CORRECTION ORDER

Dear Marlin Martin,

A licensing investigation of Valhalla Place Brainerd LLC dba BHG Brainerd Treatment Center, located at 2215 S 6th St, Brainerd, MN 56401, was conducted to determine compliance with state and federal laws and rules governing the provision of substance use disorder treatment services licensed under Minnesota Statutes 245G. As a result of this licensing investigation a Correction Order is being issued.

A. Reason for Correction Order

Pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, section 245A.06, if the Commissioner of the Department of Human Services (DHS) finds that an applicant or license holder has failed to comply with an applicable law or rule and this failure does not imminently endanger the health, safety, or rights of the persons served by the program, the Commissioner may issue a Correction Order to the applicant or license holder.

The following violation(s) of state or federal laws and rules were determined as a result of the licensing investigation. Corrective action for each violation is required by Minnesota Statutes, section 245A.06 and is hereby ordered by the Commissioner of Human Services.

Client File

1. Citation: Minnesota Statutes, sections 245A.65, subdivision 1a.

Violation: One client file was reviewed for requirements governing determination of vulnerable adult status (C1) and did not meet requirements. The license holder did not make a vulnerable adult determination within 24 hours of an incident that would have been required to be reported under Minnesota Statute, section 626.557, if the adult involved in the incident had been a vulnerable adult. The alleged allegation was reported to the license holder on September 2, 2023, and a vulnerable adult determination was not completed.

Corrective Action Ordered: Immediately and on an ongoing basis, the license holder must ensure determination of vulnerable adult status meets all applicable requirements.

Repeat Violation: The license holder was cited for a similar violation in an order of conditional license dated October 2, 2023.

If you fail to correct the violations specified in the Correction Order within the prescribed timelines the Commissioner may issue an Order of Conditional License or may impose a fine and order other licensing sanctions pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, sections 245A.06 and 245A.07.

B. Right to Request Reconsideration

If you believe any of the citations are in error, you have the right to request that the Commissioner of Human Services reconsider the parts of the Correction Order that you believe to be in error. The request for reconsideration must be in writing and received by the Commissioner within 20 calendar days after receipt of this report. Your request for reconsideration must be sent to:
