Dakota County and Guild , a statewide mental health service provider, debuted their new Crisis and Recovery Center , at Livingston Ave.
Paul, during a celebratory ribbon-cutting ceremony on Monday morning. The Crisis and Recovery Center serves adults in need of mental health care, services, treatment and short-term residency. Schug said. It includes 16 private bedrooms and adjoining bathrooms, two of which are ADA accessible, an onsite nurse, hour staffing and community spaces, along with other resources. The building is split into two service areas, urgent crisis response and short-term residential treatment.

Guild services, which include the private bedrooms used for temporary housing up to 90 days, are located on the north end of the entrance.
