The Rule 25 Assessment in Hennepin County is essentially a therapist-patient meeting where a 16-page standardized form (the Rule 25) is filled out during the meeting. It is a lengthy interview that inquires on a lot of information about your past alcohol and drug use, physical health, mental health, your interest in moderating or quitting alcohol/drug use, and the problems your substance use has caused. The state of Minnesota ( MN ) created and promotes the form and requires statewide treatment centers to have a completed Rule 25 on file prior to a person starting alcohol or drug treatment. Assessor’s Recommendation are at the end of the form. The Recommendation includes items such as refrain from problematic alcohol consumption or abstain altogether and/or to attend education classes or intensive treatment.
Because Assessor’s Recommendations vary wildly from Assessor to Assessor, it is essential you meet with a private Assessor unaffiliated with treatment programs to help ensure that you get the most fair, unbiased Recommendations based upon your wants and needs.
