Addiction Recovery Services
Assessment
We offer substance use evaluations for adolescents and adults, to determine if the individual needs further assistance with their substance use. Walk-in assessments are available every Wednesday before 9 a.m. Assessments are also offered Monday through Friday by appointment.
Inpatient Chemical Dependency Treatment
We work with youth ages 12 to 18 years with alcohol or chemical addictions for up to 60 days. The addiction causes a negative impact on an adolescent's physical, mental, social, vocational, intellectual, emotional and spiritual development. Our chemical dependency treatment program is integrated into the Volunteers of America, Dakotas residential program.
At our residence, we provide a developmentally-appropriate environment in which youth can internalize and practice knowledge, insight and skills. This environment ensures the best opportunity for a young person's ongoing success. The residential environment also provides youths with an opportunity to interact with peers without a treatment focus, just as they would in the community. Volunteers of America, Dakotas provides each young person with a chemical dependency counselor who develops a comprehensive treatment plan focusing on chemical dependency issues as well as behavioral or mental health issues.
