Affiliated Counseling Center
By nwahs April 22, 2014
I seen Leslie Wight at this clinic for two sessions and she called me at home one night to tell me she could no longer provide therapy services to me and when I asked why she said I would get better treatment from a male therapist in her same office, I disagreed and ask if I could set up an appointment with her and she said no. I filed a complaint against her through the Minnesota marrage and family therapist licesing board. The board ruled that my complaint didn't have enough evidence. I called the Affiliated counseling today to setup an appointment with another therapist and was told I couldn't because I filed a complaint against Leslie. Very disappointed with their professionallism. ...read more

Stay away from this group. They use condemnation as a means of treatment. If you do not submit and obey staffs counsel in treatment you will be called "demonic" and unfit to be near other socially and the staff will prevent you from social interactions with others even to the lengths of destroying your marriage. ...read more
Nu-Way House Inc
By steven71 at Citysearch March 12, 2012
Nuway House is a halfway house for recovering addicts and alcoholics. I was unfortunate enough to have spent time there a couple of years ago during the summer months, it was an experience I will never forget. I will say this, the one thing that I did get from Nuway is gratitude, I am grateful for what I have now because my stay there was the worst month of my life.\t\n\t\nFirst of all, let me point out that the staff at Nuway is decent, they seem to have a genuine concern for the well being of the people in their charge. However, the accomodations are nothing short of appauling, and I've lived in some rough places, including being homeless for a period of time. It is brutally hot there during the summer, no air conditioning, 30+ men packed into a house that would normally hold 10 people at most and large appliances running, temperatures average around 85 degrees, even warmer on hot days. Nuway had a severe bedbug problem while I was there, I was bitten all over my body and had to change rooms 3 times. The place literally looks like nothing has been updated in 35 years. The carpet is rotten, there is black mold in the bathrooms and the beds are in terrible shape. I had to wait a week before I received a pillow. My bed was in such poor shape I had to sleep on the floor. It would only take a few thousand bucks to turn Nuway into a tolerable place. There is no excuse for a facility to be in such condition, people recovering from drug and alcohol use are often sick and still withdrawing, this is not the place to do it. \t\n\t\nI will mention a couple of positive things about Nuway, the food is decent, at least it was when I was there. The staff, counseling sessions and people I met there were good people. Unfortunately, the place is such poor condition that everyone is miserable. If you go there during the winter I imagine it would be more tolerable as the heat was one of the biggest problems, even on mild days.\t\n\t\nThe bottom line is, obviously Nuway is better than being homeless, if you don't have another option than go. Keep in mind that once you are there you will need to use public transportation. Most places will have vans or drivers that can take you to the hospital, or doctors appointments if you are ill. No chance of that happening at Nuway. Always check with your case worker or counselors though, because there are usually other options available. This is simply my opinion of Nuway, I believe the owner is charging the county (or insurance companies) way too much and putting none of that money into the place to make it a better environment. ...read more

Addiction Treatment Options
These days you hear people say that they are addicted to things like chocolate, shopping and even their smartphones. Most people wouldn’t jump to candy and technology when it comes to addiction, rather its drugs and alcohol that come to mind. Addiction is an interesting term to think about because there are so many things that it can define. Doug Sellman, who works at the National Addiction Center, defines addiction as compulsive behavior stemming from the subconscious mind. Addiction is often associated with those who suffer from psychological aliments like obsessive compulsive disorder. People with OCD are addicted to certain behaviors like hand washing, counting things and a whole number of quirky actions. In order to delineate between addictions such as drugs and alcohol from those who suffer from OCD, another definition was created.Drug addiction is the repeated consumption of a drug and the overpowering desire or need to continue the behavior. Substitute the word drug for alcohol and it still works perfectly. In order to treat addiction, it’s helpful to know as much about drugs and alcohol as possible. That’s why scientists created a chart of addiction potential for all the major drugs. Heroin took the top spot, but it was followed closely by cocaine and then alcohol in the number three spot. The list was controversial however, as it did not include caffeine, which is widely considered to be a stimulant with addictive properties. The list includes both uppers and downers, as both categories produce addictive substances.In order to combat drug addiction, numerous treatment center programs have been created. Alcoholics Anonymous, also called AA, is one of the longest running and most effective treatment programs ever designed. AA follows a very strict 12-step process, that when followed exactly, will help a person overcome their addiction to alcohol. The steps in Alcoholics Anonymous are very much centered on religion as guide for people to reach sobriety. Many who complete AA consider it to be a spiritual awakening. That’s partly because the twelve steps are aimed at the four major areas of health; physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. AA is also characterized by its use of sponsors, who are fellow AA members assigned to be a support system for each other. Some of the twelve steps even require participation by an addict’s sponsor.If you or someone you know as tried to kick a substance abuse habit in the past but was unsuccessful, contact the addiction treatment specialists at the Christian Alcoholism Helpline in Blaine, MN as soon as you can. The trained staff is professional, knowledgeable and willing to help anyone who is serious about making a positive change in their lifestyle. ...read more
