North Dakota Resources
North Dakota offers numerous state-funded programs such as Medicaid, medicare, and medi-cal for those that require coverage. They know that there is currently an epidemic that has to do with addiction and the recovery that is required.
North Dakota is finding that changing the stigma around addiction is challenging because they require new training and information on how to handle these types of situations. Due to this, the training material for those that are in the medical field is being changed. New recruits, and those already in the medical field are now going to be required to take this type of addiction training to reduce the number of deaths a person goes through.
There are resources provided below that offer more information to those that want or need help with their addiction. These resources are for those that have Medicaid, medicare or medi-cal coverages and not those with private insurances.
