A Clinically Managed Residential Setting for Complex Needs

Nystrom and Associates Ltd – Residential Big Lake provides 24-hour residential treatment for adults with substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions. The program is built for people who need more structure than outpatient care can provide, especially those navigating psychological distress, unstable relationships, criminal justice involvement, or patterns that make early recovery harder to sustain.

High-Intensity Treatment With Clear Structure

The program offers two levels of residential care, including a clinically managed high-intensity option with 24-hour support and a high volume of weekly clinical services. Care typically includes comprehensive assessment, treatment planning, individual counseling, group counseling, educational lectures, and coordinated discharge planning, helping clients stabilize, build day-to-day recovery skills, and prepare for the next step in care.

Evidence-Based Therapy and Medication Support Options

Clinical services draw from approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, relapse prevention, trauma-related counseling, anger management, and 12-step facilitation. The facility also lists medication support for addiction and mental health needs, including Medications for addiction treatment (MAT) options such as buprenorphine and naltrexone, along with medications used for alcohol use disorder.

Comfort, Routine, and Space to Reset

The environment is designed to support stability and focus. Clients have access to indoor common areas like a relaxation lounge and shared dining/social space, along with features such as air-conditioned rooms, a TV, coffee and tea setup, and a kitchenette. Outside, clients can spend time in gardens, outdoor space, and walking paths, with additional recreation like a basketball court. The facility also uses drug screening as part of maintaining a substance-free setting.

Built-In Next Steps After Residential Treatment

Planning for life after residential care starts early. Discharge planning and continuing-care coordination help clients transition into less intensive treatment and recovery support. The broader network also includes many outpatient clinic locations across the region, which make it easier to stay connected to care after leaving the residential setting.
