The Minnesota Model of Substance Abuse Treatment is one model of addiction treatment used effective in treating addiction. Since 2000, this model has been utilized effectively in providing therapeutic treatment in...both inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation programs (Foote, 2006, Ringwald, 2002).
The model has a solid foundation relative to...all rehabilitation programs (Vaillant, 2000). Doweiko (2015) stated that the treatment plan is multi-modal by meeting four criteria in rehabilitation programs which "1) compulsory supervision, 2) changing behavior to replace SUD, 3) commitment to recovery versus substance use, and 4) development in spirituality" (p.441).
