Many individuals in need of substance abuse treatment also suffer from mental health issues. The Teresa McGovern Center is one of the only facilities in the Upper Midwest specializing in dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorders. After obtaining permission from the family or client, Teresa McGovern Center counselors will review the mental health background and discuss the clients needs with their mental health care provider. All of the Teresa McGovern Centers programs work with people who have co-occurring mental health issues in addition to the diagnosis of addiction. Since the Teresa McGovern Center is not a locked psychiatric facility, if the mental health condition of the client is too severe to be safely accommodated, Teresa McGovern staff will assist the client or their family in referring to another treatment provider.
