Office hours are Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. The center is located at 1000 Paul Parkway, Minneapolis, MN 55434, and serves adolescents throughout the Anoka County area and beyond.
