   • If you are eligible to complete your assessment at White Earth Substance Abuse, please call them at 1-800-950-3248, to set up your CUA.
   • If you have a pre paid health plan (Medica, Blue Plus, etc), private insurance (Blue Cross Blue Shield, etc) or eligible to receive a CUA through a veteran's service agency or another county agency, please call their customer service number to set up your CUA.
   • If you are a Becker County resident, and you are planning to complete your CUA with Becker County, please contact Nicole M. at 218-847-5628 extension 5346.

YOUR CUA MUST BE RECEIVED BY THE COURT PRIOR TO YOUR SENTENCING. It is your responsibility to make sure the proper agency gets that information to the Court.
