Andy's House

Just a 5 minute walk from the St Lawrence River, Andy’s House was founded and is still operated by people in long-term recovery and professionals who dedicate their lives to the well-being of others. They offer residential, IOP, and aftercare. Andy’s House applies the Minnesota 12-Step model into their clients’ programs. Some of the therapies they offer include psychoeducational groups, cognitive behavioral groups, and problem solving groups. Andy’s House is also able to offer interpersonal processes approach coaching that aims to help clients better understand their social roles and relationship dynamics in an effort to promote change and healing. Andy’s House offers a 2-year aftercare program where clients stay connected with their support network and discuss their week in recovery. Family support is an open-ended service provided regardless of whether a client is still a part of the program or is graduated, and this entails weekly family support groups. Andy’s House has no more than 15 clients at any given time so that they can provide the individualized attention needed for success.

The Andy’s House facility is an old Victorian mansion that has deliberately been set up to make everyone feel welcomed and at home. There is outdoor space and a pool in the backyard. To create a well-rounded schedule for their clients, Andy’s House has a variety of holistic and alternative therapies like art therapy, cinema therapy, physical fitness, daily journaling, yoga, and recreational therapy. A typical day at Andy's House consists of a structured program of highly effective therapies, which include group therapy, one-on-one counseling, recreational therapy, yoga, art therapy and group outings.
