The MDH Substance Abuse Program is now offered virtually! Clients can now participate in our Substance Abuse Program while residing at one of our many partner CRF’s in other regions.

​

The Virtual Program follows the exact same goals, philosophy and process as the in-person substance abuse program. The general treatment philosophy is based on the social learning model. This model views addiction as a learned behavior that can be "unlearned" by developing new patterns of thinking and coping skills. The treatment is tailored to reflect each client’s specific recovery goals.
