Located in Fargo, Prairie Saint John’s offers compassionate care for children, teens, and adults facing mental illness, addiction, or both. Clients receive support through inpatient hospitalization, residential care, day treatment (PHP), and intensive
outpatient programs (
IOP). Psychiatric and addiction specialists help individuals manage symptoms like anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and psychosis—offering hope, healing, and structure for those navigating a mental health or substance use crisis.
Treatment begins with a full assessment and continues with group, family, and individual therapy. Clients engage in
cognitive behavioral therapy (
CBT), medication management, and skill-building groups to promote emotional regulation and relapse prevention. Specialized programs support youth development and adult recovery through psychoeducation, anger management, and substance use education. Family involvement and discharge planning ensure each person builds confidence and practical tools for lasting recovery.
Clients in day treatment can stay in furnished, shared apartments near the treatment campus, complete with kitchen and laundry access. Staff are present outside program hours to support a safe, structured experience. Visitors are welcome with approval, and travel support is available for out-of-town families. Each setting—whether hospital-based or residential—is designed to provide a calm, respectful space where individuals can heal and transition to the next step in care.
