About Comunidades Latinas Unidas en Servicio (CLUES)

Comunidades Latinas Unidas en Servicio (CLUES) operates comprehensive outpatient addiction treatment through their Abriendo Caminos Behavioral Health Clinic, a certified community behavioral health clinic serving Minneapolis and statewide Minnesota locations. Established in 1981, CLUES has built a recovery community specifically designed for Latino families navigating substance abuse treatment and co-occurring mental health challenges.

The recovery center offers outpatient programs and intensive outpatient treatment for individuals with substance use disorders, co-occurring disorders, and trauma-related conditions. Their structured programming includes cognitive behavioral therapy delivered through both in-person sessions and telehealth options, allowing flexible access to ongoing recovery support. The facility's dual certification as both a community behavioral health clinic and Blue Ribbon Parents As Teachers affiliate demonstrates their comprehensive approach to family-centered aftercare.

CLUES integrates culturally responsive care throughout their addiction treatment programming, with multilingual Spanish and English staff providing services that honor Latino cultural values and experiences. President and CEO Liliana Letran-Garcia leads programming that addresses the unique barriers Latino families face in accessing traditional recovery services, creating an environment where cultural identity strengthens rather than complicates the recovery process.

The center serves young adults, men and women, court-ordered participants, and individuals with dual diagnosis conditions across their Minneapolis headquarters and satellite locations in St. Paul, Willmar, and Austin. Beyond substance abuse treatment, CLUES operates survivor advocacy services and family programming that connects participants to broader community resources. Their sliding scale payment options, Medicaid acceptance, and statewide service area make this recovery community accessible to Latino families regardless of insurance status or geographic location.
