Mental Health Resources Inc

They are set up for 2 levels: outpatient and telemedicine. Of the 8 centers within 14 miles of Minneapolis, 2 offer a bed.

They do not detox. Withdrawal from alcohol or benzodiazepines in particular is a medical event, and the closest place set up for it is in Minneapolis, under a mile away.

They offer a program for people dealing with past trauma, which is worth confirming on the call rather than assuming. A named program and one with a place free this month are different things, and Minneapolis has 8 other centers to ask.

They prescribe buprenorphine and naltrexone. Medication and counseling together is the standard of care for opioid use rather than an either or, and not every place near Minneapolis offers both.

They offer telemedicine, so some of this can be done by video rather than traveling into Minneapolis.

They treat adults from 26 to 64 and young adults from 18 to 25. Ask whether the groups are split by age, because in Minneapolis that can mean one mixed room rather than several.

Most plans cover addiction treatment to some degree, because federal parity rules put it alongside other medical care. A benefits check is a specific thing a billing office does, and it is more reliable than a figure quoted on the phone. Get any authorization in writing, with the number of days it covers.

It happens to most people at some point, and it says nothing about whether this will work. A recurrence is treated as part of the condition rather than as a failure of character. Ask what they do differently for somebody who has been through a program before.
