This location also provides immediate and short term crisis intervention services for folks with severe mental health and substance use disorders. You can access this service via phone or face to face 24/7 at their CORE Center. Their intervention team is trained to handle crisis assessments and provide stabilization for mental health, intoxication and detox issues right on site.
What’s especially cool is that they offer highly confidential, whole person and personalized treatment in a setting with low staff to patient ratio. Their residential treatment is provided at the Benedictine Center located on the Avera Sacred Heart Hospital Campus. Your treatment here may begin with medical detox after assessment and personalized treatment planning. Medical detox involves a carefully managed withdrawal procedure with 24/7 clinical monitoring by trained professionals. They may prescribe meds to better manage your withdrawal symptoms. This ensures a safe and comfortable withdrawal.
Their clinical team will assist your transition to inpatient rehabilitation when you’re stabilized and in good health. This 28 day program immerses you in over 30 hours of therapy sessions weekly with round the clock support by staff. The programming includes individual and group substance use education along with individual and group counseling. These may draw from evidence based models that encourage positive thoughts and behavioral patterns. The goal is to help you to address negative emotions that fuel behavioral challenges like substance misuse and to develop strong coping skills. They also offer family education, intervention, mental health support and wellness education. These all help in relapse prevention and sober living.
The program will incorporate medication for opioid use disorder if you’re struggling with opioid misuse. The facility also offers this technique as a standalone process. It uses meds approved by the FDA alongside counseling and behavioral therapies to support recovery. The meds ease withdrawal symptoms, reduce cravings and prevent accidental overdoses. Their medication for opioid use disorders programs involves assessments, education on addiction and recovery and personalized strategies to stay motivated and prevent relapse.
They also help with stress management and provide family support and case management services. The latter may involve care coordination and connection to community resources like medical care and housing. Their outpatient program is a step down option for continued support after more intensive treatment. It includes both individual and group counseling sessions. You’ll get support while learning tools to manage recovery and stay sober.
