Waypoint for Adults (Ages 18+)
Our adult DBT for Substance Use program is for individuals looking to work towards and maintain sobriety.
DBT for Substance Use
Skills-based DBT for substance use
If you are dealing with both substance use and overwhelming emotions, it can feel like a constant cycle – using to cope, then feeling worse after.
As Minnesota’s leaders in DBT for over two decades, our DBT for Substance Use program is designed to break that cycle.
At Mental Health Systems (MHS), you’ll build real skills to manage emotions, work towards sobriety, and create more stability in your life.

Waypoint may be a good fit if you:

- Want more structure and support around both mental health and substance use
Working with your treatment team
If you are currently working with external treatment providers and an individual therapist, you can continue working with them while in our program.
We aim to complement – not replace – the support you already have whenever possible.
In-person vs Virtu-Clinic
Is in-person or virtual treatment the best fit for substance use recovery? Research and MHS outcome data show similar results between virtual and in-person programming, making the best option the one that best fits your needs and supports consistent participation.
