Why South Dakota Residents Choose BetterChoice for Dual Diagnosis Treatment
South Dakota has historically had lower overdose rates than the national average, but methamphetamine use is a significant ongoing concern, particularly in Minnehaha and Pennington counties. Tribal communities in South Dakota face severe disparities in both addiction rates and treatment access.
South Dakotans often travel out of state for treatment to access residential programs with broader specialty capabilities, particularly dual-diagnosis psychiatric care, that are scarce within the state. The privacy of being far from small interconnected communities is also a meaningful factor.
Inpatient rehab — sometimes called residential treatment — is the highest level of addiction care short of hospitalization. This page explains what inpatient rehab actually involves, who benefits most, and what to expect from the experience at BetterChoice.
What South Dakota Residents Can Expect from Dual Diagnosis Treatment
You live at the facility 24/7 for the duration of treatment, typically 30-90 days. Days are structured around individual and group therapy, holistic programming, meals, and rest. The intensity is genuine but the setting is calm — most clients describe the rhythm as therapeutic in itself.
Our Clinical Approach
Inpatient rehab works because it does three things at once: it removes you from your environment, it provides intensive daily clinical work, and it builds the rhythms (sleep, food, exercise, peer support) that sustain long-term recovery. Our program does each of these well, in a setting that makes the experience easier to commit to.
