Questions people ask about Ramsey County Mental Health Center
Which levels of care does Ramsey County Mental Health Center have?
They provide outpatient and telemedicine. Whichever one you start at the usual pattern is to step down through the levels rather than stop at once, and Minneapolis is the closest place to carry that on if you move.
Can you detox at Ramsey County Mental Health Center?
No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Saint Paul, under a mile away.
Does Ramsey County Mental Health Center have beds?
Outpatient only. Nobody stays overnight, so the week is built around appointments you travel to in Saint Paul.
How many options are within driving distance?
There are 8 more within a short drive of Saint Paul, so this does not have to be the only call you make.
Does Ramsey County Mental Health Center treat people in Spanish?
Yes. They treat people in Spanish. Confirm it for the first appointment specifically, because in Saint Paul that can depend on who is rostered that day.
Is there a program at Ramsey County Mental Health Center for people like me?
They offer a program for veterans, which is worth confirming on the call rather than assuming. A named program and one with a place free this month are different things, and Saint Paul has 8 other centers to ask.
Do I have to stop my prescriptions?
The list comes with you and gets reviewed. Nothing on it should change on a policy rather than a prescription. Where a program has no prescriber of its own, what you take stays with whoever already manages it. Ask whether the program has its own prescriber or works with yours.
Can I do a shorter program?
Expect days for withdrawal management, weeks for a residential program, and months for anything outpatient. The first two weeks are usually the most intensive part of whatever you choose. Ask how many hours of treatment a day the length actually contains.
