Too many drunks in St. Cloud, or not enough beds?
Categories: Booze
The St. Cloud Times takes a look this morning at one of the unintended consequences of the closure of state hospitals in the 1980s: No empty detox beds at the Central Minnesota Mental Health Center for about a quarter of the days each month. The center serves Stearns, Benton, Sherburne and Wright counties.

The center is being renovated, and gaining three detox beds in the process. And a special facility for chronic inebriates is due to open later in the year in St. Cloud.
