Minnesota Resources


Medicaid, medicare and medi-cal programs are currently being offered to those in Minnesota. With a rise in addictions and the opioid epidemic, more help and changes need to be made in order to get the help that is needed.

The new toolkit that is placed in many employer’s handbooks are now working to help them fight addiction and recovery in the best way possible. This toolkit aims at helping these individuals, rather than punishing them. Efforts are currently being ramped up to fight against the epidemic that is at a standstill and continues to take so many lives. Though Minnesota is not the only state that is seeing a rise in addictions, they do feel that new bills need to be put in place.

We provide resources below to offer ways to get the help that is needed. Whether you have Medicaid, medicare or medi-cal coverage (not private insurance), you still can get help for your addiction.
