Scott County Community Mental

You can find the Scott County Mental Health Chemical Dependency Center in the city of Shakopee in Minnesota. It’s an outpatient mental health/community mental health clinic and chemical dependency assessment and referral center for residents of Scott County.

Mental Health Center

Mental health treatment here consists of diagnostic assessments, therapy and consultations to help those affected and people around them. They believe your mental health is as important as your physical health here and strive to create an environment for positive mental health outcomes.

They also provide mobile crisis services if needed, which might include help if you’re considering harming yourself or others, if you’re emotionally distraught or extremely anxious, depressed or angry. They also encourage you or a loved one to reach out if you’re showing signs of highly unpredictable or unusual behavior.

Chemical Dependency/SUD

They provide chemical dependency assessments at this facility and they also work with people battling substance use disorder or SUD. One thing I like is that if you’re dealing with SUD issues, you might qualify for help under the Behavioral Health Fund.

To qualify, you need to be uninsured or have an insurance plan that doesn’t cover all your SUD services, be a Minnesota resident and fall within the financial/household guidelines. Those who do qualify will get an assessment and help with SUD for up to one year.

Payment Options

They take insurance, but you have to contact them to ask what they’ll accept. If you don’t have insurance, I’m happy to say that they take payments on a sliding fee scale, which is based on the Minnesota Department of Human Services Income and Eligibility and Fee Schedule.
