South Dakota
State Addiction Rehab
Information
If you are looking to
overcome chemical
dependency - be it drugs or
alcohol - in the state of
South Dakota, Drug and Alcohol
Rehab Reference Center is
here to provide support and
advice at no cost or
obligation to you. Fill out
the form to the right and
we'll contact you to answer
your questions whether it's
for yourself or someone you
know.
The state of South Dakota
provides several drug and
alcohol rehab programs for
adults and adolescents. With
so many choices, one would
think it wouldn't be too
difficult to select a
program, but you would be
wrong. There are just about
as many drug rehab treatment
philosophies as there are
drug and alcohol rehab
centers.
Some programs do not offer
drug detox programs and thus
refer out for this addiction
treatment service. Others
believe addiction is a
disease forever leaving the
addict in a problem
stripping them of their
freedom of choice to
overcome addiction and
sentencing them to a
lifetime of alcoholism or
being a drug addict and
thus, opening the door to
relapse.
Another aspect of selecting
a drug rehab treatment
program is whether the user
should attend a program
close to home or not.
Sometimes selecting a
program far from home is key
to success especially when
choosing long-term inpatient
treatment programs. This
provides a "trigger-free"
environment which distances
the individual from negative
reinforcements for their
addictive behavior.
Drug and Alcohol Rehab
Reference Center's staff is
experienced in matching drug
rehab needs with the proper
facility. Not every South
Dakota
drug rehab program meets
every individual's needs.

South Dakota Drug Use
Information
|
|
According
to the DEA (U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration),
marijuana is readily available throughout South
Dakota. Multi-hundred pound quantities are
transported into the state from the southwest
border, Colorado, California, and Washington.
Cocaine is easily obtained throughout South Dakota
and has increased in availability during the past
couple of years. An area of concern is the Pine
Ridge Indian Reservation in southwestern South
Dakota. Even with the proliferation of
methamphetamine in the area, cocaine remains the
drug of choice in many areas on this reservation and
is readily available.
Heroin is typically available only in personal use
quantities in South Dakota.
The majority of methamphetamine available in the
Sioux Falls area appears to be distributed by
long-time Caucasian residents and Mexican drug
traffickers that are attempting to shield themselves
from law enforcement detection within the area's
growing Hispanic communities. Methamphetamine
continues to be a drug of choice in the Rapid City
area and is increasingly available. Almost all
methamphetamine seized locally is now "ice"
methamphetamine, but purity levels frequently fall
below 90% and usually range from 50-80%.
Diversion of OxyContin® and hydrocodone products
continues to be a problem throughout South Dakota.
Primary methods of diversion being reported are
“doctor shopping”(going to multiple doctors to
obtain prescriptions for controlled
pharmaceuticals), forged prescriptions, and phony
call-ins. Codeine, Darvocet-N, Alprazolam and
lorazepam were also identified as being among the
most commonly abused and diverted pharmaceuticals in
South Dakota. |

parent wants to believe that
they raised an addict or an
alcoholic. Emotions can
range from apathy to anger
and most feel powerless.
But something can be done.
The worst thing to do is
nothing. Do not wait until
it is too late.

Prescription Drug Abuse
|
|
 Prescription
drug abuse means taking a
prescription medication that is not
prescribed for you, or taking it for
reasons or in dosages other than as
prescribed. Abuse of prescription
drugs can produce serious health
effects, including addiction.
According to the Office of National
Drug Control
Policy, abuse of prescription drugs
to get high has become increasingly
prevalent among teens and young
adults. Past year abuse of
prescription pain killers now ranks
second—only behind marijuana—as the
Nation's most prevalent illegal drug
problem.
There are three classes of
prescription drugs that are most
commonly abused:
•opioids such as codeine, oxycodone,
and morphine;
•central nervous system (CNS)
depressants such as barbiturates and
benzodiazepines;
•stimulants such as
dextroamphetamine and
methylphenidate
Physically, drugs have three basic
effects on the body. Either the drug
is a stimulant which gives the body
a feeling of being “high” or
energized; it can be a depressant
where it gives the body a feeling of
being calm or even sleepy; or a drug
can distort the senses.
In a recent USA Today article on the
prevalence of prescription drug
abuse, Leonard Paulouzzi of the
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention was quoted as saying,
"prescription drugs cause
most of the more than 26,000 fatal
overdoses each year." In the same
article, Laxmaiah Manchikanti, chief
executive officer and board chairman
for the American Society of
Interventional Pain Physicians.
said, "About 120,000 Americans a
year go to the emergency room after
overdosing on opioid painkillers." |
