Description

Direct Access allows an individual to go directly to a provider they choose to receive a comprehensive assessment and access care immediately. Ramsey County Chemical Health Unit may refer individuals who are chemically dependent to a treatment (inpatient, outpatient, or group residential housing) or will connect them to other community programs. Assessments are completed by a variety of partners at locations throughout the community. Same-day or next-day appointments may be available. NOTE: Ramsey County Chemical Health Services no longer provides chemical health assessments and only determines eligibility for substance use disorder funding assistance. Direct Access is the only way to access substance use disorder services. Direct Access is financial assistance that can be used to help residents pay for substance use disorder services.
