Our Story
The story of overcoming addictions
Since 95% of substance users never get treatment, removing all barriers is essential. First is distance, then evening or weekend visits to avoid interference with job school or responsibilities. Inpatient treatment is disruptive and rarely necessary. Delay or hassles are deadly, so we assess and begin detox or treatment the same day Convenience is important.Stigma and shame prevent many. Cost is a factor so we limit it to $63 per week(17% of a typical users cost for drugs).Lack of guidance is corrected by 24/7 physician phone support. Therapy anywhere by Telletreatment solves most of these problems. He enjoys the challenge of researching cutting edge evidence-based studies,technology and improvements in practices and patient satisfaction. Finding effective treatments that meet all these standards is very rare. Nearly all our patients give us five star reviews.
Only in the last 20 Years has the true nature of addiction become understood. It’s genetic biochemical structura chronic brain damage explains why the century-old AA or talk therapy rarely succeeds. Yet 2/3 of treatments ignore that evidence. Methadone, Naltrexone and Buprenorphine(Suboxone) have revolutionized substance use care.
Doctor Everett established Overcoming Addictions in a beautiful residential center at 8100 Wayzata Boulevard, Minneapolis in 2019. He used his 14 years experience founding and managing Addiction Care Practitioners treating 120 patients monthly, learning what works and what does not. The 13 year experience of our multi board-certified chief therapist is crucial in treating all chemical dependencies.
The most critical step is to provide what is best for the patient, not the medical system. Each therapy is unique to that person including care of anxiety depression ptsd and other mental health issues which is unaddressed in most programs. Medication leads to 7 times better results.
