Partial Hospitalization Or Day Treatment in South Dakota

Finding the right partial hospitalization/day treatment program in South Dakota can make a difference between long term recovery and continued care in the long term. To be able to locate the right type of program for you, it is recommended that you:

• Find a program that has a relatively high staff to patient ratio, because this would mean that there will be more professionals available to help you receive the personalized attention that you need
• Find a program that uses the approaches to treatment that you believe would work most effectively for you
• Get into a program that is closer home so that you can have an easier time accessing the center and seeking help from it which could increase your chances of not missing your treatment sessions
• Look for a program that has a team of highly qualified and trained staff
• Look for a program that has been accredited by the local substance abuse agency, the National Committee for Quality Assurance (or NCQA), the Joint Commission, or the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (or CARF)
• Read online reviews written by other people who went through the program to see what they have to say about their personal experiences

The important thing to keep in mind is that different partial hospitalization/day treatment programs will use different approaches to addiction treatment. some will be based on the 12 steps facilitation approach - including meetings with Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous. Others will be more secular. Yet others will be based on scientific evidence and only use evidence-based treatment modalities like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, and motivational interviewing.

The Cost of PHPs

There are several factors that will determine the cost of the partial hospitalization/day treatment program that you choose. This cost will largely be based on the location of the program. This is in the sense that programs that are in more desirable areas - such as close to a beach area or in the mountains - might end up costing you more.

The amenities provided will also have a bearing on how much you can expect. If there are more amenities like spa services, specially prepared meals, and private rooms, you may end up paying more.

The cost may also depend on the duration of your treatment. The longer you spend in such a program, the more you should expect to pay. Further, insurance coverage could affect the cost. This is with respect to the amount of your treatment costs that will be covered by your insurance provider.

Even so, you can expect to pay much less for the time you spend in a partial hospitalization/day treatment program than you would in a residential or inpatient treatment program in South Dakota. However, these programs will still be a bit costlier than other outpatient programs - such as regular outpatient programs and intensive outpatient programs. This is because you will end up spending more time in the PHP and most of these programs will serve you lunch and snacks during the day.
