I.B.C.A. offers Adolescent and Adult Outpatient Chemical
Dependency treatment Rule 43 programs, licensed by
Minnesota's Department of Human Services. The goal of
I.B.C.A.'s Outpatient Treatment programs is to provide
knowledge and understanding of substance abuse and its
effects on biological, economic, interpersonal and
spiritual relationships of people of color.
The program empowers clients with the ability to
maintain chemical-free lifestyles, to restore
spirituality, to amend dysfunctional relationships and
to apply new life-coping skills.
Clients must have some form of chemical health
evaluation before being admitted to the treatment
programs. Referrals can be made through county human
services, the courts, child protection, EAP's, HMO's,
private insurance, families, schools and self-referral.
Transportation and child-care are provided for some
services.
