Outpatient care in Minnesota
Outpatient care in Minnesota
MINNESOTA
Reaching out is often the hardest part when you have substance use or mental health concerns. Blue River Behavioral Health is here when you have questions about outpatient treatment for substance use, a mental health condition, or both. Our admissions team meets you with a real conversation. The same holds whether you're calling for yourself or for someone you love. Referral sources are welcome too.
You do not need an appointment to call. Blue River's team answers questions about levels of care, insurance, and what happens next, even before you decide on anything. The same number covers questions about PHP, IOP, OP, or virtual programming, as well as referral checks from providers.
Prefer writing it out first? Fill in the short form below. A member of our team follows up. Every message stays confidential, and nothing you share here becomes part of a medical record unless you move forward with treatment. If you would rather talk it through first, call instead and skip the form.
Your message stays confidential. We do not sell or share your information.
Insurance and Coverage
Blue River accepts all insurance plans, including out-of-network benefits. Cost questions keep many adults from calling. We answer those first.
Share your plan details, and our admissions team contacts your insurer. Then we explain what your plan covers in plain language. Nothing you share commits you to anything.
No obligation. We never quote costs before your benefits are checked.
Our admissions coordinator starts by listening to what's going on with you right now. We encourage you to ask about program options, timing, or whatever is on your mind. If you'd rather sort out insurance before anything else, just say so, and we'll start there instead. Either way, calling us is free and doesn't commit you to anything.
If you choose to move forward, here's what comes next:
1
Your insurer confirms your coverage before anything begins.
2
You decide to move forward, in writing, before any clinical work starts.
3
Your team builds a full picture of your history.
4
Your therapist uses that picture to build a plan around you.
5
We confirm any medication needs, including Medication-Assisted Treatment when it fits your situation.
Each step moves forward only when you say yes. If you ever have any concerns or further questions, let us know. We want you to feel comfortable and have all the information you need.
Adults 18 and older are welcome to contact us directly for themselves. Family members can also call for someone close to them. We also hear from therapists and case managers looking for an outpatient referral. Hospital staff also reach out when a patient needs a step down from a higher level of care.
You do not need a diagnosis before you call. Some people contact Blue River Behavioral Health with one specific question, like what insurance plans we accept or whether virtual sessions would work better for you. Others just want to know if outpatient care makes sense at all. Either way, you are connected with someone who actually answers.
Contact Blue River Behavioral Health for yourself, or on behalf of a family member who's looking into outpatient programs. Our team is here and ready to talk whenever you are. Call us today, send a message, or verify your insurance, whichever feels like the right first step.
Confidential. No obligation.
These are the questions people ask most before their first call or message. If yours is not here, our admissions team can answer it directly.
(612) 614-0964Yes. Tell us the safest way to reach you, such as a different phone number, a specific time of day, or email instead of a call. Your admissions coordinator works around what keeps the conversation private for you.
The same phone number and message form work for referrals, and naming yourself as a referral source helps our team prioritize the callback. Include your client's name only with their consent. Otherwise, leave it out, and we will follow up once we hear from them directly.
We do not quote costs or copays over the phone or in a first message, since every plan works differently. Once we verify your coverage, an admissions coordinator walks you through what your specific plan covers in plain terms, before you decide on anything.
Yes. Contacting us starts a new needs assessment built around your situation now, regardless of what happened with an earlier provider. Share as much or as little about that earlier step as you're comfortable with.
Not without your written consent, even though they were the one who first reached out. Federal privacy law protects your information once you become a client, so a spouse, parent, or partner only gets updates if you authorize it yourself.
Yes. Naming both from your first message helps our team point you toward dual diagnosis care right away. You will not need a diagnosis or clinical language, just a plain description of what's going on.
