Group therapy is a normal part of evidence-based treatment programs, and may be a part of inpatient treatment, outpatient care, or both. Topics include addiction education, sharing of experiences, and learning new skills.
Individual Therapy
It’s easy to feel isolated when you battle substance use, but individual therapy in South Dakota can give you a professional ally in overcoming the roots of addiction.
