Clue St Paul

About Clue St Paul – Saint Paul

Comunidades Latinas Unidas en Servicio (CLUES) is a community based non-profit organization in St. Paul, Minnesota. They’ve worked since 1981 to improve opportunities for Latinos. They welcome anyone from their local community who needs help with substance use disorders (SUD) or co-occurring mental health issues.
Though their St. Paul office does not directly provide addiction treatment they refer clients to their Abriendo Caminos Wellness and Prevention Center in Minneapolis for specialized care.

At their St. Paul location, they offer valuable programs like Es My Time and Familias Unidas. Es My Time helps people break free from tobacco addiction. This is an inclusive program open to anyone in the community regardless of ethnic background or sexual orientation.
Then there’s Familias Unidas, a free 12 week program that helps Latino families. The goal is to strengthen families and help them build stronger connections as a way to help kids avoid substance abuse or gang involvement.

Clients who need addiction treatment are referred to the Abriendo Caminos Wellness and Prevention Center which became a Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic (CCBHC) in May 2024. This means anyone who walks through the door regardless of their background or insurance can get the help they need.

Their outpatient treatment program is designed for adults and includes individual and group counseling. They offer services in both Spanish and English. Not only that but they honor cultural diversity including indigenous wisdom on wellness.

For adults struggling with chronic mental health issues, they offer Adult Rehabilitative Mental Health Services (ARMHS). You’ll get tools to help you manage mental health issues and feel more connected to others so you’re not facing everything alone.

They accept Medicare, Medicaid, Medical Assistance and several other private insurance plans. If you don’t have insurance then they offer sliding fee discounts. With their inclusive, culturally sensitive approach and commitment to providing care no matter what your financial situation is, CLUES St. Paul offers a supportive environment for recovery.

Levels of Care

Aftercare Support

Completing a drug or alcohol rehab program shouldn't spell the end of substance abuse treatment. Aftercare involves making a sustainable plan for recovery, including ongoing support. This can include sober living arrangements like halfway houses, career counseling, and setting a patient up with community programs like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA).

Medically Assisted Detox

Drug and alcohol addiction often takes a heavy toll on one's body. Over time, a physical dependence can develop, meaning the body physiologically needs the substance to function. Detox is the process of removing drugs and/or alcohol from the body, a process that can be lethal if mismanaged. Medical detox is done by licensed medical professionals who monitor vital signs and keep you safe, healthy, and as comfortable as possible as you go through detox and withdrawal.

Outpatient

Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.

Programs

Adult Program

Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.

LGBTQ Program

Recovery is most successful when clients feel accepted and validated by their peers and treatment providers. Facilities that offer LGBTQ-inclusive programming are committed to creating a safe space where everyone can grow and recover without fear of judgment or discrimination. They will have dedicated policies in place to create a safe and supportive environment that fosters free expression.
