If you or a loved one needs rehab treatment, but cost is a problem, the CCDTF may be able to help.
The Chemical Dependency Consolidated Treatment Fund offers financial assistance to St. Paul residents who are eligible. But most CCDFT treatment admissions are referred by social services or criminal justice agencies – which is a problem. The low number of self and family referrals indicates that not enough people know about this option.
Minnesota has fewer people in treatment than other states, so we need to get the word out about any programs, such as the CCDTF, that can remove barriers to treatment.
