24/7 Detox Center
Substance use disorders are a chronic disease that result from biological, social and environmental factors. Addiction can be successfully treated. The Ramsey County Detoxification Center is a place that helps individuals safely manage symptoms of intoxication or withdrawal for drugs and alcohol, while providing counseling and support services that treat the whole person, not just their substance use. The Detox Center is not a detention center, correctional facility or law enforcement center.
The Detox Center is located in the 402 University Avenue East building. Staff can be reached at 651-266-4009.

The Chemical Health Unit provides drug and alcohol assessments for Ramsey County residents. The unit also is an access point for state-licensed, chemical dependency services. After the assessment, the Chemical Health Unit may refer people who are chemically dependent to group residential housing or other community programs.
To qualify for financial assistance to attend a chemical dependency program, a person must meet state income guidelines and clinical eligibility guidelines. For more information, call 651-266-4008.
