Cochran Recovery Services

Cochran Recovery Services provides medium-intensity residential treatment (asam 3.1) for adults identifying as men. Opened in 1974 and becoming managed by nuway alliance in 2019, this facility continued to meet a vital need in 2022 by providing quarantine space for clientswith covid-19, allowing them to continue receiving care and treatment.in 2023 cocrhan Recovery Services relocated its campus from the Minnesota state veterans home in hastings, to the former ramsey county care center in maplewood. The maplewood faclity has a capacity of more than double, and was constructed nearly 100 years after the previous hastings location. Cochran served 690 individuals in 2023. Like many of the nation's independently operated behavioral healthcare providers, Cochran Recovery Services faces daunting challenges posed by constantly evolving and complex policies, insurance regulations, and market conditions including private equity takeovers of behvioral health operators. While the need for affordable high-quality treatment for substance use disorder and co-occurring mental health conditions has never been higher, the demands of compliant service delivery have never been greater. The country lacks qualified caregivers. Clients show up to treatment with higher symptom acuity and more complex diagnoses. Insurance documentation requirements exacerbate the workload of fatigued providers. Rising real estate prices and the need for additional housing increase the costs of building or leasing facilities and public resistance to having nearby addiction treatment facilities can make it difficult for operators to establish new programs.a main goal of nuway alliance is, when called upon, to assume the management and operation of underperforming or otherwise at-risk treatment providers to maintain or increase their treatment capacity and improve their quality. Nuway alliance began operating and managing Cochran Recovery Services in 2019 when financial pressures threatened the closure of this longstanding and much-needed program. Nuway alliance increased the program's capacity, treatment efficacy, and efficiency by applying managerial and operational expertise. Through concerted efforts by the nuway alliance leadership team, financial stability, clinical innovation, and employee relations improved, allowing the program to enhance its treatment offering. While nuway alliance is the operating entity responsible for managing and maintaining Cochran Recovery Services operation, Cochran maintained its identity and brand name, which is known to community members and employees.cochran Recovery Services is managed by nuway alliance, Minnesota's largest nonprofit extended behavioral healthcare provider by number of clients served. Nuway alliance meets an estimated 12 percent of Minnesota's adult treatment needs, 23 percent of the state's publiclyfunded treatment needs.
