About Anchor Recovery
Anchor Recovery is a Buffalo, Minnesota outpatient rehabilitation center that provides both in-person and telehealth care to people dealing with substance use and mental health concerns. The center’s mission is to offer supportive, trauma-informed services grounded in dignity, understanding, empathy, and individualized treatment, helping individuals and their families move forward with confidence during recovery.
Services include intensive outpatient programs (IOP) as well as regular outpatient support for adults and adolescents aged 14 to 19. Programs are designed with flexible scheduling and individualized treatment objectives. The “Driving with Care” program delivers DUI/DWI education for clients with court or legal requirements, while chemical health assessments are used to guide the appropriate level of care. Treatment is delivered by licensed professional clinical counselors, licensed alcohol and drug counselors, and licensed independent clinical social workers, combining clinical expertise with a compassionate approach.
Anchor Behavioral Health emphasizes an inclusive, trauma-informed model that integrates multiple evidence-based therapies to support recovery in a comprehensive way. Options may 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 central to the program, with sessions that address relapse prevention, trauma healing, grief and loss, family relationships, and practical life skills. By combining community, structure, and real-world strategies, the approach aims to strengthen long-term well-being.
