Substance use disorder reform
Since 2012, the Minnesota Department of Human Services has been working with partners, providers, counties, and tribes to update our state’s substance use disorder (SUD) treatment system. SUD reform seeks to decrease barriers for people seeking SUD treatment services. We do this by granting individuals access to SUD treatment services the same way that they access other health care services: by choosing the provider directly. This is a person-centered approach that allows individuals to select the right level of service.
