The largest facility of its kind in North Dakota and northern Minnesota, Prairie St. John’s provides a full continuum of care to child, adolescent and adult patients living with mental health and substance use challenges
The acute inpatient program treats adults in an intensive therapeutic structure, providing psychiatric stabilization and 24-hour nursing care for patients experiencing critical symptoms.
This outpatient program is designed for adults who need organized treatment services, but are able to do this within the context of their usual environment and daily activities to help break the cycle of substance abuse.
Partial Hospitalization (PHP) is a step-down level in treatment, appropriate for patients who are able to maintain themselves in the community at a minimum to moderate level of functioning and those who present no immediate threat to themselves or others.
Prairie St. John’s provides inpatient, substance use residential, Partial Hospitalization, Intensive Outpatient, and clinic services to adults, ages 18 and older experiencing a behavioral health crisis.
Our child and adolescent psychiatrists are trained and experienced in all the specialized skills it takes to effectively diagnose and treat our youngest patients.
Prairie St. John’s has compiled a number of educational resources to provide you with more information about common mental health conditions, such as anxiety disorder, bipolar disorder and depression.

A professional mental health evaluation can often explain symptoms or causes that are not apparent on the surface. Behavioral problems may be symptoms of underlying psychological, biological or emotional issues that inhibit a child’s social, academic and emotional development.
Mental illness can be the result of compounding problems and prolonged pressures. Teens may turn to drugs or alcohol to help forget about their responsibilities, or as a way to assert their independence. The easy availability of alcohol or powerfully addictive drugs like methamphetamines make this experimentation common and dangerous.
At Prairie St. John’s, we have experience identifying and treating mental illness and addictions in adolescents. We have helped thousands of teens gain better control of themselves and their lives and helped parents reclaim their child and sense of family.

“They honestly saved my life when I was ready to give up.”
“I recommend Prairie St. John’s because they are great to reach out to when you’re in a mental health crisis, and you feel yourself ready to give up on everything. When I first went there, I was
afraid because I didn’t know what it would be like. However, I became less afraid over time. I am grateful for them because they helped me in so many ways. They honestly saved my life when I was ready to give up. Without Prairie St. John’s I probably wouldn’t be here right now. When I felt like everything was too much for me and started engaging in self harm, Prairie St. John’s helped me find
alternative ways to cope with my depression and anxiety. I love this place, and I recommend it to anyone who needs help with their mental health. Last thing is: Thank you Prairie St. John’s. I am so glad I
reached out to you when I felt hopeless. I am really thankful for everything you did to help me through.
