About First Step Recovery – Fargo

First Step Recovery operates from 2701 12th Avenue South in Fargo. The site sits in Cass County, which shapes which public funding routes apply. Nearby communities include Briarwood, Frontier and North River. North Dakota draws people across long distances for treatment, so travel time is worth weighing against waiting time.

Partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient and outpatient care are delivered here, alongside telehealth appointments. Which level fits depends on the assessment rather than on what is available, so the useful first question is what that assessment involves. Ask what the assessment involves before you commit.

SAMHSA ListedSAMHSAListedThe facility appears in the federal treatment locator maintained by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. It is a record that the facility exists and reports its services, not an assessment of quality.
State Addiction Agency LicensedState Addiction AgencyLicensedLicensed by the state agency responsible for substance use treatment. Required to operate, and involves inspection of premises, staffing and clinical practice.
State Licensed RehabState AuthorityLicensedHolds a current licence from the state authority that regulates treatment providers. Licensing is a legal requirement to operate, not a mark of distinction.

Treatment Services at First Step Recovery

Partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient and outpatient care run to a set weekly schedule, with evenings and weekends spent at home. That suits people holding down work or caring responsibilities, though it asks more of someone managing early recovery alone. Ask what the assessment involves before you commit.

Ask what happens at the end of the program as well as the beginning, since that is where plans usually thin out. Assessment decides the level of care, so ask what that involves and how quickly it can happen. Ask what the assessment involves before you commit.

First Step Recovery Address, Location and Contact Information

The address is 2701 12th Avenue South, Fargo, ND 58103, in Cass County. The catchment reaches Briarwood, Frontier and North River. Confirm what a program covers before traveling in, since the level of care listed is not always the level with capacity.

Telehealth appointments cover some contact where travel is difficult, which removes part of the journey for people further out. Ask what a first appointment involves and how long the current wait runs before making the trip. Waiting times vary with capacity, so call ahead rather than arriving unannounced.

How Much Does Treatment at First Step Recovery Cost?

Cash payment for rehab in North Dakota is usually $7,500 to $14,000 a month for a partial hospitalization program, $3,000 to $9,000 a month for an intensive outpatient program and $1,200 to $5,000 a month for standard outpatient care. No price list for First Step Recovery was found when this page was written, so treat the North Dakota figures as an estimate.

Expect the intake assessment, group therapy and individual counseling to be part of what you pay for. That is a reasonable guess based on how programs are normally priced, as First Step Recovery’s own details were not found. A call to the facility will tell you what is included and what costs more.

Had a really great experience here. Felt completely comfortable. Thank you Roxanne for everything.

Michael Erlandson5 years ago

This place is wonderful! The Village's First Step Recovery program, for people whom are struggling with addiction, is compromised of PHP for people who have been abusing drugs/alcohol who need help to overcome,… Intensive Outpatient so they might continue in recovery along with aftercare groups weekly. The staff REALLY do care, Roxann is amazing! With a wonderful perspective, being a NON-addict on how addiction works & the stark reality of temptation & how difficult it can be to stop. You will work through life problems with specific sets of skills dealing with your particular issues & are allowed the time to process & release with both a counselor & fellow peers with similar struggles. This could be JUST the right fit for you. I hope your willing to try it out if need be. 😁☺😌

Michelle was absolutely wonderful on the phone! I called for my daughter who needed some assistance, and she was very knowledgeable and made me feel comfortable talking about something which is usually uncomfortable to… speak about. She made sure to take the time to really understand what we needed. She was very patient, comforting, and adequate with her assistance! I definitely recommend anyone to go here.
