About Youth and Family Services Counseling Services
Youth and Family Services Counseling Services provides outpatient treatment and prevention counseling for youth and their families affected by substance use disorder in Rapid City, South Dakota. Their full range of services includes crisis intervention, assessment, counseling and case management. They focus on helping young people overcome behavioral challenges like addiction and mental issues.
Their outpatient substance use treatment focuses on helping you develop coping skills, prevent relapse and get a better grasp of your chemical dependence. Priority for these programs is given to pregnant women, women with dependent children and IV users.
You’ll first undergo assessment upon intake to help the therapist create tailored treatment plans that address your core needs. If you're having severe mental health or substance use crises their crisis intervention team will try to stabilize you before therapy.
You can expect to participate in a few hours of group therapy sessions weekly alongside individual and family therapy. These therapy sessions help you dig into the thoughts, feelings or habits behind your substance use. They promote symptom relief, effective communication, problem solving and personal growth. These are essential for maintaining a sober lifestyle and preventing relapse.
Family therapy is especially important for young people in recovery. This is because it provides a safe space to rebuild trust, improve communication and resolve conflict with your loved ones. This creates a supportive home environment that encourages accountability and can make a difference in your recovery.
Their therapy group includes seeking safety women’s groups where women in recovery can learn abuse and trauma coping techniques. You can also benefit from their mindfulness workshops as well as stress and anger management counseling. Learning how to manage emotions like anger without “using” is great for your recovery process.
The facility also offers equine therapy, domestic violence counseling and parenting classes. School based services are available for adolescents. Folks involved in the criminal justice system can benefit from their state accredited 12 hour DUI classes. Case management services may involve care coordination and linkage to community resources that support lasting recovery efforts. These include stable housing, vocational training/education and medical care.
