EOSIS New Beginnings is a 56-bed men’s residential program in Waverly, Minnesota, located in the former lake home of Hubert Humphrey. We are a licensed co-occurring treatment facility which means we can treat your addiction and other mental health disorders at the same time.
Your treatment team consists of licensed professionals who will work collaboratively to create an individualized treatment plan that will give you the best chance at lifelong recovery. They will use evidence-based therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing and Seeking Safety.
Your team will meet routinely throughout your stay to adjust your treatment plan so that you continue to make progress managing your recovery. Here, our gender-informed care fosters new ways of thinking and living so that you can thrive in recovery.
In addition to your core treatment services, you’ll participate in therapeutic recreation and relaxation which could include things like fishing, basketball, volleyball, kickball, bonfires​ or time in the gym. You can also participate in Alcoholics Anonymous or Narcotics Anonymous meetings.
To help support your long-term recovery, EOSIS New Beginnings has a robust alumni program. The fellowship you gained while in treatment will continue by participating in the fun alumni activities planned throughout the year
