Substance Abuse & Addiction Counseling in North Dakota
Personalized Addiction Counseling for Substance Abuse Recovery
At Summit Counseling Services, we understand addiction impacts more than the individual. It can strain relationships, disrupt work and health, and leave you feeling stuck.
If you or someone you love is struggling, our certified counselors provide compassionate care and a clear path forward through addiction counseling.
If you need immediate help or want to explore treatment resources, the SAMHSA National Helpline offers free, confidential support 24/7.
We offer in-person counseling and outpatient services, plus secure telehealth across North Dakota. Our goal is to meet you where you are and support your recovery with practical tools, consistent guidance, and respectful care. If you are also dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, or trauma, explore our mental health counseling options for coordinated support.
