AMFM Mental Health Treatment (A Mission for Michael) offers residential mental health treatment in Minnesota. We serve the entire state by welcoming adults 18 and older who are searching for a higher level of care to suit their mental health needs and goals. We have four homes in Stillwater and Hugo and strive to make you feel comfortable during treatment with 24/7 support and a deviation from the typical hospital-like environment.
With weekly psychiatry care and individual and group therapy sessions, our AMFM houses in Minnesota offer structured support in familiar settings. We opened in 2025 to provide this kind of care to Minnesotans so they don’t have to leave the state to receive proper help. We also offer gender-specific housing to provide you with an accepting place to heal among your peers. Whether you live in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area or greater Minnesota, we are here to help. Discuss your options for Washington County AMFM mental health care in the St. Croix Valley, east of Saint Paul, with our friendly admissions team today.
Our facilities are an integral part of the treatment process. Discover where you’ll stay.
Every Minnesota home shares the same clinical team, psychiatric care, and daily structure. The differences are in the setting. Explore each home to find the right fit, or see all AMFM locations.
A welcoming home on Dellwood Road with single and double rooms, and calm, well-appointed spaces to rest between therapy sessions.
A secluded home on Arcola Trail with a large backyard and several rooms set aside for individual and group therapy.
A quiet, tucked-away home on Otchipwe Avenue that gives residents room to slow down and focus on treatment.
Set among the woods and open space of semi-rural Hugo, this home on Homestead Avenue offers a peaceful place to recover, just north of Stillwater.
Many people who stay in our Minnesota homes have tried a variety of treatment options like therapy, medication, or even hospital stays. When symptoms become difficult to manage and life responsibilities are falling by the wayside, AMFM is here to help. Minnesotans who have safety concerns or environmental triggers that worsen their mental health symptoms can seek solace in Stillwater or Hugo. Learn about our structured care offerings that you will have access to while living on site.
Days at our Minnesota homes run from about 7:00 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. They include three or more clinical groups, meals prepared by the chef who serves our Minnesota homes, exercise in each home’s gym, and time to rest. Each client meets weekly with our Minnesota psychiatric team and with a case manager, and medication is reviewed as treatment progresses. Learn more about residential mental health treatment at AMFM.
Clients at our Minnesota homes have two individual therapy sessions a week, plus daily groups. Care is built on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), delivered by clinicians trained through our collaboration with the Beck Institute, and on dialectical behavior therapy (DBT). Accelerated resolution therapy (ART) is available when your Minnesota clinical team recommends it. Each week also includes a Food as Medicine group, yoga, creative writing, and life skills.
AMFM Minnesota can work with your family to coordinate your care. Within 24 hours of admission, families are contacted to discuss options and aftercare. Family members are invited to join a weekly online family group so we can keep in touch regardless of location. If they are nearby in Minnesota, we have Sunday family visits. Discharge planning starts early. Before you leave, your case manager helps arrange outpatient therapy and psychiatric follow-up near your home, whether that’s in the Twin Cities, greater Minnesota, or western Wisconsin.

When choosing a residential mental health treatment center, you have to consider everything from location to accreditations. Here is what you can expect from our Stillwater and Hugo homes:
Our Minnesota team is comprised of regional leadership and oversees care across all four of our Stillwater and Hugo homes. You can feel comfortable with decisions made about your treatment, because you’ll be involved with the process and our leadership is well-acquainted with the treatment centers and local community. Your specific care team may vary, but AMFM Minnesota has psychiatric providers, Beck-trained therapists, case managers, and 24/7 staff available to all residents. Get to know the people who will be part of your treatment below.
Fill out a form on this page or call our Minnesota admissions line. Whether you’re reaching out for yourself or for someone you love, a member of our admissions team will be ready to answer your questions. We will ask you about what’s been happening, what treatment has already been tried, and where you are located. While you’re on the phone, we can confidentially check your insurance benefits and explain any costs up front. No strings attached.
Next, you’ll talk with a clinician about your history, your current symptoms, and what you want to get out of treatment. This conversation confirms whether our Stillwater and Hugo homes are the right level of care. This helps shape your treatment plan before you even arrive, but adjustments can be made during the program as needed. Bring up any dietary or medical/accessibility needs now so we can plan ahead for your Minnesota stay. If residential care isn’t the right fit, we’ll help you find a better option. Learn more about our full admissions process.
We can arrange transportation for your Minnesota intake. This way, you don’t have to work out the logistics. When you arrive, staff will welcome you, walk you through the home, and help you settle into your room. Within 24 hours, a clinician can contact your family, and your therapist and case manager will follow up with a more detailed update within 72 hours. Before you arrive, review what to pack for residential treatment.
AMFM Mental Health Treatment works with many private insurance plans, including PPO plans, to help Minnesotans access residential care. Coverage for a residential stay at our Minnesota homes depends on your plan, your deductible, and whether the stay is medically necessary. Verification is free and confidential. If your plan doesn’t cover the full stay, we’ll walk you through options like private pay before you decide anything. Learn more about our Minnesota insurance coverage and payment options, or verify your insurance with our team now.

Our Minnesota homes are built for adults whose mental health symptoms have started to take over daily life. That can mean depression that makes it hard to get out of bed or go to work, or anxiety and trauma responses that keep you from leaving the house. You may have struggles maintaining a healthy relationship or professional connections. You may even be experiencing symptoms of psychosis that feel frightening and hard to explain. Many adults who come to our Stillwater and Hugo homes have already tried outpatient therapy, medication changes, or a short hospital stay somewhere in Minnesota.
Residential care adds what those options typically do not. Our Minnesota team provides round-the-clock support, a predictable routine, weekly psychiatric care, and distance from daily pressures, all in one place. AMFM programs focus on primary mental health conditions and treating the root of your symptoms. Every admission starts with a clinical assessment to confirm that residential treatment is the right level of care. If it isn’t, we’ll help you find the right next step in Minnesota.

Our homes also hold national accreditation and a clinical training partnership:

NABH is the leading advocacy organization for hospitals and major providers. They influence federal policy for access, reimbursement, and quality behavioral health services.
NAATP is a membership association committed to ethical and clinical excellence for addiction providers. They set best practice standards and lead research.
MN DOH inspects and regulates hospitals delivering mental health services. They also advance public health through well-being and suicide prevention efforts.
