About Anchor Recovery

Anchor Recovery is an outpatient treatment center based in Buffalo, Minnesota, offering in-person and telehealth services for individuals navigating addiction and mental health challenges. Their core mission is to deliver compassionate, trauma-informed care rooted in dignity, empathy, personalization and empowering individuals and families on their path to recovery.
The center offers intensive outpatient programs (IOP) and standard outpatient services for adults and adolescents ages 14 to 19, with flexible schedules and personalized goals. Their “Driving with Care” program provides DUI/DWI education for those with legal obligations, and chemical health assessments help determine the right level of care. Each program is led by licensed professional clinical counselors, licensed alcohol and drug counselors, and licensed independent clinical social workers, ensuring treatment is both expert and compassionate.
Anchor Behavioral Health offers a trauma-informed, inclusive approach that blends a range of evidence-based therapies to support holistic recovery. Modalities include trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), accelerated resolution therapy (ART), adaptive internal relational (AIR) network, brainspotting (BSP), sensorimotor psychotherapy (levels 1 and 2), sensory motor arousal regulation treatment (SMART), motivational interviewing (MI), and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR). Group therapy is the foundation of care, with sessions focused on relapse prevention, trauma recovery, grief and loss, family dynamics, and life skills. This integrated model promotes long-term well-being through connection, structure, and practical tools for daily life.

Private for-profit organization. Primary focus: substance use treatment, detoxification.
