• Community Behavioral Health Hospitals (CBHHs): Provide inpatient behavioral health care for adults in six communities throughout the state. These 16-bed hospitals offer acute, short-term hospitalization services that include comprehensive assessment of mental, social, functional, and physical health; development of individualized treatment plans with medication management and 24-hour nursing care; and care delivered by multidisciplinary teams consisting of psychiatrists, general practice physicians, psychiatric nurses, psychologists, clinical social workers, addiction counselors, and occupational therapists. Services also emphasize illness management and recovery, as well as individualized discharge planning, care coordination, and aftercare planning to support a successful transition back to an appropriate community-based setting.

• Forensic Mental Health Services: Provides residential treatment services for adults in both secure and non-secure settings on a large campus in St. Peter, Minnesota. The program also operates a 32-bed North Campus facility on the north side of St. Peter and an additional 16-bed facility located off campus in St. Peter. FMHP primarily serves individuals who have been civilly committed by a court as mentally ill and dangerous, often following criminal charges in which a court determined they were not competent to stand trial or not guilty by reason of mental illness or cognitive impairment. Many patients are under more than one type of civil commitment. In addition, Community Integrated Services provides ongoing monitoring and support for FMHP patients who have been provisionally discharged by a court to live in less restrictive community settings. This statewide program serves individuals from all 87 Minnesota counties and supports patients in achieving stable, successful lives in a variety of community settings outside FMHP facilities.

• Forensic Nursing Home: Provides state-operated nursing home and provides nursing home-level care in a secure environment. The facility serves individuals who are civilly committed as mentally ill and dangerous, sexually dangerous persons, or sexual psychopathic personalities, as well as prison inmates on medical release from the Minnesota Department of Corrections. Care provided is consistent with that offered in other nursing homes and includes assistance with daily living, rehabilitation services, and end-of-life care.

• Intensive Residential Treatment Services (IRTS): Provide structured, short-term residential care for adults who no longer require hospitalization or other inpatient treatment but still need ongoing support before returning home. Clients typically have serious mental illness and may also have co-occurring conditions such as traumatic brain injury, addiction, or behavioral disorders. Services are available around the clock with support from mental health professionals and focus on improving psychiatric stability, personal and emotional adjustment, self-sufficiency, and independent living skills. Programs work collaboratively with clients to achieve individual goals and prepare them for a successful transition to home or to a less structured community setting, with an average length of stay of approximately 90 days before discharge.

• Substance Use Disorder Treatment Services: Community Addiction Recovery Enterprise (CARE) provides inpatient substance use disorder treatment services to adults at three locations statewide. The program offers specialized inpatient services for individuals who are chemically dependent and have co-occurring mental illnesses, along with relapse prevention services and comprehensive aftercare planning. All CARE facilities are locked, and clients stay an average of approximately 90 days before discharge, depending on their level of participation and responsiveness to treatment.
