I don't have a brain injury. Can I still come to Vinland Center?
-
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.

Do I need a doctor referral?

No, you do not need a doctor referral.

-
I am a loved one of someone attending treatment with you. Am I able to visit them?
-
Yes, but only during oour scheduled days/visiting hours, which are :
Saturday – 12:30pm to 4:30pm
Sunday – 12:30pm to 4:30pm
POLICY: Visitors to the program will be asked to only park in the lower parking lot. On the mornings of visitation, the upper parking lot will be roped off to insure parking in the lower lot. The purpose of this routing is to create one point of entry into the building. Clients and their visitors will be allowed to meet in the main lobby, outdoors, within the confines of the property limits, and in the dining room. The purpose of restricting the area of visitation is to allow clients that do not have visitors some privacy.
THE UPPER LEVEL “NEW SIDE” MENS UNIT, THE LOWER LEVEL “NEW SIDE” MENS UNIT THE STORDAHL, THE “OLD SIDE” MENS UNIT ARE ALL OFF LIMITS TO VISITORS.
VISITORS ARE NOT ALLOWED IN CLIENTS ROOMS.
Upon entering the main lobby, visitors will be asked to sign in with your name, the client’s name you are visiting, and your arrival time. When the visitation is completed you will be asked to sign out at the time of departure.
Residents are allowed to have visits at all reasonable times from their personal physician, or advanced practice registered nurse, religious advisor, county case managers, parole and/or probation officers, and attorney. The participant’s case manager and/or the treatment director, approves these visits.
LIMITATIONS: Visitors are NOT allowed to bring pets, guns, weapons, alcohol and/or drugs. Individuals who appear to have been using alcohol and/or drugs will be asked to leave the premises including the grounds. Individuals who bring guns and/or weapons to Vinland will also be asked to leave the premises including the grounds.
We ask the concerned persons that visit clients in the program to abide by these ideas.
1). Please do not socialize in your vehicles.
2). Please bring any items that you would like to bring to the main entry for staff to go through and we will bring the items to the client
