Focused Residential Care for Men
Located on a wooded hillside in Duluth, Howard Friese Hillside provides residential treatment for men recovering from substance use and co-occurring mental health disorders. Operated by a private nonprofit organization, the 24-bed program offers trauma-responsive, person-centered care with 24/7 supervision. The setting encourages focus, safety, and structure while helping residents strengthen coping skills and build supportive peer connections.
Evidence-Based Counseling and Recovery Skills
Treatment incorporates evidence-based approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, relapse prevention, and anger management. Through group and individual counseling, residents build insight, emotional regulation, and the practical life skills needed for independent living. Educational sessions focus on daily routines, communication, and decision-making, tools that support lasting recovery.
Building Stability Beyond Treatment
The program emphasizes real-world reintegration. Staff coordinate services to help residents secure employment, reconnect with family or support networks, and find stable housing. This focus on job readiness and independent living prepares clients to return to their communities with confidence and stability.
Integrated Medical and Medication Support
Howard Friese Hillside offers on-site medical and psychiatric care, supported by a clinical pharmacist who manages medication needs. The program provides access to medications for addiction treatment (MAT), including suboxone and methadone, and supports residents using medications for alcohol use disorder prescribed elsewhere. As part of the Center for Alcohol and Drug Treatment, Hillside connects to detox, withdrawal management, outpatient, and telehealth programs, ensuring continuity of care across all recovery stages.

Across the site, our team has conducted over 1,000 pre-admissions calls to better understand the patient experience, interviewed facility clinical leaders, performed facility background checks, and compared our information against trusted public data sources.
Our research process begins with data from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), accrediting bodies including The Joint Commission and CARF, government licensing agencies, and other trusted sources. From there, our team conducts significant original research, including:
- Pre-admissions calls: We speak with admissions staff to get a candid picture of patient experience.
- Background checks: We review complaints from past clients, media reports, actions taken by accrediting bodies, and positive recognition from notable organizations.
- Clinical interviews: We have in-depth conversations with clinical leadership, often lasting up to one hour, that give us a better understanding of clinical care.
- Data partnerships: We ingest and analyze exclusive data that provides information about in-network insurance status, cost, and more.
Research varies by facility. Each facility profile shows which research steps we completed and when each step was last performed. Learn more about our research process and background checks.
How we evaluate treatment facilities
These data help us develop a Trust Score for each facility—a simple letter grade that helps you assess how much confidence to place in a facility based on the information available to us. Trust Score considers accreditation, operating history, notable recognition, and concerns identified during our background check. Our Trust Score is an objective rating that is never influenced by advertiser payment. Learn more about our Trust Score methodology.
Important disclaimer
We cannot guarantee the quality of treatment at any facility. We cannot independently confirm the accuracy of every data point, and some information may become outdated or change over time. A Trust Score is a starting point, not a guarantee of treatment quality or outcomes. Please contact us if you would like to update or correct facility information.
