Community Behavioral Health

Council of Substance Abuse Directors

The Council’s membership consists of 14 community-based chemical dependency/addiction treatment services providers. Acting together, in partnership with the State of South Dakota, CSAD represents a virtual statewide system of coordinated care. This group represents the “front-line” or initial point of contact for most persons in the state who seek comprehensive alcohol/drug prevention, treatment, or rehabilitation services.

Additionally, skilled professionals are available to assist schools, communities, community groups, clubs, organizations, to develop local drug and alcohol prevention efforts.

We believe:

No one wants to experience a problem with alcohol or other drugs. No one wants a family member, a friend, a loved one, a husband, or a wife to suffer through this daunting life experience.
Yet, despite the best of intentions, about 10% of South Dakotans will need help with just such a problem at some point in their lifetime.
The help people need can vary. One thing that is for certain: If you become dependent on a mood altering chemical, primary treatment and aftercare are likely the best allies. Family or individual counseling and treatment can be of critical assistance in repairing your life.
Years of experience and a significant body of research have taught us several key facts:
- Treatment can and does help people who are willing to work hard at change;
- Families are deeply affected by the problems associated with substance abuse problems;
- Family members can improve the quality of their lives, even if their loved one doesn’t recover;
- Chemical dependency is no respecter of age, sex, religion, race, or any other factors for that matter. It can and DOES happen to ALL of society; and
- Addictions are far less about moral character than they are about loss of control.
