Substance Use Disorder Treatment Services
The Community Addiction Recovery Enterprise (CARE) program provides inpatient substance use disorder treatment services to adults at three locations statewide. Specialized treatment services include:
- Inpatient services for people who are chemically dependent and have a co-occurring mental illness
- Relapse prevention services
- Aftercare planning
All CARE facilities are locked. On average, clients stay about 90 days before discharge, depending on participation and responsiveness to treatment.
Admission
Admission to a CARE facility is by referral only. Most referrals are provided by county social service agencies, courts, community hospitals and mental health providers. Adult patients can be admitted to CARE from anywhere in Minnesota. Most clients have been civilly committed by a court as chemically dependent. Referrals are screened by DHS's Central Pre-Admission office and must meet admission criteria.

Visiting
To protect patient privacy, CARE staff provide visiting information to family, friends and others only at the patient's request and if the proper release form has been signed. The patient's treatment team may also deny visits from specific visitors if there is a therapeutic reason to do so.
CARE facilities try to accommodate visitors at other times if they are traveling from a long distance or there are other extenuating circumstances. While the facilities try not to turn visitors away, they can’t guarantee there will be a private meeting space available during non-posted visiting hours.
