Generally, assessments must be scheduled several days in advance. To speed up the admissions process, please make an appointment now—even before submitting this application.  Complete the attached application and fax or mail it in to the location to which you are applying. If you are receiving assistance in completing this application, or want us to be able to talk to somebody else about your application, be sure to complete the attached “Release of Confidential Information” form. Phone: (612) 238-6500

Upon receipt of your application, an admissions representative will contact you and begin processing your application.
The length of the application process can vary from a couple of days to two weeks. In processing applications a
number of things are taken into consideration including: mental health, medical condition, past and present legal

Important Applicant Information:
 Applicants are required to have and will not be admitted without a photo identification and social security card. If you do not have these at the time of application please begin the process to receive them before admittance. We are able to help with that process if need be.  Applicants requiring detoxification must do so prior to entry.  MnTC is NOT a medical care facility; therefore, we do not provide clients with medication or onsite access to professional physical or mental healthcare providers. Applicants are required to enter the program with at least a 30
day supply of all currently prescribed medications (with the exclusion of prohibited meds).
 A physical examination is normally required prior to admission. Some applicants may be approved for admission prior to having a physical examination, provided they agree to have a physical immediately upon entering our program. Tests for HIV, STD’s, Tuberculosis and Hepatitis are required as part of the physical exam. Residents who enter the program without having a physical exam and those who do not have medical insurance will be charged $5 for a Tuberculosis test upon admission into the program.
Thank you again for your interest in our program. We look forward to the opportunity to help you in your recovery from
drug and alcohol addiction.

_____ Program Policies and General Information Twelve Steps to Recovery and
Voluntary Participation in Faith Based Activities
All traditional 12-Step treatment programs recognize the importance of spirituality as it relates to sobriety and recovery. The Minnesota Department of Human Services licenses various models of treatment, many in which faith plays a very active role. The MnTC program focuses on the Christian faith in the 12 steps of recovery. Step 1 – Admit we are powerless over our addiction – that our lives have become unmanageable.
Step 2 – Come to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.
Step 3 – Make a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understand God.
Step 4 – Make a searching and fearless moral inventory of yourself.
Step 5 – Admit to God, to ourselves and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.
Step 6 – Are entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.
Step 7 – Humbly ask God to remove our shortcomings.
Step 8 – Make a list of all persons we have harmed, and become willing to make amends to them all.
Step 9 – Make direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.
Step 10 – Continue to take personal inventory and when we are wrong promptly admit it.
Step 11 – Seek through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understand God, praying
only for knowledge of God’s will for us and the power to carry it out. Step 12 – Having had a spiritual awakening as a result of these steps, we try to carry this message to other addicts, and to
practice these principles in all our affairs. No provider of substance abuse services receiving federal funds from the U.S. Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration may discriminate on the basis of religion, a religious belief, a refusal to hold a religious belief, or a refusal to actively participate in religious practices. While involved with MnTC, if you choose to decline to participate in a particular religious activity please notify a program staff and an alternative activity will be provided for you. If at any point you object to the religious components of the program, please notify your counselor and/or program director and we will work with you to find a program that will better meet your needs. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ My signature below indicates that I have carefully considered the faith component of the program and have made an informed, free and independent choice to participate in the MnTC program. I also acknowledge that I have been provided with a referral list of other programs (both religious and secular) in the event that I object to the religious nature of the program and its activities. I have further been informed that I may ask for a copy of this list at anytime during the program. (THIS PAGE MUST BE RETURNED WITH THE APPLICATION)

Program Fee Information__
The majority of the residents in MnTC are eligible to have some or all of the program costs paid for by their county. To determine eligibility and apply for funding, applicants must contact their county social services agency and request a Rule 25 assessment prior to admission. If an applicant is determined to be ineligible for funding, fees must be paid for out of pocket. In the event that a resident leaves the program prior to completion, fees will be pro-rated so that residents are charged only for the days they are enrolled in the program. Residents are considered enrolled in the program even though they may be temporarily away from our facility due to emergency. Residents will be charged for the day they are admitted into the program but will not be charged for the day they are discharged. Residents are required to pay for the first 30 days of the program at the time of admission. The next payment is due on the 31st day of the program. PLEASE READ below if you will be receiving a
RULE 25 ASSESSMENT
 You have the right to request placement with a provider that will honor o “The placing authority must authorize chemical dependency treatment services that are appropriate to the client’s…religious preference…The placing authority maintains the responsibility and right to choose the specific provider” (Section 9530.6620, Sub point 9).  You have the right to request a specific provider, such as Minnesota o “The placing authority must consider a client’s request for a specific provider.

For further information, please see the Rule 25 Chemical Dependency Assessment and Placement Rules and Laws: July 1, 2008 Prohibited Medications

Due to their interference with the recovery process, Minnesota Teen Challenge prohibits the use of all addictive
medications and those medications that have the potential for abuse and dependence. Prospective residents that are
currently taking any of the listed medications need to check with their health care provider, prior to or soon after
admission, to determine if an appropriate alternate medication is available. Prospective residents are strongly
encouraged NOT to discontinue use of medication without first checking with the prescribing doctor or if admitted to
MnTC, talking with the onsite nurse. Certain prohibited medications, such as the benzodiazepines (Klonopin,
Ativan, Xanax, Valium), also Campral, and medication used to treat opiate addiction (suboxone, methadone,
subutex) require a gradual tapering off the medication rather than stopping it abruptly. In this case, the tapering
must be done under the supervision of a physician. The tapering can be done while you are in the program.
In the rare circumstance that an alternate is not available, Minnesota Teen Challenge is not an appropriate treatment
option and a referral list of other treatment programs in the area will be provided.
Examples of addictive medications include but are not limited to the following:
All Narcotic pain relievers and pain relievers with potential for dependence and abuse
Vicodin-(hydrocodone with acetaminophen)
Tylenol with Codeine (acetaminophen with codeine)
*Due to the highly addictive nature of narcotic pain relievers and their potential to undermine the program
participants’ recovery efforts and mindset, prescriptions written for these medications, following a surgery or
injury, are not permitted while in MnTC. MnTC nursing staff will work with residents and their health care
providers to find other non-narcotic pain relievers that are permitted examples include ibuprofen and naproxen.
All medications used for the treatment of opiate dependence
, e.g. Methadone, Suboxone, Subutex, Naltrexone
All barbiturates,
including those combined with acetaminophen, caffeine or aspirin e.g. Fiorocet, Fiorinal
