Chemical Dependency Assessments

Stearns County Human Services provides chemical use assessments (sometimes referred to as “Rule 25 assessments”) for persons seeking to know if they are drug or alcohol dependent and what treatment options are available.

Generally, chemical use assessments are requested by persons seeking a public funding source for chemical dependency treatment (e.g., persons who do not have sufficient insurance coverage for treatment or who cannot afford to pay privately).

The public funding source in Minnesota is known as the Consolidated Chemical Dependency Treatment Fund (CCDTF). County staff determine if a person is eligible for treatment services paid for through this fund.

Stearns County Human Services also functions as a referral point for judicial commitment of persons deemed in need of involuntary treatment for chemical dependency under Minnesota Statute 253B  - the “Minnesota Commitment and Treatment Act."

For more information, or to make a referral for services, contact our office at 320.656.6000 or 1.800.450.3663.

Additional information about publicly funded services for persons with disabilities can be found on the Minnesota Department of Human Services website.
