Substance use disorder (SUD) reform was passed during the 2017 legislative session. Highlights of the reform package include moving the standards for substance use disorder treatment programs to statute and changing some standards to increase client-centered services, establishing a process for direct access to treatment via comprehensive assessment; a direction to seek federal approval to include comprehensive assessment, care coordination, peer support, and withdrawal management in the state’s Medicaid benefit set, and permitting direct reimbursement for SUD services provided by appropriately credentialed professionals.
In an effort to provide
ongoing communication about SUD reform, on August 3, 2017 the Department of Human Services, Alcohol and Drug Abuse Division
and Licensing Division began hosting ongoing, bi-weekly,
one hour WebEx broadcasts from 11:30-12:30 for partners
and providers to provide information about SUD reform. The next WebEx is on Location of Service. These are
broadcast only, and will be ongoing to implement the reform. We
will send an e-memo with WebEx login information prior to each WebEx.
Technical Support
You can join the WebEx starting at 10:30 a.m. to ensure that you can sign in to the WebEx and the teleconference audio. If you need technical support with signing into the WebEx or the teleconference, please email Jacob Owens at Jacob.owens@state.mn.us.

We are encouraging participants to review the SUD Reform e-memos and website resources available on the website prior to attending the WebEx's. These materials provide basic information that is helpful to understand reform and its implications. Broadcasts will allow participants to submit questions for clarification if what is presented is unclear, although complex or situation-specific questions that are submitted will be responded to through frequently updated FAQs and will be used to inform future WebEx content.
