Substance use disorder reform

Since 2012, the Minnesota Department of Human Services has been working with individuals, providers, counties and stakeholders to update our substance use disorder (SUD) treatment system. In January 2017, Substance Use Disorder System Reform - Report and Recommendations (PDF) was presented to the legislature, and during the 2017 session, significant components of the SUD Reform plan were passed. This page provides information about SUD Reform, including the new services and implementation timeline.
