South Dakota Drug and Alcohol Intervention Counselors

South Dakota has nearly about 15,000 people with drug abuse problems and over 50,000 more who abuse or are addicted to alcohol. Despite these tens of thousands of residents who need help for their help for their substance abuse issues, just 7,000 actually enroll in a treatment program each year.

Another issue is the shortage of residential treatment beds in the state, which leaves most people seeking help to either settle for an outpatient program or leave South Dakota to find an inpatient center that fits their needs. One of the other main barriers is that friends and family members are unable to get their loved ones to agree to get help. This is where a professional interventionist comes in.

An intervention specialist works with both the addicts and their loved ones to help bring about a greater understanding of both the overall problem as well as potential solutions, starting with finding the right treatment center.
