Drug Use Trends in MinnesotaFree Rehab Centers in Minnesota

Overall, Minnesota has fewer drug users than the national average. That may be a potential indicator of good treatment programs in Minnesota.

The substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration produces a survey titled the National Survey on Drug Use and Health. The focus of the survey is gathering national and state level information on the use of addictive substances and mental health. According to the 2009-2010 survey, when asked whether or not they had used illicit drugs in the previous month, 6.9 percent of Minnesota residents indicated they had. This is significantly lower than the national average of 8.82 percent.

The overall rate of use remains lower than the national average, even when marijuana is removed from the questions. Asked if they had used illicit drugs (not including marijuana) in the previous month, 2.84 percent of Minnesota residents said “yes.” The national average was 3.6 percent.

In the Minneapolis/St. Paul region, heroin and methamphetamine continue to dominate the drug abuse scene. Most recently, heroin admissions to treatment have surpassed those of marijuana users. In fact, 16.5 percent of admissions are for heroin treatment. And, of those admissions, 36.9 percent were for individuals under the age of 26, which signals a growing youth problem with heroin. Luckily, free rehab is available to treat these problems.

What Is Free Rehab Exactly?

As the name implies, free rehab is exactly that: rehab that is offered without cost to qualifying substance abusers. Generally, these programs are funded by state and federal governments, rather than by patient charges. Thus, they can provide services without cost.

What Do I Have to Do to Qualify?

Free rehab is only available to those who need it. If you have the assets, income, or insurance needed to fund your treatment, you are expected to do so. If, however, you live in poverty or lack insurance, this service is for you.

To prove that you qualify, most programs will ask that you submit some of the following:

  • Proof of Minnesota residency
  • Proof of legal US residency
  • Proof of income
  • Proof of assets
  • Proof of savings
  • Proof of debts

The specific necessities vary between centers, so make it a point to inquire about admissions requirements when you initially call a prospective free rehab center.

What Are Some Pros and Cons?

The biggest possible con is that you may face a waiting list. Because the group of people needing free rehab in Minnesota is so great, the centers cannot serve the entire population at the same time. Instead, people have to wait their turn.

However, if you have a condition (like pregnancy) that makes your case time sensitive, you will be given priority. You may also be given medication during your waiting period.

The biggest benefits are cost and care. If you are eligible, you get access to detox, treatment, and aftercare without charge. You will be treated by a licensed staff of professionals who are experts in their fields.
