The History of DCourakn e seling Services

Established in 1992, Drake and Burau Counseling Services, Inc. began serving the Fargo community with two licensed addiction counselors and a consulting psychiatrist. Offer ing adults and their families services including intensive outpatient treatment and relapse pre vention for their substance use disorders, Drake and Burau recognized the community need for treatment services that catered to chemically dependent adolescents and their families. By 1995, additional licensed addiction counselors and consulting psychiatrists specializing in adolescent care were appointed. Adolescent treatment programming commenced and supplemented the growing need for programs to aide adolescents and their families with their substance abuse and chemical dependency.

Drake and Burau knew the importance of providing an entire family with healing and subsequently added licensed professional clinical counselors in 1996 to practice therapeutic rehabilitation to manage clinically significant disorders other than chemical dependency or substance abuse. In 2001, Drake and Burau Counseling Services, Inc. renamed to Drake Counseling Services, Inc. and introduced North Dakota state sanctioned DUI seminars. Drake’s reputable counseling services expanded to Grand Forks, North Dakota in early 2002 and began providing chemical dependency recovery support, as well as other therapeutic treatment services. From 2002 to 2005, Drake’s Fargo office established Partial Hospitalization Services to both adults and adolescents while the Grand Forks office initiated PHP services for adults only.

Drake Counseling Services, Inc. further expanded their reputable practices from two offices in North Dakota. By reaching out into the heart of Lakes Country, Drake accommodated the rising need for chemical dependency treatment options in rural Minnesota. Beginning with adult programming opening in 2007 and the residential house launching in 2008, both located in Detroit Lakes, Minnesota, Drake Counseling Services, Inc. offers intensive outpatient services and relapse prevention programs to adults. Until its closure in September 2016, Drake Counseling Services, Inc. maintained State of Minnesota licensure to provide adolescents the gift of residential inpatient treatment services. Since 1992, Drake Counseling Services, Inc. has been faithful to the prevention, treatment, and continuing after care of all persons and their families that suffer from mental health and substance abuse disorders. With continued devotion and commitment to the therapeutic healing of the communities around them, Drake’s mission continues to serve individuals and their families offering hope and healing. There is life beyond addiction. Hope is here.

SPEAK TO OUR COUNSELORS IN GRAND FORKS AT (701)757-3200 311 4TH STREET SOUTH, SUITE 106 GRAND FORKS, NORTH DAKOTA 58201

FARGO, N.D. (Valley News Live) - We have uncovered new details surrounding a drug overdose in West Fargo that killed a 19-year-old and sent another teen to the hospital. In April, police found two men unconscious at an apartment building after being exposed to a large amount of fentanyl. One was taken to the hospital and the other, Alex Hirn was found dead. New court documents obtained by Valley News Live show the drugs were delivered by mail and bought through the dark web. the drugs were delivered by mail and bought through the dark web DARK WEB Dangerous drugs purchased on the internet

Anonymous online shipping services make it even harder for law enforcement to catch people. When the package is delivered typically the mail carrier has no idea what is inside. Huston says parents should not be afraid of the technology, but they should be aware about it. “It can’t be a law enforcement issue anymore, that’s what I think, I think it’s got to be a public health issue.” He says the problem is going to get worse, and the addiction problem in the community needs to be addressed. For concerned parents, Lt. Ruskizka recommends checking their children’s online history. He also says to keep in mind that the dark web is accessed through a separate browser that you should watch out for. of the technology, but they should be aware about it Huston says parents should not be afraid

Authorities say people in the Fargo-Moorhead community are buying illegal drugs online and it has led to multiple overdoses. Fargo Police Lt. Shannon Ruskizka says “A lot of these drugs, heroin, fentanyl, carfentanil, those types of drugs have been ordered over the dark web to our community and it’s people who live in our community who have ordered them.” He says they started noticing the dark web after they saw more and more people overdosing and dying. “Drug dealing has been going on for years, maybe even decades, we just were not that aware of it.” 23-year-old Steven Huston set up a test account on a dark web market place to show us what is for sale. He says, “It took me about four minutes to get to this point, four minutes.” He doesn’t buy drugs himself, but says anyone with internet access can. “This stuff is just so cheap that it’s everywhere.”

Huston says you can ship it right to your house and typically get it within two days. “They are selling 10 grams of fentanyl for $30.00 per gram and that’s a lot of fentanyl to be going through the mail.” You can also read reviews from people who have bought the drugs from the same seller. Ruskizka says it is hard to catch the people selling these drugs online. “It’s not attached to you in any other way than your online identity, which doesn’t even have to be close to your real identity. You can make an online identity that’s entirely different than who you are.” Huston says, “The buyer is not really concerned about giving their address to them or anything, they are not going to call the police on you, and the seller is doesn’t have to put their address on it.”

I understood myself only after I destroyedmyself. And only in the process of fixing myself,did I know who I really was.
