About Avera Medical Group Behavioral Health Clinic – Sioux Falls
In Sioux Falls, South Dakota, the Avera Medical Group Behavioral Health Clinic provides all-encompassing addiction treatment services for adults and teens. Free parking is right out front. They offer a variety of services such as assessments for chemical dependency, individual and family therapy as well as different group sessions catered to each person’s needs.
They use a broad range of care levels in their approach from intensive outpatient programs to pain management and relapse prevention to early intervention. It’s simple to start treatment without a referral for a chemical dependency assessment.
Following your evaluation, a therapist will help you choose the best course of action whether that means outpatient or inpatient residential treatment. Physical, emotional, social and spiritual aspects of treatment are all addressed in accordance with the American Society of Addiction Medicines criteria.
They ensure that you’re at the center of all treatment decisions by collaborating closely with your primary care physician. They’ll work in tandem to provide any needed medication. Some of their providers specialize in neuropsychology, dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT).
What really stands out are their different types of support groups. The STEPPs, STAIRWAYS & STRIDES group can offer DBT and a guided path upwards and away from addiction. There’s also specific groups for teens and pregnant women. That way, you’ll share support with your peers and benefit from each others’ experiences.
It’s also nifty that you can collab with your peers offsite. The Big Sioux River and Pasley Park aren’t too far away, and you can meet up, exercise, and unwind in the glory of nature. That way, you’ll have healthier ways to handle stress with your peers than to take drugs.
