Center for Alcohol and Drug Treatment

About Center for Alcohol and Drug Treatment

The Center for Alcohol and Drug Treatment is a nonprofit provider in Duluth, Minnesota, serving adults and adolescents dealing with substance use disorders, co-occurring mental health concerns, and problem gambling. Their care starts with a 40-bed detox and withdrawal management unit staffed around the clock by medical and clinical teams, with same-day walk-in admission available. From there, clients can move into men’s and women’s residential treatment, medication for opioid and alcohol use disorders, intensive outpatient care, or relapse prevention. Their approach pairs medication and counseling with practical support, including help applying for insurance, finding housing and work, and connecting with a peer recovery specialist.

Their Addiction Medicine Clinic includes Clearpath Clinic, an opioid treatment program offering methadone or Suboxone alongside behavioral therapy, and an office-based program that provides Suboxone, Sublocade injections, Vivitrol, and oral naltrexone, plus walk-in inductions and bridge prescriptions for people who don’t need detox. Pregnant patients get priority access across all programs, and the team specializes in treating opioid, alcohol, and other substance use during pregnancy. Adult intensive outpatient groups meet four hours a day, three days a week, in morning or evening sessions, with in-person or virtual options, weekly individual counseling, and dual diagnosis support, while a three-hour weekly relapse prevention group serves as a step-down after more intensive care. Teens 12 and older can join after-school groups twice a week, receive mental health counseling that includes family sessions, and meet with a counselor at several Duluth schools, and gambling treatment is free for Minnesota residents.
