Focus XII

Located in St. Cloud, Focus XII Residential is an abstinence-based program that serves men 18 and older who are chemically dependent and have recently completed a licensed chemical dependency treatment program. Services are provided in an educational setting through group therapy and on a one-to-one basis. With 24-hour staff coverage, this program provides a positive, structured living environment which serves as a transition from the highly structured treatment facility to independent community living.

Our treatment model is based on:

~ Cognitive behavioral therapy

~ Rational emotive behavioral therapy

~ Personal resiliency therapy

~ 12-step model of Alcoholic Anonymous/Narcotics Anonymous (encouraged but not required)

We are licensed through both the Minnesota Department of Human Services and Department of Health and serve residents of Stearns, Benton, Wright and Sherburne counties, as well as other counties by contract.
