About Human Service Agency
The Human Service Agency is located in Watertown, South Dakota. They offer services to children, adolescents, adults, veterans and families who are dealing with the challenges of substance use disorders and mental health conditions. This agency was previously called Lake Region Mental Health Center, which was founded in 1962. In 1974 they changed their name, and since then they have expanded with other locations and have offered multiple levels of care. They accept credit or debit card payments and offer sliding scale fees.
Their outpatient treatment program lasts six weeks with three group sessions a week. This provides flexibility by allowing you to get the healing you need while also working, spending time with family or continuing education.
What sticks out to me the most is the variety of programs and services they offer. These include relapse prevention, DUI classes and cognitive behavioral interventions for substance abuse (CBISA) treatment. You can also access aftercare, prevention programs, referrals and counseling. The road to recovery can feel challenging, but with their team of clinicians, personalized treatment plans, therapy and prevention programs, they can help you build a strong foundation for your recovery.
They also offer children and family services for you and your family to get the help and guidance you need. Interventions, family therapy, and case management are some of the services that will be available. This program can include school staff, child protection workers and the judicial system.
Their comprehensive assistance with recovery and empowerment (C.A.R.E) program is tailored for you or a loved one who is struggling with serious or severe mental health conditions. This program includes medication management, employment assistance, life skills development, medical care, budgeting and psychiatric services.
The city of Watertown offers a variety of activities and attractions you can check out, to spend time in self reflection or enjoy a healthy diversion between treatment sessions. They have art galleries, a waterpark, golf courses, luxury spas, parks, bowling alleys and a zoo.
