Hopkins, MN – Northwoods Haven, a leading outpatient addiction and mental health treatment center, proudly announces the official launch of its Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) this June in Hopkins, Minnesota. This expansion brings a much-needed, flexible, and holistic care option to individuals and families navigating the challenges of substance use and co-occurring mental health disorders across the Twin Cities metro area.
The launch comes at a critical time for Minnesota’s behavioral health landscape. Following the closure of several outpatient programs earlier this year—including NUWAY’s non-residential sites in greater Minnesota—many communities have faced treatment disruptions and reduced access to care . Northwoods Haven’s IOP aims to fill this gap by offering a trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and evidence-based recovery path that allows clients to maintain their daily responsibilities while receiving comprehensive support.
A Flexible, Whole-Person Approach to Recovery
Located at 5900 Green Oak Drive, Suite 306, in Hopkins, Northwoods Haven’s IOP is designed for adults ages 18 and older who need structured care without the constraints of residential treatment. The program offers both morning and evening sessions to accommodate work, school, and family commitments. Clients receive a personalized treatment plan that may include:
-
Individual and group counseling
-
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
-
Mindfulness-Based Relapse Prevention (MBRP)
-
Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) for withdrawal management
-
Family therapy and aftercare planning
-
Holistic therapies such as yoga, massage, aromatherapy, and guided meditation
“We believe recovery is not just about abstaining from substances—it’s about healing the whole person,” said Andrea Khalid LADC-S, Clinical Director at Northwoods Haven. “Our IOP integrates clinical excellence with holistic wellness practices to support long-term sobriety and emotional resilience.”
Serving a Diverse and Underserved Population
Northwoods Haven’s IOP is open to individuals from all walks of life, including veterans, college students, LGBTQ+ individuals, seniors, and parents. The program specializes in treating a wide range of substance use disorders—including alcohol, opioids, methamphetamine, and prescription drugs—as well as co-occurring mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, and OCD.
The center’s culturally sensitive and trauma-informed approach is especially timely amid the state’s ongoing efforts to stabilize behavioral health services. Earlier this year, the Minnesota Department of Human Services (DHS) confirmed that NUWAY, a major outpatient provider, laid off 174 staff and closed several sites due to a payment withhold related to a fraud investigation . This left many clients in need of alternative care options.
“Our team is committed to being part of the solution,” said Andrea Khalid LADC-S, Clinical Director at Northwoods Haven. “We’re here to provide continuity of care, especially for those who may have experienced disruptions in their treatment journey.”
A Community-Centered Vision for Healing
Northwoods Haven’s IOP is more than a treatment program—it’s a community. The center fosters a supportive environment where clients can connect with peers, build coping skills, and develop a sustainable recovery plan. The program emphasizes relapse prevention through skill-building strategies, support groups, and individualized aftercare planning.
“Recovery doesn’t happen in isolation,” said Chris Henning, Director of Business at Northwoods Haven. “Our clients find strength in shared experiences and mutual support, which are integral to lasting change.”
Insurance and Accessibility
Northwoods Haven accepts most major private health insurance plans and offers sliding scale payment options to ensure accessibility for all clients. The center is currently accepting new patients.
