Therapies

Cognitive Behavior Therapy
When you’re struggling with addiction in South Dakota, your actions and thoughts may not be rational. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) can help you challenge your thoughts and adjust your actions accordingly. CBT is a common part of evidence-based treatment programs and may be a part of inpatient treatment, outpatient care, or both. CBT can be empowering as you learn to manage your thoughts and emotions rather than being overwhelmed by them.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy
When you’re struggling with addiction in South Dakota, stressful situations can be a trigger. Dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) allows you to learn new coping strategies and build your confidence so you can make healthier decisions. DBT is a common part of evidence-based treatment programs and may be a part of inpatient treatment, outpatient care, or both.
Experiential Therapy
Many people benefit from experiential therapy in South Dakota because they are able to express their emotions and work through trauma in non-traditional ways. Experiential therapy is commonly part of inpatient or intensive outpatient treatment and may be used to help with skill-building, addressing trauma, and managing substance use triggers.
Family Therapy
Family involvement is woven into treatment at Summit Oaks Center, with family counseling offered to support youth in building healthy relationships and preparing for a successful return home.
Group Therapy
Youth at Summit Oaks Center participate in group-based interventions as part of the therapeutic milieu model, building social skills and healthy behaviors alongside peers in a supported environment.
Individual Therapy
Summit Oaks Center incorporates individual counseling sessions into its residential treatment for youth, helping each young person address behavioral and emotional needs within a structured, supervised setting.
Trauma Therapy
Sometimes addiction is a way to self-medicate and avoid how you feel about past traumatic events. Trauma-informed therapy can help you address these feelings and build a better life. Trauma-informed therapy sessions generally last 60 to 90 minutes and may include discussing a specific event, talking about emotional triggers, and learning emotional regulation and cognitive restructuring skills.
