About North Central Human Service Center
North Central Human Service Center operates at 1015 South Broadway, Suite 18, in Minot, North Dakota, serving Ward County and the surrounding north-central region as part of the state’s Human Service Center system. The center is accredited by the Council on Accreditation (COA) and is registered with SAMHSA as a substance use treatment facility offering a meaningful range of care levels — medical detox, residential treatment, intensive outpatient, and standard outpatient programming.
Clinically, the program serves both adolescents and adults and accepts patients with co-occurring substance use and mental health concerns. Cognitive behavioral therapy is among the listed evidence-based modalities, and telehealth is part of the service profile — which matters in a state where many patients live far from the nearest physical office. The center also accommodates deaf and hard-of-hearing patients through sign-language access.
As a state-operated safety-net facility, North Central Human Service Center accepts a broader payment mix than most private programs. Medicaid, Medicare, TRICARE, private insurance, state insurance, and self-pay are all accepted, and a published sliding-fee schedule plus financial assistance keep services available to patients without coverage. The center’s mandate as part of the state’s regional human service network is to ensure that residents of north-central North Dakota have access to behavioral health care regardless of ability to pay.
Because the center is part of a connected regional system, patients who need a level of care that exceeds outpatient capacity can be linked into other Human Service Centers, contracted providers, or specialty programs across the state. Locally, North Central serves as the entry point for assessments, ongoing counseling, and coordinated care planning — making it the practical first call for residents of Minot and surrounding communities who are starting a treatment search.
