MINNESOTA FAST TRACKER:

The Minnesota Fast Tracker system is a great resource that links people to mental health and substance use services with real time availability. Visit https://fasttrackermn.org/ to get started.

CRISIS RESPONSE:

Crisis Response services are available 24/7 to anyone, anywhere within the 10-county area of southeastern Minnesota — regardless of their ability to pay. You can access help through the 24/7 hotline (1-844-274-7472) and new 24/7 walk-in crisis center, the Southeast Regional Crisis Center.

988 LIFELINE:

When people call, text, or chat 988, they will be connected to trained counselors that are part of the existing Lifeline network. These trained counselors will listen, understand how their problems are affecting them, provide support, and connect them to resources if necessary.

MEDICATION ASISSITED TREATMENT:

When people make a recovery plan that includes medication for opioid use disorder (OUD), their chance of success increases. Medications can effectively treat OUD’s, and reduce the risk of overdose and death. Learn more
