Anthony Louis Center - Blaine

Practical Skills for Life Beyond Treatment

The facility pairs clinical care with practical skill-building services, including job training and educational support like GED preparation. This approach helps teens strengthen their confidence and independence while addressing substance use, equipping them with tools for long-term stability in school and work environments after treatment.

Family Involvement for Stronger Foundations

Family counseling is a central part of the program, helping parents and guardians understand how to support a teen’s recovery while improving family communication. By including family in the process, the center helps lay the groundwork for lasting changes that extend beyond treatment.

Integrated Health Services

The center offers walk-in drug screenings, on-site health education, and smoking cessation counseling, helping teens and families address immediate health needs while focusing on recovery. Its structured, no-frills setting supports clear routines and a safe environment for treatment.

What Patients and Families Say

Reviews are mixed but illuminating. Many former clients and parents highlight the lasting impact of treatment here, with several reporting long-term sobriety years after discharge. However, some reviews cite concerns about facility conditions and staff conduct, including isolated reports of punitive or insensitive behavior. These accounts reflect varied experiences and may be useful to consider when deciding if this environment aligns with a teen’s needs and temperament.
