About Anoka Metro Regional Treatment Center
Anoka Metro Regional Treatment Center is a state operated behavioral health hospital in Anoka, Minnesota providing secure inpatient psychiatric care for adults with highly complex needs. As Minnesota’s largest behavioral health facility, it serves adults from across the state who require intensive, medically monitored treatment that community hospitals cannot provide. The center specializes in stabilizing patients with co-occurring psychiatric and medical conditions, many of whom are civilly committed or involved in the criminal justice system.
Inpatient Behavioral Health Programs
Treatment begins with a referral to the facility’s Central Pre-Admissions Office, which operates 24/7 to screen patients from counties and courts, community hospitals and mental health providers statewide. Once admitted, adults receive secure inpatient care in a locked hospital environment designed to ensure safety and therapeutic progress, with an average length of stay around 90 days.
The center offers inpatient detox for substance use disorders alongside psychiatric stabilization, addressing dual diagnosis needs through evidence based therapies such as cognitive behavioral therapy. Clinical teams focus on managing challenging behaviors, coordinating medical and mental health care, and preparing patients for successful transition back to their communities.
