Avera Addiction Care Center

Using alcohol as a coping mechanism, or drinking excessively throughout the week, signals an alcohol use disorder.

Drug addiction is the excessive and repetitive use of substances, despite harmful consequences to a person's life, health, and relationships.

A combination of scientifically rooted therapies and treatments make up evidence-based care, defined by their measured and proven results.

Providers involve family in the treatment of their loved one through family therapy, visits, or both–because addiction is a family disease.

Individual care meets the needs of each patient, using personalized treatment to provide them the most relevant care and greatest chance of success.

Incorporating spirituality, community, and responsibility, 12-Step philosophies prioritize the guidance of a Higher Power and a continuation of 12-Step practices.

Patient and therapist meet 1-on-1 to work through difficult emotions and behavioral challenges in a personal, private setting.

Visual art invites patients to examine the emotions within their work, focusing on the process of creativity and its gentle therapeutic power.

Based on the idea that motivation to change comes from within, providers use a conversational framework to discover personalized methods for change.

This method combines treatment with education, teaching patients about different paths toward recovery. This empowers them to make more effective decisions.

12-Step groups offer a framework for addiction recovery. Members commit to a higher power, recognize their issues, and support each other in the healing process.

Two or more people meet with a therapist together. Patients get valuable peer support, strengthen interpersonal skills, and improve self-awareness.
