About Specialized Treatment Services Saint Paul
The St. Paul Specialized Treatment Services is located in Saint Paul, Minnesota. Adults, who have a chemical dependency, are able to receive outpatient treatment. Their staff consists of doctors, pharmacists, nurses, counselors, and case managers.
When you arrive, via walk-in or by appointment, you’ll have a comprehensive chemical assessment evaluation. The evaluations are completed within 24-48 hours. It’ll help determine if any of the services would be helpful to you and your situation.
Their outpatient treatment program is called Six Dimensions Counseling. I like that they provide day and evening counseling. This can include medication assisted treatment through methadone and buprenorphine maintenance.
When it comes to individual therapy, you will be required to meet with your counselor once per week, for one hour, the initial first 10 weeks. After that, you will meet with your counselor once per month. Of course, if needed, you are able to meet more. The counselor will help develop your personal treatment plan.
Daily chemical groups are available. They meet in the mornings for one hour, five days per week. They go over many different topics. Some of those topics are relapse prevention, stress management, living skills, and recreation. What stood out to me the most is that all of their clients are provided access to basic medical care.
