Avivo

Avivo's outpatient clinic on Chicago Avenue South in Minneapolis provides two structured levels of addiction treatment: a standard Outpatient Program and an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP). The IOP is designed for individuals who benefit from more frequent clinical contact during early or ongoing recovery, without the need for residential treatment. Both tracks are oriented toward lasting sobriety and long-term recovery, not just short-term stabilization.

A standout feature of Avivo's outpatient programming is the Family IOP, tailored specifically for pregnant women, mothers with children, and fathers with children. This level of care reflects Avivo's recognition that recovery within a family system requires programming that accounts for parenting responsibilities and family dynamics — something not commonly available in standard outpatient settings across Minnesota.

Avivo addresses Trauma and PTSD alongside chemical dependency within its outpatient treatment framework. For many people in recovery, mental health conditions and substance use are deeply interconnected, and treating one without the other limits long-term outcomes. Avivo's dual diagnosis programming uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as its clinical foundation, a well-documented approach for both addiction treatment and trauma-related conditions.

The clinic's ability to treat co-occurring disorders in an outpatient setting means that individuals do not have to choose between mental health care and substance abuse treatment. Both can be addressed within the same program, reducing gaps in care that are common when services are siloed across different providers.

Avivo's outpatient programs are built to serve a wide range of individuals across the Minnesota recovery community. Veterans and active-duty military families are supported through TRICARE coverage, while pregnant women and parents have access to the Family IOP. Young adults ages 18 to 25, seniors, and individuals managing HIV/AIDS are among the specific populations Avivo is confirmed to serve — a breadth of inclusion that reflects the organization's community-oriented mission.

Court-ordered individuals are also accepted, and the clinic's payment options — Medicaid, Medicare, TRICARE, private insurance, state insurance, and self-pay — mean that financial barriers are reduced across a wide spectrum of circumstances. For families and individuals across Minnesota evaluating longer-term recovery options, Avivo's combination of clinical programming, population-specific tracks, and accessible payment structures makes it a practical and well-supported choice.

Avivo conducts chemical health assessments, formerly known as Rule 25 assessments in Minnesota, which serve as a starting point for understanding an individual's treatment needs. These assessments help connect people to the appropriate level of care — whether that's the standard Outpatient Program or the more intensive IOP structure — based on their specific clinical picture.

The clinic is open Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM to 4:30 PM. Intake and referral inquiries can be directed to [email protected] or by calling (612) 752-8000. Avivo is located at 1900 Chicago Avenue South, Minneapolis, MN 55404, and serves individuals throughout the state of Minnesota.
