Avera Behavioral Health Hospital provides comprehensive mental health and addiction treatment for children, adolescents, adults, and seniors. They offer multiple levels of care, including inpatient programs,
outpatient therapy, and a
partial hospitalization program. Their specialized units address conditions like depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, eating disorders, and substance use disorders, ensuring age-appropriate, personalized treatment for every patient.
Their approach combines evidence-based therapies like
cognitive behavioral therapy (
CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (
DBT) with holistic treatments such as art, music, and recreational therapy. Patients receive psychiatric care, medication management, and individualized counseling, creating a well-rounded path to healing. Family involvement and support groups further enhance long-term recovery and emotional well-being.
Patients stay in comfortable, age-specific units with access to classrooms, therapy spaces, lounges, and gyms. Youth in addiction recovery have private rooms with bathrooms, while adult patients can expect structured, therapeutic environments. The facility provides chef-prepared meals and on-site amenities, including outdoor spaces, exercise areas, and a bistro. Family visitation and follow-up care ensure ongoing support after treatment.
Evidence-Based Context: According to SAMHSA's National Survey on Drug Use and Health (2023), approximately 48.7 million Americans aged 12 or older had a substance use disorder in the past year. The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) emphasizes that treatment programs combining behavioral therapy with medication-assisted approaches show the highest rates of sustained recovery. Facilities like Avera Behavioral Health Hospital provide structured pathways to evidence-based care.
