Vinland’s Outpatient Services location in Minneapolis offers Comprehensive Substance Use Disorder and Problem Gambling Assessments that support placement, whether at Vinland or elsewhere.

For our Residential Treatment Program, it depends on a few things. We need the admissions forms to be completely filled out and submitted before we can schedule an intake date. If you need assistance, please call (763) 479-3555.

For Outpatient treatment, we do not require these forms.  Instead, just call us at 763.479.3555 & ask for Outpatient Services to schedule an intake/assessment.  Generally, we can admit someone to our Outpatient Program within 24 hours.

Yes. Our Substance Use Disorder programs were originally designed for individuals with brain injuries, but our approach has proven beneficial for people with a variety of cognitive impairments. This includes learning disabilities, FASD, mental illness, and more.  We often have clients come to us without any neurodivergent issues due to the love of our more rural location and our therapeutic exercise program. Please contact Admissions for more information.

Please note: Our Outpatient Gambling Program is designed for all adults, regardless of cognitive issues.
