Advanced Counseling is an in-person IOP treatment facility for adults with co-occurring disorders located in Plymouth, MN. As a result, we receive many referrals to help clients with geographical convenience and/or transportation restraints. Many clients have also voiced benefit of attending in-person groups, and therefore we also receive referrals form facilities who are only offering virtual programming.
