Transformation House – Ferry Street, Anoka

I am an alumni, I am from Anoka so after my terrible experience at (the old) River place in Anoka, I went to Transformation house. 8 actually went there a few times , only completed it one time though. I couldn't tell… you today how the program is TBH, but back when Betty was the owner (R.I.P.) and when Brian was the head councilor, and Angel was one of the cooks and Natalie was one of the technicians.... Back than that place really helped me out. They were so patient with me, they gave me the opportunity to get whatever I want out of it. Which really is like most places. Whatever you put into it you will get out of it. I hope and pray that the love and care Betty had for people in recovery lives on through Shiloh Ministries (Transformation house)

Really really disappointed to hear they got rid of their CPRS services. A true disservice to any new client coming in. My CPRS was one of my biggest supporters in my journey with transformation house, and witjout them I… don't know that I'd have stayed until graduation. Truly a decision I think needs revisiting.

My UA gave a false positive for fetty now I am being punished before the real results come from the lab. I did NOT use and feel it’s unjust to punish me. Some staff have been VERY rude about this situation

I can't say enough good things about Transformation House. My experience here was a night and day difference from my previous treatment center. My counselor was incredible – so empathetic and understanding, which made… it easier to be honest and work through things. The entire staff genuinely cares about your well-being. It's clear they're not just going through the motions. What I appreciated most was that they focused on helping me find the right path forward, even after I left. The outpatient program they connected me with was fantastic. Today, I'm proud to say I've graduated, I'm in college, I have a job, and most importantly, I have my kids back in my life. My advice to anyone going to Transformation House is to be honest with yourself and your counselor, and truly commit to the process. Stop making excuses and put in the work – they will meet you where you are and provide the support you need. I also built some strong connections with the other women there. The staff creates a supportive environment, but ultimately, your willingness to change is key. Transformation House truly changed my life, and I'm incredibly grateful for how far I've come.

Place saved my life and helped turn me around and doing so might have saved other because I did not care about human lives of you where between me and what I wanted it was bad for you and by me being there for a long… time I learned to care for my neighbors and also became a man working full time and still doing out patient full time and every one cares for you from the owner to the techs it's a true honor being and alumni member from there

Oh where do I start? This place has Literally Changed my whole process on wanting to stay sober!! The atmosphere is great! Tho I didn’t need impatient Their out patient program is Great.

Awesome place changed my life

He is a extraordinary psychiatrist and has a great personality

Being I'm from Anoka, after leaving Stearns county, I felt very "at home" at the Transformation House. The step down program is wonderful for those who have no home to go back to while in their recovery journey.… Dr.Patrick Dixon, I've kept though my recovery journey. I wouldn't have found him if it wasn't for Transformation House.

OMG, where do I begin?!? I just would like to say that TH2 Is soooooo awesome, we have great staff and theyre ALLLLL my favorite and are all soo professional, caring and understanding 24/7, Kate Is always soo… supportive, so Is Kati, Toni, Renae, Liz, [every tech] the counselors are AMAZING and help tremendously even If they arent your counselor they advocate for you too! the CPRS's are amaaaazing as well.... I couldnt be any happier with my stay here, Iam in noooooo rush or hurry to get out of here! :)

Zero Stars!! I went to Transformation House, after 30 days of inpatient treatment at a different Recovery inpatient location in the twin cities. Once at Transformation House, I spent a month and a half in the inpatient… building A, then went to the outpatient program next door in building B. Both buildings were incredibly dirty. There were a couple good counselors and I learned from my peers during group work, but this place is really terrible run, and I think unsafe.The food was near rotten. The kitchen was atrocious. There is no cook. Clients take turns cooking food out of what’s in the refrigerator and cupboards, which is so rotten sometimes, that while I was there, main person in charge of filling the pantry, was so frustrated, she just up and quit. The worst is that when I decided to transfer to another center, I told Transformation House, I be coming for my things around noon. I had been living there for 2 1/2 months. The manager there, decided to just throw my things in boxes and bags, and set out on the parking lot, where the garbage is. I lost over $1200 of property in 2 1/2 hours. When I called the police, they disregarded my report and concern, when I told them the location. He said, “what do you expect?”. Zero Stars for the Fridley police department on this one.

Dr Patrick Dixon is an amazing doctor, would recommend him to anyone looking for a caring compassionate healthcare provider!

I really don't like the idea of my daughter not having her phone with her she has people that have a hard time getting ahold of her, and she has graduated from this place three times already I think this place just… likes to get money from the state.

I have an excellent psychiatrist through them. Their support staff is very professional & helpful as well.

Management and Counselors discriminate. Have been reported to Health and Human Services. Cannot get Meds straight and leave clients WITHOUT needed medication. The Management has no compassion for people's needs and… emotional well-being. DO NOT GO THERE if you are a white man needing help. Christian, I left 2 messages with Ashley. No callback. I left 1 message with Carrie no callback. I sent 2 emails with no response. 1 minute after your response my partner got a call from his Therapist and she discontinued his care. We can now add retaliation to the list

An amazing experience, couldn’t be happier! The admission team is awesome!

Where to start….. ok let’s start with intake. First off they rush the process, don’t tell you even the most basic of rules, for me it was like the tech staff were just too busy to really even care. Yet the second I… broke an unknown rule they were jumping down my throat. Some rules are enforced but most seem bendable depending on who is working. There isn’t really any consistency. They pick favorites. Some women had to do their chores and got a lot of pushback if they didn’t, others either lied to get out of them, refused to do them, or just signed off that they were done when they never did. With that said the place is absolutely disgusting. They don’t believe in air conditioning so no matter the temp outside it’s always a balmy 80 degrees. You’re not allowed to put the ac (which didn’t work anyhow) below 70. Passes: during the week you’re only allowed to leave on pass for “recovery” related things. Unless of course you’re a favored one then you just lie and say you’re going to a meeting and go hang out with your boyfriend all day. One girl didn’t even have to lie she just straight up told them she was going with her boyfriend and they didn’t care. For me I had to beg to even leave for primary care appointments, tobacco store, library. They have a point system so if you attend all groups and do your chores each day you get to go to a fun outing like the movies or the beach. But they decided to stop doing that so there is literally no reason to do chores and the place just gets all the more nasty and disgusting. If your lucky enough to get an awesome counselor (there’s only one her name is Tara if you get any other GOOD LUCK!) then you may learn some things and feel good about your progress. Others ridicule girls about how much makeup they wear (this girl there literally cried because her counselor wouldn’t leave her alone about this), same counselor put a patient at high risk for “insurance reasons” when she had a cps case but didn’t give a damn that this effected what THEY thought. She also would say things in her reports that she was only “passively participating” in group. I promise you that girl was all about her recovery and probably participated more than anyone else. All in all I would strongly suggest looking into other programs. If you want a clean environment, fair shot at being treated equally, and want to maintain your sanity…… and body temp in the summer months….. proceed with extreme caution.

I love the staff and the counseling system! The women are supportive AF

I like the location
