About Volunteers of America, Dakotas – Sioux Falls
In Sioux Falls, in South Dakota, the Volunteers of America Dakotas is a non-profit organization that has committed itself to providing drug and alcohol addiction and aftercare services to adult women and adolescents experiencing substance addictions.
The New Start Program for Women that they offer is a specialized residential program aimed at women who are pregnant, single mothers, and women living with co-occurring substance use disorders. I feel that the facility’s letting children stay with their mothers while receiving treatment is a good thing. This allows pregnant individuals and mothers to focus on their recovery without having to worry about their care, permitting better sobriety results.
An interesting treatment offered by the facility is its moral recognition therapy. If you enroll, you can expect to undergo therapy involving a 12 Step focus. Depending on your needs, you might also be encouraged to partake in its intensive outpatient substance abuse treatment program. It involves counseling and skill development to gain the required skills to begin and maintain a sober lifestyle.
What I found essential to my full recovery is that during my treatment, the Volunteers of America Dakotas offered additional services that helped me gain essential skills to integrate into society. I found its learning parenting, child and self-care, independent living, and relationship skills classes particularly helpful.
Their aftercare program is great for ensuring you have the support you need even when you have successfully completed your substance treatment. The aftercare service offers you continued care, counseling, and peer support.
