<p><strong>ABOUT RESTORATION COUNSELING AND COMMUNITY SERVICES, LLC (RCCS)- MINNEAPOLIS, MN</strong></p> <p>Restoration Counseling and Community Services, LLC (RCCS), located in Minneapolis, Minn., offers <strong>community-based programming for adults transitioning from the criminal justice system</strong> back into the community, making it one of the only <a href="https://wwwdasis.samhsa.gov/webt/state_data/MN17.pdf" target="_blank">84 (23.6 percent)</a> centers in the state with this provision. This is also amongst Missouri's <a href="https://wwwdasis.samhsa.gov/webt/state_data/MN17.pdf" target="_blank">215 (60.4 percent)</a> facilities where <strong>outpatient treatment is available for adult men and women struggling with substance abuse</strong>. RCCS actively brings substance abuse recovery programs into the county jails and prisons. The organization was founded in 2011 and remains committed and dedicated to their community with a vision to provide solutions to the justice system and create healthier individuals, families, and communities.</p> <p><strong>TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT</strong></p> <p>The facility’s treatment program follows a <strong>holistic and evidence-based approach</strong> to substance abuse treatment and all services offered at RCCS. Substance abuse treatment begins with a <strong>“Rule 25 Assessment”</strong> completed by a licensed drug and alcohol counselor. This assessment helps staff to determine the level of care needed and submit treatment recommendations to insurance companies or counties that approve the funding needed for treatment. The assessment gathers information regarding <strong>chemical use history, physical health, mental and emotional health, family history, treatment history, criminal history, living environment, social environment, and more</strong>.</p> <p>The facility utilizes their unique, <strong>“Day One Approach”</strong> which was created by the organization’s founder to address the specific needs of RCCS’s clients. The approach is evidence-based and <strong>follows the principles of the “What Works” philosophy</strong>. The principles are: <strong>Risk Principle</strong> to target higher risk clients, the <strong>Need Principle</strong> to target criminal risk and need factors, the <strong>Treatment Principle</strong> which uses a behavior focused approach, and the <strong>Fidelity Principle</strong> to implement the program as desired by each client.</p> <p>All outpatient programs offered by the facility implement the Rule 25 Assessment and Day One Approach. There are <strong>gender-specific and mixed gender intensive outpatient programs (IOP)</strong> available including an evening IOP. IOP addresses criminal thinking, chemical use, and transitional needs. Services may include: Moral Reconation Therapy (MRT), Thinking for a Change (T4C), cognitive skills, anger management, relapse prevention, financial education, job seeking assistance, and more. Clients also receive case management, mental health assessments, and mental health support as needed. <strong>Individual therapy</strong> is offered on-site.</p> <p><strong>STAFF CREDENTIALS</strong></p> <p>The treatment team includes several <strong>licensed drug and alcohol counselors</strong>, therapeutic counselors and mental health workers, <strong>chemical dependency technicians</strong>, lab technicians, and many other administrative, leadership, and support staff.</p> <p><strong>ACCOMMODATIONS & AMENITIES</strong></p> <p>RCCS does not offer residential treatment but does partner with several supportive housing options located near all RCCS treatment centers.</p> <p><strong>WHAT ALUMNI SAY</strong> </p> <p>As of this writing, Rehabs.com had yet to receive feedback from former clients of this facility. </p> <p><strong>On the center’s Facebook page, which it can manage, there was an overall rating of 4.9 out of five stars based on 49 total reviews</strong> to date.<small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-1"><sup>[1]</sup></a></small> One alum, D.C., who gave five stars, felt that program changed his life. He wrote, “Focused on my criminal thinking and improved my cognitive skills. This is a great first step towards the rest of your life.” D.S., another alum, agreed with that viewpoint. He also gave five stars and wrote, “It helped me get my life back on track and to find that inner self so I can reach my full potential.”</p> <p><strong>On the facility’s Google page, there was an overall rating of 3.9 out of five stars based on 14 total reviews</strong> at the time of this writing.<small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-2"><sup>[2]</sup></a></small> One client, C.B., who gave five stars, wrote, “Rccs is an very amazing place if u let the steps work luv the ppl there.” However, another alum, T.D. did not agree with that viewpoint. He gave one star and wrote, “They don't care about u.its a set up all about money.” Overall, the reviews appeared to be mixed regarding the facility.</p> <p><strong>WHAT FRIENDS & FAMILY SAY</strong></p> <p>At the time of this writing, the sole anonymous loved one surveyed by Rehabs.com <strong>did not have a positive impression of the facility</strong> and gave just two out of five stars for treatment effectiveness. The respondent strongly disagreed when asked if family and loved ones were able to participate in treatment through facility programming and if the facility was adequately equipped and staffed to treat co-occurring mental health problems in addition to substance use disorders. He also indicated that there were not many counseling options to choose from depending on the client’s preference and overall responded that he <strong>would not recommend this facility to another friend or loved one who was considering rehab.</strong></p> <p><strong>WHAT STAFF SAY</strong></p> <p>While Rehabs.com had yet to receive staff feedback from this facility to date, seven current and former employees on Indeed provided a 2.8-star average rating.<small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-3"><sup>[3]</sup></a></small></p> <p><strong>FINANCING</strong></p> <p>The cost of treatment at the facility is not published. RCCS accepts insurance and ensures funding is available through insurance or county programs for each client before treatment begins. It does not appear that clients are responsible for the cost of treatment.</p> <p><strong>CONCLUSION</strong></p> <p>RCCS has implemented several changes in the past months, such as the inclusion of a <a href="https://www.rccsprograms.com/in-the-news2.html" target="_blank">new co-occurring disorders program</a> and the introduction of a new CEO.</p> <p><small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-1"><sup>[1]</sup></a> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pg/RCCSdayone/reviews/?ref=page_internal" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/pg/RCCSdayone/reviews/?ref=page<em>internal</a></small> <small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-2"><sup>[2]</sup></a> <a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=Restoration%20Counseling%20and%20Community%20Services%2C%20LLC%20(RCCS)%20in%20Minneapolis%2C%20MN&oq=Restoration+Counseling+and+Community+Services%2C+LLC+%28RCCS%29+in+Minneapolis%2C+MN&gs_l=psy-ab.3...222762.222762.0.223300.1.1.0.0.0.0.113.113.0j1.1.0.dummy_maps_web_fallback...0...1.2.64.psy-ab..0.0.0....0.O6H0IS5mn3g&npsic=0&rflfq=1&rlha=0&rllag=44996426,-93194551,7647&tbm=lcl&rldimm=13547593612616652488&ved=0ahUKEwjq68361dDWAhVmrVQKHQm-BNcQvS4IOTAA&rldoc=1&tbs=lrf:!2m1!1e2!3sIAE,lf:1,lf_ui:2#lrd=0x52b3318b7b83c2fb:0xbc02b89cc95dd6c8,1,,&rlfi=hd:;si:13547593612616652488;mv:!1m3!1d30565.20436071284!2d-93.19455145!3d44.9964261!2m3!1f0!2f0!3f0!3m2!1i146!2i65!4f13.1;tbs:lrf:!2m1!1e2!3sIAE,lf:1,lf_ui:2" target="_blank">GoogleReviews</a></small> <small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-3"><sup>[3]</sup></a> <a href="https://www.glassdoor.com/Overview/Working-at-Restoration-Counseling-and-Community-Services-EI_IE1253231.11,56.htm" target="_blank"><a href="https://www.glassdoor.com/Overview/Working-at-Restoration-Counseling-and-Community-Services-EI" target="_blank">https://www.glassdoor.com/Overview/Working-at-Restoration-Counseling-and-Community-Services-EI</a></em>IE1253231.11,56.htm</a></small></p>
