We not only focus on treatment, but also long-term recovery.
With our state-of-the-art recovery center opening in the fall of 2021, we’re able to be a leading force in our community in promoting and supporting recovery for people suffering from substance use disorders.
Our Story
Soul Solutions Recovery Center was founded by Patti L Senn, a licensed addiction counselor with over 20 years of professional experience and 27 years of personal recovery. After growing frustrated with the revolving door nature of substance abuse treatment, she knew the Fargo-Moorhead community needed a unique approach to recovery that emphasizes community engagement. Beyond offering a Recovery Management Model of Care, a cornerstone of SSRC is inviting our community to engage in our Recovery Center and Recovery Cafe. “The power of a community to encourage and support long-term recovery is far greater than any treatment program (William White).
With the help of a team of licensed addiction counselors, professional clinical counselors, social workers, and registered nurses, as well as a highly-skilled board of directors and community partners, Soul Solutions was built.
