About West River Mental Health
West River Mental Health operates the Full Circle program at its Mainstream Campus in Rapid City, South Dakota on the edge of the Black Hills. I immediately notice how deeply tied to the community this facility is, serving the region since 1948.
West River offers a wide range of programming across five locations, including outpatient counseling, psychiatric care, crisis intervention, and community based mental health programs for children, adults and families.
Full Circle and Family Centered Recovery
The Full Circle residential program, in particular, stands out among addiction treatment centers because it welcomes mothers with children from newborn to age 10. That’s not something commonly available in inpatient drug and alcohol rehab settings.
I like that treatment here includes trauma focused care, parenting skills, job readiness, and hands on help with reunification and housing, not just substance abuse counseling.
Access, Affordability, and Real World Support
What stands out to me the most about Full Circle is how practical and personal this program feels. Past clients mention the ability to stay with their children as a turning point in recovery, allowing them to rest and rebuild without stepping away from their roles as parents. West River accepts Medicaid, Medicare, and other public funding options.
