Our Story

Common Ground is a Chemical Dependency Treatment Facility that offers outpatient and residential services that are based on the belief that each individual has unique goals, needs and reasons for seeking our services. "Meeting you where you are" is not just a tag line. Common Ground will assist you in reaching your goals, and every person is treated with respect and dignity. There are a variety of options available at Common Ground. Not everyone experiencing the consequences of alcohol or other drug use are dependent or abusing substances. Common Ground provides a professional referral to the least restrictive level of care indicated following a confidential assessment. Psychological and emotional issues often contribute to the use and abuse of alcohol and other drugs. Common Ground provides assistance to those with dual disorders relating to mental health and substance use. Programs/Services: • Assessments: A confidential assessment is the first step in determining if further services are needed. The assessment begins with a short screening conducted by our staff, over the phone, to determine if our services can meet your specific needs. If not, you will be referred to a provider within the community that specializes in your particular situation. We will set up a time for you to meet with a counselor at Common Ground who will ask you a series of questions to determine where you fall in the spectrum of substance use. In most cases, a recommendation will be made to you immediately after the assessment interview is concluded. Common Ground is also approved to provide Consolidated Fund (Rule 25) assessments by Olmsted County. If you believe you may be eligible for Rule 25 funding please call us and we will help you start the process of contacting your county of residence. • Individualized Treatment Plan: If you elect to begain a program with Common Ground, the first step is to create your “road map” and place you in a program that meets your needs. All treatment plans are based on your goals for treatment and reviewed by you with your counselor • Women’s program: Our Women’s Program is a women’s group that meets at common ground two evenings or afternoons a week for 10 weeks. Women who need a higher level of care may also participate in the Intensive Outpatient Program. • Men’s Program: The primary Men’s Program meets twice a week for 10 weeks. Those who need a higher level of care may also participate in the Intensive Outpatient Program. • Intensive Outpatient Program is intended for individuals who are assessed for a higher level of care, but do not meet criteria for residential treatment. The IOP Program meets four times per week and are later reduced to meeting once a week. It is designed to address recovery and potential relapse issues. Clients in the IOP program also have the option to reside for no charge in one of Common Ground’s sober houses during the length of the program. • Relapse: The Relapse Program is specifically designed to address the current and previous relapse issues. This program is offered within the Women’s and Men’s programs. • DUI/DWI Class: Common Ground’s DUI-DWI Class provides education for those who have been charged with a DUI or DWI but have not experienced other issues as the result of their use of alcohol or other drugs. • Hope(For the Concerned Person) A concerned person is anyone who is worried about or affected by another person’s use of alcohol or other drugs ,whether they be a spouse, significant other, parent, child, employee or close friend. Common Ground’s Hope program offers sessions designed to offer education and options to help yourself and the individual you are concerned about.
