Residential Internship (Mental Health/SUD)

As we look back on Pride Institute’s almost 38-year history of providing our clients with an inclusive and accepting place for recovery through evidence-based treatment for substance abuse, sexual health and mental health, we realize that Pride Institute’s services and advocacy are needed now more than ever!  Our Residential Treatment Center (RTC) staff in Eden Prairie and our Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) staff in Uptown Minneapolis understand the issues the LGBTQIA community face, and our mission is to give clients the tools needed for addiction and mental health recovery.

For the past four years, Pride Institute has been recognized as one of Newsweek’s Best Addiction Treatment Centers. We have also been honored by the MINNESOTA’S Best STAR TRIBUNE READERS’ CHOICE survey every year since its inception in 2021 with the silver award in the Recovery/Treatment Center category.

We strive to provide the best client-centered care by employing and developing highly qualified staff trained in working specifically with the LGBTQIA community and dedicated to service excellence.
