Meet The Team
Arika Meyer, LADC
Chemical Health Treatment Director
Aricka Meyer began her career in the human service field as a chemical health counselor for adolescents and eventually branching out to serve in a High Intensity Inpatient treatment facility for adults. Aricka completed a Bachelors in Psychology; minor in sociology and chemical dependency at Bemidji State University. Aricka is and has been a Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor in the State of Minnesota for the past 13 years. She believes there are many roads to recovery and that programming should not only address genetic, environmental, and the development of life skills, but also address the unique characteristics of each individual. Aricka believes in a multidisciplinary approach to recovery, thus incorporating not only the 12 steps, but also cognitive-behavioral, solution-focused and person-centered techniques provided in a safe and therapeutic environment.
