Midwest Recovery

Midwest Recovery was built with rural Minnesota communities in mind. Based in Faribault in Rice County, the clinic offers accessible substance abuse treatment and outpatient rehab services to men and women who want to pursue recovery close to home — without uprooting their lives for a distant residential program. The focus is on sustainable, community-based recovery that fits into real life.

For those who cannot easily travel to a metro treatment center, Midwest Recovery's Midwest Telehealth platform extends the same clinical services — including outpatient and IOP programming — to individuals across the region. Recovery doesn't have to start with a long drive or a move. It can start from where you already are.

Midwest Recovery offers two levels of outpatient substance abuse treatment: a standard Outpatient Program and an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP). The IOP provides a more structured schedule for people who are in early recovery or transitioning from a higher level of care, while the standard outpatient track supports those further along who need ongoing clinical support without intensive scheduling demands.

Both levels of care address substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions. Treating dual diagnosis within the outpatient setting means clients don't have to choose between mental health support and addiction recovery — both are part of the same treatment plan. This integrated approach is central to how Midwest Recovery supports long-term recovery rather than short-term stabilization alone.

The therapeutic core at Midwest Recovery centers on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and individual sessions. CBT is widely used in addiction treatment and recovery because it gives people concrete skills for recognizing and shifting the thought patterns that drive substance use. In one-on-one sessions, clinicians can tailor that work directly to each person's history, co-occurring conditions, and recovery goals.

This focused clinical model — structured therapy paired with personalized individual attention — is well-suited to outpatient rehab, where clients are actively practicing recovery skills in their daily lives between sessions. The goal is not just to stop using substances but to build a framework for staying well over time.

Midwest Recovery accepts private insurance, state insurance, and self-pay or cash arrangements, giving people across rural Minnesota multiple pathways to access treatment. For those using state insurance programs, the clinic's acceptance of that coverage is a meaningful factor in making addiction treatment reachable for lower-income individuals and families in the region.

The clinic's weekday hours — Monday through Thursday, 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM — and its telehealth option work together to reduce the logistical barriers that often delay people from entering or continuing outpatient treatment.
