Participants of the Intensive Addiction program reside in private rooms in the facility’s hospital-like setting.</p> <p>Residents have access to wi-fi and may use personal cell phones and computers during free time.

The clinic boasts a staff-to-client ratio of 1:5.</p> <p><strong>WHAT ALUMNI SAY</strong></p> <p>The nine alumni polled by Rehabs.com to date shared mixed feedback on their experiences at the Mayo Clinic. While some clients described the staff as professional, caring and competent, others were dissatisfied with the treatment they received. Still, alumni shared above-average ratings across several key areas:</p> <blockquote> <p>Staff Level of Training &amp; Experience: 4.3/5<br /> Cleanliness: 3.5/5<br /> Family Participation: 3.3/5<br /> Counseling Options: 3.5/5</p> </blockquote> <p>Most alumni described the counselors as excellent, while several found treatment expensive. “Great staff, great accommodations, lots of individual attention...the only problem is that it is cost prohibitive for many people,” one reviewer noted.</p> <p><strong>WHAT FRIENDS & FAMILY SAY</strong></p> <p>By and large, the six loved ones polled by Rehabs.com to date shared details of positive experiences. Five out of six indicated that they’d recommend Mayo Clinic to others.</p> <blockquote> <p>Staff Level of Training &amp; Experience: 4.5/5<br /> Cleanliness: 4.8/5<br /> Family Participation: 4.8/5<br /> Counseling Options: 3.3/5</p> </blockquote> <p>In their written feedback, loved ones expressed gratitude for being able to participate in the process and that the facility was clean. Several, however, noted a lack of exercise options and need for more outside speakers. “Very good doctors, very busy schedule, very comfortable setting,” wrote one in a representative statement.</p> <p><strong>FINANCING</strong></p> <p>The Mayo Clinic accepts major private health insurance plans and is <a href="https://wwwdasis.samhsa.gov/webt/state_data/MN17.pdf" target="_blank">one of just 109 (30.6 percent) centers in the state of Minnesota to accept Medicare, one of 187 (52.5 percent) to accept Medicaid</a>.</p> <p>Prospective clients are encouraged to contact the center with additional questions regarding the cost of treatment.</p>
