Treatment or retreat? The future of addiction care in Minnesota

Minnesota has developed innovative and successful treatment options for people struggling with substance use disorder. But as Medicaid cuts loom, providers worry the patients most in need of affordable and effective treatments will be among the first to lose access. Join Andy Steiner, MinnPost’s mental health and addiction reporter, and Katy Armendariz, founder of St. Paul’s Roots Wellness Center, for a conversation about the future of addiction treatment in the state. Andy’s recent reporting on the topic is supported by the Pulitzer Center StoryReach U.S. fellowship.

Please note that due to the content of this MinnPost Social, we will not be serving alcoholic beverages at the event. There will still be lively refreshments and non-alcoholic drinks provided.

This lively session is part of our MinnPost Social event series, presented by Darla Kashian — RBC Wealth Management and Great River Energy, in which MinnPost journalists share insights with audience members in a casual atmosphere.
