About Human Service Agency – Watertown
The Human Service Agency (HSA) is a community support provider and behavioral health center that also offers outpatient addiction treatment for adults. The main building is located in Watertown, South Dakota and the Agency provides services that help clients set and achieve meaningful goals and live a productive life. They serve almost 3,000 people a year across three towns in South Dakota.
They provide help for those with chemical and gambling addictions using evidence based treatment methods and a comprehensive plan to address the needs of the whole person. They emphasize individualized care under the supervision of a multi disciplinary team comprised of a psychiatrist, psychologist, chemical dependency counselor, mental health counselor, a nurse and a social worker.
They have an intensive outpatient program that lasts six weeks and you’ll have group sessions three times per week, along with individual and family therapy. HSA also has unique additional programs to treat and support those struggling with addiction, including an intensive prevention program and Cognitive Behavioral Interventions for Substance Abuse (CBISA). You can also attend DUI classes here.
Along with addiction treatment they have a Children, Youth and Family Services Department to help with mental health issues using individual, family or couples counseling sessions. HSA’s mental health services use a unique system of care where they have you identify people you know who you want on your support team. This personal support team helps you reach your goals. Along with family and friends, your team may be made up of school personnel, child protection workers, court supervisors and/or Department of Corrections agents.
Mental health services can be delivered where you choose, whether that’s your home, an agency office, a school, or somewhere in public. What I really like about this treatment center is how they encourage you to build a support team in your life to help short and long term.
