Overview
Radias Health provides community-based behavioral health services in the Twin Cities for adults and youths, including mental health, substance use treatment, and housing support. It follows a Full Circle of Care model that combines mental and physical health care, medications, and housing services, with programs like ACT, targeted case management, outpatient therapy, medication management, crisis residential treatment, and supportive housing. Its edge comes from being a large nonprofit offering an integrated continuum and centralized Central Access for easy referrals, with a focus on housing stability and care for co-occurring disorders. The goal is to improve overall well-being by delivering accessible behavioral health and housing services that help people recover, stay housed, and lead healthier lives.
