About Avera Medical Group Family Health Center — Marion Rd

Avera Medical Group Family Health Center is a comprehensive medical center in Sioux Falls, South Dakota that is a primary care provider with a behavioral health component. The behavioral health center provides a wide range of mental health services, but especially works to support people in the surrounding rural communities as well as pregnant and elderly people. 

Sioux Falls is a major metropolitan center in South Dakota. You can visit green spaces such as Marion Park and Sertoma Park for some serenity during your recovery. Meanwhile, there are plenty of shopping centers, dining and community amenities in the region. Likewise, Avera Medical Group works with a variety of local community resources which can help you as you plan your aftercare strategy.

 

Outpatient Therapy Without Intensive Addiction Programs

Because AMG is a medical clinic, behavioral health services are offered on an outpatient basis. At this facility, you can receive evaluation and diagnostic services along with treatment inclusive of dual diagnosis support. However, this facility does not directly provide detox services or more extensive treatment plans such as residential rehab or intensive outpatient programs (IOPs). 

If you feel that you need more structured support, then AMG can provide referrals for detox, rehab, and other dedicated addiction treatment services.

 

Holistic Support for Mind and Body

AMG is a large network of care providers. So, if necessary, you can receive care for your medical and mental wellness through their services. Similarly, if specialists are required, the network’s wide range of service providers means that you have options when the time comes. This includes access to diagnostic and imaging services.

AMG accepts most major insurance plans, Medicaid and Medicare, and even offers private pay options. For assistance, you can work with the patient care advocates here who will help you determine how to manage your costs.

I went at 3:30 on a weekday afternoon for a first visit. There were no other patients to wait behind so I was greeted immediately by the nurse. Was only there for 40 minutes all in, and that included filling out new patient paperwork and making a stop at the lab on the way out. Not sure when the building was constructed but it still has a very new look and feel. The ladies behind the desk could use a little personality but we're otherwise helpful and friendly enough.

This Google posting should not be under the urgent care listings. 12 noon, the posting said it was open unlike all other "urgent care". Drove across town only to find out there is no "urgent care" until 5pm. There's an ER and a whole roster from both the family care and internal Med that are fully and totally and irrevocable booked solid.

Other Forms of Payment

Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.

Financial aid can take many forms. Centers may have grants or scholarships available to clients who meet eligibility requirements. Programs that receive SAMHSA grants may have financial aid available for those who need treatment as well. Grants and scholarships can help you pai for treatment without having to repay.

Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.

Military members, veterans, and eligible dependents have access to specific insurance programs that help them get the care they need. TRICARE and VA insurance can help you access low cost or no cost addiction and mental health treatment. Programs that accept military insurance often have targeted treatment focused on the unique challenges military members, veterans, and their families face.

Medicare is a federal program that provides health insurance for those 65 and older. It also serves people under 65 with chronic and disabling health challenges. To use Medicare for addiction treatment you need to find a program that accepts Medicare and is in network with your plan. Out of pocket costs and preauthorization requirements vary, so always check with your provider.

Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

outpatient iconOutpatient

Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.

inpatient iconInpatient

Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.

aftercare iconAftercare Support

Rehab aftercare programs provide robust continuing care for clients in outpatient rehab and those who have been discharged from formal treatment. These programs address addiction disease as a chronic condition and recovery as a life-long process requiring ongoing client support. Clients in drug rehab aftercare receive a wide variety of services, often including peer coaching, relapse prevention support, and 12 step program induction. Case managers and care teams typically collaborate on the client's long-term care plan.

24-hour icon24-Hour Clinical Care

To manage withdrawal symptoms from alcohol and drugs, it is important to seek 24-hour clinical care in South Dakota. Medical personnel can monitor your symptoms and provide appropriate support with clinical treatment, medications, and emotional support. This is much safer and more comfortable than at-home detox, where medical staff are not on-site to quickly respond if withdrawal symptoms become severe or life-threatening.

Treatments

The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.

Support provided by drug rehab in South Dakota includes social, physical, and emotional aspects. Program participants learn how to meet needs in each of these areas without turning to drugs. The goals of the program are freedom from drug dependency and long-term recovery.

Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.

A combined mental health and substance abuse rehab has the staff and resources available to handle individuals with both mental health and substance abuse issues. It can be challenging to determine where a specific symptom stems from (a mental health issue or an issue related to substance abuse), so mental health and substance abuse professionals are helpful in detangling symptoms and keeping treatment on track.

Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.

Programs

adult-program thumbnail image

Adult Program

Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.

LGBTQ Program

Recovery is most successful when clients feel accepted and validated by their peers and treatment providers. Facilities that offer LGBTQ-inclusive programming are committed to creating a safe space where everyone can grow and recover without fear of judgment or discrimination. They will have dedicated policies in place to create a safe and supportive environment that fosters free expression.

Clinical Services

The core concepts of cognitive behavioral therapy in South Dakota are that patterns of thoughts and behaviors are linked and that they can be changed. Treatment involves identifying negative patterns and learning how to change them into positive ones.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a modified form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a treatment designed to help people understand and ultimately affect the relationship between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. DBT is often used for individuals who struggle with self-harm behaviors, such as self-mutilation (cutting) and suicidal thoughts, urges, or attempts. It has been proven clinically effective for those who struggle with out-of-control emotions and mental health illnesses like Borderline Personality Disorder.

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.

Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.

Whether a marriage or other committed relationship, an intimate partnership is one of the most important aspects of a person's life. Drug and alcohol addiction affects both members of a couple in deep and meaningful ways, as does rehab and recovery. Couples therapy and other couples-focused treatment programs are significant parts of exploring triggers of addiction, as well as learning how to build healthy patterns to support ongoing sobriety.

EMDR is a therapeutic modality originally developed to help process trauma. In an EMDR session, a patient is prompted to undergo eye movements that mimic those of REM sleep. This is accomplished by watching a therapist's finger move back and forth across, or following a bar of light. The goal is repetitive sets of eye movements that help the brain reprocess memory, which can significantly reduce the intensity of remembered traumatic incidents. Associated memories can heal simultaneously, leaving patients significantly calmer, more stable, and more emotionally relaxed.

Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.

Experiential therapy is a form of therapy in which clients are encouraged to surface and work through subconscious issues by engaging in real-time experiences. Experiential therapy departs from traditional talk therapy by involving the body, and having clients engage in activities, movements, and physical and emotional expression. This can involve role-play or using props (which can include other people). Experiential therapy can help people process trauma, memories, and emotion quickly, deeply, and in a lasting fashion, leading to substantial and impactful healing.

Such an awesome service! I feel glad I was able to admit that I needed help and come over to a place like this to start recovery.

They do not pay attention to the symptoms you tell them you feel. After 5:00pm it becomes a simple Emergency Room, so if you are not ready for paying Emergency Room prices, then leave

My experience with the Avera Medical Group Family Health Center is positive. I have been a patient at this location since I moved back to South Dakota in 2024. The staff I have encountered are responsive, kind, great listeners, and helpful. I have nothing negative to say. I feel so lucky to have this clinic in my neighborhood with all of my imaging needs at the same location. It is so convenient. Parking is easy, and the building is easy to navigate with excellent signage.
