SOUTH DAKOTA ALCOHOL & DRUG FACTS:
"Myth: Drugs are a bigger problem than alcohol.
Alcohol kills more young people than cocaine, heroin, and every other illegal drug combined.
Eighteen million Americans are addicted to alcohol or have alcohol abuse issues. Alcohol
is the No. 1 drug problem of today's youth."

Family Interventions |
|
|
|
| |
As an organization and as a clinical team, we believe having peer support is one of the fundamental
 prerequisites to sobriety. If at all possible, and if it is in the best interest of the person, we
try to encourage and facilitate a family/friend/community professional intervention for all the people
admitted into any one of our services, such as: Outpatient, Meth Treatment,
Residential Custodial Care,
Continued Care, and Detox. We do this not only for collaborative information, but also to identify and
address presenting family and/or personal issues other than substance use, such as communication
barriers, legal matters, marital problems, job placement, and parenting concerns.
Our goal has always
been to keep the family intact and functional to the best of everyone's abilities and reinforce to
the person participating in the program that they are not alone in their struggle to overcome their
addiction. |
|
Each counselor has a particular style of intervention, however, the goal in every intervention to
provide a safe, respectful, and productive environment, as well as giving everyone an opportunity
to express/explain his or her thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Many times an intervention includes;
providing education on substances, explaining the legal process of treatment placement, developing a
realistic plan of success, and/or making an appropriate referral to an outside agency. |
