Abstract:
In the state of South Dakota, there are 39 accredited substance abuse providers who service over 11,000 individuals each year. Knowledge of which substance abuse providers are accredited is important for families looking to find financially affordable substance abuse treatment/care for their loved ones. In order to begin the process of entry into a substance abuse treatment program, an adolescent must first complete a needs assessment with one of the accredited providers. The needs assessment will help to identify the severity of the substance use disorder as well as identify the appropriate level of treatment/care for the individual.
