Beauterre Recovery Institute

My son was admitted to Beauterre following an overdose in January of 2016. The culinary menu was amazing, however the addiction and mental health Care was lacking. He relapsed shortly after being released, and sadly we sent him back. During his second stay, he was medicated to keep him quiet. He never received the mental health Care he required. Shortly after being released he died of an opioid overdose. We as his family that fought for him are devistated by the loss. I would advise you to reasurch other options before sending your Loved ones to this facility.

While I don’t normally like to put my business out on the internet for all to see, I’ve been seeing some negative reviews of a place that changed me forever. I attended Beauterre in May of 2015 and have sober ever since. That’s not to say I am cured or even close to it. I work hard everyday to maintain a status quo that involves sobriety. Beauterre showed me how to enjoy sobriety. It gave me tools to use in situations that I used to turn to alcohol. I learned to be ok with myself, knowing that is not perfect. I learned to connect with people on a level more than “what can I get from you.” I was shown a better way to live. I am in constant contact for the last 2.5 years with alumni and people I met because of Beauterre. Treatment facilities, in my opinion, are not there to guarantee sobriety. Treatment facilities get you started down the road of happiness. I chose Beauterre because I needed to go somewhere and hey had a bed. I have been through 6 treatments and tried to do it on my own. It wasn’t until Beauterre that I was able to accept myself and my disease. The staff had an energy that let me know it was going to be ok. They were trying different techniques and therapies. They were willing to take true risk on me if I was willing to give them a chance. The accommodations were fantastic and I truly live a better way now. Beauterre didn’t save my life. It changed my life. To all those still suffering, the opposite of addiction is connection. Beauterre is my connection.

Beauterre promotes themselves as providing chemical dependency and mental health services to treat the whole person. They publish information about comorbidity, and promise a neuropsychological assessment for all patients, promoting a "one stop shop", but their promises and what they deliver are diametrically opposed. My daughter went to their program for help in both areas, but they never addressed the mental health issues in any way other than to medicate her haphazardly. When behaviors started to occur because her borderline personality disorder wasn't being treated, they shipped her 6 hours away to another of their facilities, even though Mayo Clinic was only 45 minutes away. Then when she told them she no longer had suicidal ideation (the next day), I got the call to pick her up. They transported her there, didn't even tell me she was gone until 90 minutes after they left with her, and we never got a choice. Suddenly she had "successfully completed" the chemical dependency program she wasn't near completion with, and the plan for a sober house was conveniently forgotten as well. They sell you the world to get your loved one admitted, and don't deliver. It's a great estate with lots of upscale features so your loved one feels life they're on a spa-cation, but it's a waste of time and money. Be wary and look at Hazelton instead, it could save your loved ones life!

This was a miracle . Never heard of this facility and a Placement Company recommended Beauterre. So glad we chose this place for my daughter who had recently Overdosed on Opiates. The facility is amazing for the clients and family. I would highly suggest attending the Family Informational meeting, I have lived my life surrounded by addicts and 3 out of my 4 children have had addiction problems resulting in Inpatient Treatment. I have never encountered a place that focus's on the Science of Addiction and giving you the tools to make the right choices. NO FACILITY can make you STOP using!! You are given tools , understanding and coping mechanisms , what you do with that is your choice!!! Beauterre is by far the best facility that we have encountered and we have been to the best of Minnesota .. Thank you Beauterre for giving my family and daughter the tools that we need to ALL be successful.

The most amazing place in the world. I was one of the first clients there. While a new company, the staff became my family. The alumni is amazing too. We are in contact with each other through social media and meetings. I learned so much about myself while there. I have been to many other places for my alcohol addiction but this is the only place where I felt absolutely at peace. It was because of the wonderful staff and my peers. I will be forever grateful for my experience at Beauterre. I highly recommend it for anyone who is struggling and willing to change!
