SOUTH DAKOTA ALCOHOL & DRUG FACTS:
"Alcohol influences balance, coordination, and judgment, and its effects are
heightened by sun exposure and heat (Smith and Kraus 1988). Alcohol was involved in about
one-third of all reported boating fatalities."

City/County Alcohol and Drug Programs Intensive Outpatient Treatment is approximately an 18-session,
open-ended group program, along with individual counseling, that meets Monday through Thursday from
5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. The evening treatment program hours are designed to help clients continue with
employment, remain integrated with their families and society, while receiving intens-ive treatment
for their addictions. In cases where clients may need a more secure structure and a safer environment,
free of alcohol and drugs, clients may live at the treatment facility and still continue to work.
State funding is available for clients who meet State indigent guidelines.
The program focuses primarily on the managed-care of individual client's strengths, needs and problems
that are associated with addictions so that each client can meet their goals for successful living
without the use of alcohol and drugs. The program will educate people about the physical, emotional,
mental and spiritual aspects of a person's life when afflicted with chemical dependency disease.
Intense education is taught to each client on how to recognize and prevent a relapse process from
occurring, as well as how to use healthy tools to build a stronger foundation for sobriety. Treatment
includes a six-hour family program component that educates the family members on the disease concept,
and the roles that family members engage in while living with an addicted person. Family counseling
is available when necessary.
Respect and confidentiality for each client is highly honored at City/County Alcohol and Drug Programs.
Helping clients learn how to regain control back in their lives, build a higher level of self-esteem and
teaching clients how to begin feeling good about themselves without the use of alcohol and illicit drugs,
is the heartfelt goal from this program and the staff at City/County Alcohol and Drug Programs.
A TB test is needed to get a start date.
