The History of the Male Methamphetamine Treatment Program

By Brenda Boetel, Assistant Director

In 2003, the Detox Program at City/County Alcohol & Drug Programs (CCADP) was detoxifying a significant number of adult male and female clients, under the influence of methamphetamine drug use. As a result of these numbers, CCADP began a Methamphetamine 13-bed Residential Intensive Outpatient Treatment (IOP) Program in March of 2004. The treatment program was one of two meth-specific treatment programs in the state of SD. The program utilized the Cognitive/Behavioral Approach and was a co-ed, 15-hours per week residential treatment lasting approximately 6 weeks in duration. The program also offered a 2-week Post-Treatment phase to assist the client in community transition. The program offered 9 weeks up to one-year of Continued Care following successful completion of IOP. One-year outcome studies showed a 47% abstinence rate.

On September 6, 2005, the Division of Alcohol & Drug Abuse granted City/County Alcohol & Drug Programs a CSAT Treatment Enhancement Grant for Meth research in the amount of $280,000. The grant dollars would be used for treating adult males with a primary diagnosis of methamphetamine dependence at the Friendship House the first year. Matching monies from the DADA contract would be used to parallel female treatment at CCADP.

The Friendship House is currently in the second year of facilitating Meth treatment. Adult males are now court-ordered to the program for a period of one-year. The first 6 months of treatment offer structure and accountability through utilization of the research-based Matrix Model and Cognitive/Behavioral interventions. Day Treatment provides the first 8-weeks of residential treatment followed by the second 8-weeks of residential Intensive Outpatient treatment services. Clients are then transferred to a Low-Intensity Residential program for an 8-week period to assist client in transitioning back into the community. Clients are required to participate in random urinalysis testing. A 6-month outpatient treatment component offers client support through Continued Care services, a mentorship program and 12-step meetings to conclude the one-year program.
