Located on 32 acres along the Mississippi River in Otsego, the campus was designed to create an environment where treatment, recovery, wellness, and connection can happen in one place. Riverwood provides men’s co-occurring residential treatment and intensive outpatient treatment with lodging, giving LADCs the opportunity to work with clients at different stages of recovery and be part of their progress throughout the treatment experience.

The campus itself is an extension of that treatment environment. Riverwood includes an indoor fitness facility, walking trails, meditation areas, outdoor recreation, courtyards and gathering spaces, and direct access to the Mississippi River.

For our clinical team, that means more opportunities to engage clients beyond the counseling office and to be part of a treatment community built around stability, connection, personal growth, and long-term recovery.
