Northeastern Mental Health Center

Outpatient

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.

Intensive Outpatient

Adults meet Monday through Wednesday, 9am to 12pm or 5:30 to 8:30pm. Teens meet Monday, Tuesday and Thursday.

12-Step

12 step programs are designed to address the root causes of addiction and to promote sustained recovery through peer support and personal growth. Participants receive one-on-one mentoring from a self-selected sponsor and engage in regular 12 step meetings, which are free, anonymous, open to the public, and available day and night in most communities. These programs deploy non-denominational spiritual precepts to support participants' self-compassion, personal accountability, and acceptance of that which cannot be changed.

Intervention Services

Intervention services help families plan drug interventions in South Dakota. These structured, loving confrontations are designed to encourage the person abusing substances to get crucial treatment. An intervention specialist can facilitate the intervention, educate everyone involved about addiction, and guide the family and individual to appropriate treatment. This can provide a seamless transition into an inpatient rehab program.

Aftercare 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.

Telehealth

Benefits of telehealth in South Dakota include cost efficiency, increased access, improved quality of care, and added convenience. Due to these benefits, telehealth options continue to expand. Services include both mental and medical health care.

Dual Diagnosis

The center serves people with mental health disorders and substance use disorders, and its services include identifying mental health needs and treating them.

Mental Health

Children, adolescents and adults can use group, family and individual sessions, and mental health care sits with substance use care.

Adult Program

Adults get a morning or evening intensive outpatient track on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, plus individual, family and group sessions. Adolescents have their own intensive outpatient hours.

Young Adult Program

Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.

Military Program

Serving in the military is both mentally and physically challenging, and can result in trauma that persists even after combat ends. Military programs are tailored to the specific and often complex needs of active duty personnel, veterans, and military families. Clients often access these programs through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy

Dialectical behavior therapy teaches you coping skills and problem solving. You'll learn how to manage your emotions and use your new skills to create healthier patterns of thought and behavior. Treatment typically lasts six months and includes individual and group sessions.

Group Therapy

Group counseling is available, and group therapy also runs by telehealth statewide. Assessments and individual sessions sit on that same telehealth list.

Individual Therapy

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.

Motivational Interviewing

Motivational interviewing involves an exchange of information between the client and therapist. Communication is a two way street that allows the client to explore the possibility of making changes and lets the therapist provide empathy and support. The therapist also guides the conversation to instill language that encourages change.

Trauma Therapy

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.

Couples Therapy

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.

Family Therapy

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.
