Community, Mental Health, and Other Resources<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Very often criminal charges are related to, or the result of, challenges in one\u2019s life, including mental health struggles, drug addiction, or strife at home. It is common for people to need extra help or services to address their problems. This can benefit them in the criminal legal process in multiple ways. For example, if you have unaddressed anger, you may have gotten in trouble for assault or threats. Getting some therapy for any of your own unresolved issues can help improve the results of your case.<\/p>\n

Below you\u2019ll find a list of resources compiled by Catherine over the years. This is by no means an exhaustive list of programs available in the metro area or greater Minnesota, but it\u2019s a place to start. Some of these places or programs have provided services for previous clients. Some were recommended by other attorneys or colleagues in the criminal legal process. Please take advantage of these services if they can provide you with needed help.<\/p>\n

Chemical Assessments & MI\/CD Treatment Options<\/h2>\n

Unfortunately drug abuse and chemical dependency can often lead to criminal charges, everything from DWI to drug possession, to theft or fraud. A large percentage of cases that go through the criminal legal process are a result of, or related to substance use disorders. If you or a loved one is in trouble because of or related to a substance use issue (drinking or drug abuse), it is important to get assessed and enter treatment or programming right away. Not only with this hopefully lead to genuine help and recovery, it will also benefit in you in court and can affect the outcome of your case.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve been charged with a criminal offense related to or because of substance abuse, it is recommended that you get a chemical dependency evaluation<\/strong> also known as a chemical use assessment<\/strong> or often in Minnesota counties you\u2019ll hear it be called a Rule 25 evaluation<\/strong>. Known by a few names, the idea is the same: It is an assessment of whether you have a problem with substances, and recommends treatment or programming depending on what your needs are. The assessor will talk to you about what kinds of chemicals you use (alcohol, marijuana, for example), how often you use them, and what effect the use is having on your life. Based on your answers, the recommendations can very from none at all, to intensive in patient treatment, and anywhere in between.
\nBelow please find a list of programs, providers, and centers that provide chemical dependency resources, including chemical dependency evaluations<\/strong>. This is not an exhaustive list and can always be improved or expanded. But it\u2019s a good place to start. Many of these programs have been recommended by former clients. Being on the list does not constitute an endorsement, just acknowledgement that it exists and is available. One or more of these providers may work for you. Many of these programs also have Mental Health components because often mental health and substance use problems go together.<\/p>\n

Treatment is a very personal experience, so it is recommended that you get all the details before you sign up a for a program. You can always try something else. However the most important thing is that when you finally start the right program, that you finish it. Recovery is a process, and finishing a program shows a Court that you\u2019re taking your commitment to sobriety seriously. That can really impact your case.<\/p>\n
