There’s a state operated behavioral health care system that provides treatment for individuals with substance use disorders and mental health conditions. They offer treatment for adults and children and work with Direct Care and Treatment to provide employment services.
Acute, Short Term Mental Health Hospitalization
At this location in Bemidji, Minnesota, they provide acute, short term hospitalization services for adults who require mental health treatment and medication management. The hospital has 16 beds and uses a multidisciplinary team approach that includes psychologists, psychiatrists, physicians, addiction counselors and occupational therapists.
Customized treatment plans include an individualized discharge plan and aftercare plan to transition back into an appropriate setting in home communities. I saw that client care is coordinated throughout their stay and through discharge. This is one of six locations in Minnesota that offer these services.
Some Logistics
Only friends and family are allowed to visit and only at the patient's request. However, based on your treatment needs, visitors may be denied for a short time. While they do not offer a specific substance use disorder treatment program at this location, they do support your mental health needs after having completed a structured program.
Admission is by referral only. Referrals generally come from the court system, healthcare provider, or county social services. Referral forms are available online and they encourage you to call the central admission office when you have questions about their services.
