Badlands Human Service Center - Behavioral Health Services

They offer inpatient residential, outpatient, telemedicine and detox. The practical difference is whether you sleep at home or at the center, and is 1 other center inside 14 miles if neither suits.

They handle detox for opioids, alcohol, benzodiazepines, cocaine and methamphetamines. Ask how many days theirs lasts, because that varies more between places than people expect and Dickinson has 1 other center to compare.

One of their programs is built for people dealing with past trauma, which usually means a separate group rather than the same room with a different label, and it is one of the 4 named here.

They treat adolescents. A program built for a 17 year old is not the same program as the adult one, so ask which of the two they offer in Dickinson.

They offer a telemedicine option. What that covers varies, and a first appointment in Dickinson often still has to be in person.

Cost turns on three things: the level of care, how long it lasts, and what your coverage picks up. A quote for 30 days and a quote for 90 days get presented the same way, so the length is the first thing to check. Cost is a reasonable thing to lead with, and nobody answering a treatment line will be surprised by it.

Both can be treated at once, and programs that do are described as integrated or co-occurring. Which came first is usually impossible to untangle and rarely changes what should happen next. Call (844) 822-5800 and someone can look specifically for programs that handle both.

Bring the paperwork, the medications and enough clothing for a week. Most places do laundry. A written packing list exists at almost every residential program, and asking for it saves an argument at intake. Sort out who has your keys, your mail and your animals before the day itself.
