About Centre Inc
Centre Inc operates a residential treatment facility and sober living program in Mandan, North Dakota, specializing in justice-involved individuals since 1976. The recovery center provides residential reentry services with CBT therapy and peer support specialists for men and women transitioning back to the community.
Centre Inc has served as a cornerstone addiction treatment facility in Mandan, North Dakota since 1976, operating a residential reentry center that bridges the gap between incarceration and community reintegration. Located at 100 6th Avenue SE, this recovery center operates 24/7 as part of a five-facility network serving clients statewide, with American Correctional Association accreditation and PREA compliance ensuring professional standards.
The residential treatment program combines traditional substance abuse treatment with specialized reentry services, while their sober living component provides structured housing for individuals transitioning to independent living. Centre Inc incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as a core therapeutic method, helping residents develop practical coping skills and address the underlying thought patterns that contribute to addictive behaviors. The recovery community is strengthened through peer support specialists, many of whom are program alumni who obtained certification while in treatment.
Centre Inc's approach recognizes that recovery extends far beyond initial treatment, offering comprehensive aftercare support through community service programming, care coordination, and ongoing peer support connections. Executive Director Josh Helmer leads a dedicated team including Clinical Supervisor Stacey Nelson, ensuring both clinical excellence and operational consistency across their residential and sober living programs.
This recovery center primarily serves justice-involved men and women, though they welcome all individuals seeking residential treatment for substance use disorders. Centre Inc's unique position within North Dakota's criminal justice system, combined with their four-decade commitment to the recovery community, makes them an established choice for those requiring both addiction treatment and reentry support. Services are available in English and ASL, with most referrals coming through the criminal justice system though self-pay options exist.
Residential Treatment and Sober Living Programs
Centre Inc's residential treatment program serves as both an addiction treatment facility and reentry center, providing comprehensive substance abuse treatment for individuals transitioning from incarceration to community living. The recovery center operates around the clock, ensuring continuous support during this critical transition period. Their residential program addresses substance use disorders through structured programming while simultaneously preparing residents for successful community reintegration.
The sober living component extends the recovery journey beyond initial treatment, offering residents a stable, supervised environment as they rebuild their lives. This dual approach recognizes that lasting recovery requires both immediate addiction treatment and longer-term community support, making Centre Inc a comprehensive recovery community rather than just a treatment facility.
Therapeutic Approach and Recovery Support
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) forms the clinical foundation of Centre Inc's addiction treatment approach, helping residents identify and modify the thinking patterns that contribute to substance abuse. Clinical Supervisor Stacey Nelson oversees the therapeutic programming, ensuring that clinical practices are consistently applied throughout the residential treatment experience. CBT sessions focus on developing practical skills that residents can apply both during treatment and after transitioning to independent living.
The recovery center's peer support specialists represent one of Centre Inc's most distinctive features - many are program alumni who obtained their certification while in treatment. This peer-to-peer model creates a genuine recovery community where current residents can see tangible examples of successful long-term recovery and career development within the addiction treatment field.
Aftercare and Community Integration
Centre Inc's aftercare support extends well beyond residential treatment completion, recognizing that sustainable recovery requires ongoing community connections. Their aftercare programming includes community service opportunities, misdemeanor probation support, and comprehensive care coordination to ensure residents maintain their recovery momentum after leaving the facility. This continued support helps bridge the gap between residential treatment and independent community living.
The recovery center's unique position within North Dakota's justice system allows them to provide specialized programming for court-ordered individuals while maintaining the therapeutic environment necessary for effective addiction treatment. Care coordination services help connect residents with ongoing outpatient resources, employment opportunities, and housing options throughout North Dakota's recovery community network.
