"I've been sober for 8 months and I attribute Emily's counseling as a big reason for that."

Emily has a been a great help to me in being more open about my alcohol problem. She's encouraged me to find other forms of treatment like AA and pushed me to communicate with my friends and family. I've been sober for 8 months and I attribute Emily's counseling as a big reason for that. She's also helped me to navigate anxiety issues while dealing with my recent divorce.

Addiction and Recovery Support in Fargo, ND
Compassion. Connection. Real, lasting change.

Whether you’re just beginning to explore treatment options, actively working toward recovery, or walking alongside someone you love through their addiction journey, River Haven Counseling is here to support you—without judgment, without shame, and with genuine care.

We believe that healing from addiction is not just about stopping a behavior; it’s about reclaiming your life, restoring relationships, and reconnecting with what truly matters. Our therapists meet you exactly where you are, creating a safe and honest space to talk openly, heal deeply, and move forward with clarity and confidence.

What You Can Expect

Our addiction and recovery support services are designed for adults across North Dakota. We offer flexible in-person, virtual, and hybrid sessions so you can receive support in the way that works best for you.

We work with people facing:

  • Substance use concerns (alcohol, drugs, prescription misuse)
  • Behavioral addictions (such as gambling, shopping, or screen overuse)
  • Dual diagnosis and co-occurring mental health challenges
  • Relapse prevention and ongoing recovery support
  • Family and partner support

Our therapeutic approach is grounded in empathy and backed by evidence-based practices, including:

  • Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Identify and challenge patterns that reinforce addiction
  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): Learn to navigate urges while committing to values-based living
  • Interpersonal Therapy (IPT): Repair and strengthen relationships that may have been strained
  • Strength-Based Counseling: Build on your inner resilience and what’s already working

You don’t have to do this alone. Our therapists are here to help you:

  • Break free from shame and self-blame
  • Develop healthy coping strategies that actually work
  • Navigate setbacks with compassion, not criticism
  • Strengthen relationships and support systems
  • Create a path to recovery that feels doable and real for you
