LGBTQ Drug Rehab in South Dakota

Treatment rules and programs in South Dakota

Who oversees treatment

The Office of Licensing and Accreditation, part of the South Dakota Department of Social Services, accredits substance use disorder treatment programs, from prevention through residential detoxification levels of care.

Prescription monitoring

South Dakota's Prescription Drug Monitoring Program is run by the South Dakota Department of Health. It is an electronic database of controlled substance prescriptions that authorized prescribers and pharmacists can check.

Overdose Good Samaritan law

South Dakota has an overdose immunity law, SDCL 34-20A-111, that protects a person who needs medical help after a drug overdose from arrest or prosecution for drug possession or use when help is requested from law enforcement or EMS.

Featured drug treatment programs in South Dakota

Mental health and substance use together

Depression, anxiety and trauma often show up alongside substance use, and SAMHSA data show higher rates of mental illness among lesbian, gay and bisexual adults. Treating both at once usually works better than treating them separately.

If that sounds familiar, look at LGBTQ dual diagnosis treatment.

How drug rehab works

Drug rehab usually starts with an assessment and detox if needed, then moves into residential or intensive outpatient therapy. For opioid use disorder, medications such as buprenorphine, methadone or naltrexone are the standard of care. For meth and cocaine, there's no approved medication, so behavioral therapies like contingency management do most of the work.

The programs on this page report drug detox or medication treatment along with an LGBTQ program or group.

Cost and coverage

The cost of treatment depends mostly on the level of care, length of stay and your insurance. Residential care costs the most; outpatient therapy the least. Many programs on SAMHSA's directory accept private insurance, and some offer sliding-scale fees. See our insurance guides.
