Care Coordination

Recovery from substance use is a deeply personal journey, but it doesn’t have to be traveled alone. For individuals and their families, Care Coordinators are there to provide support, guidance and resources to help navigate life’s challenges, improve quality of life, and find pathways to healing and resilience.

Navigating recovery can be overwhelming, but Care Coordination makes things easier. This free, confidential service assists South Dakotans with mapping out every aspect of their recovery. There may be additional costs associated with treatment, so always check with your provider or insurance to understand what is covered – but know that the focus is on making resources more accessible and less stressful.
