Questions people ask about First Step Counseling
What levels of care does First Step Counseling offer?
They are set up for 1 level: outpatient. Of the 8 centers within 14 miles of Sioux Falls, 3 offer a bed.
Is detox part of what First Step Counseling offers?
No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Sioux Falls, 1.9 miles away.
Does First Step Counseling have beds?
Outpatient only. Nobody stays overnight, so the week is built around appointments you travel to in Sioux Falls.
Does First Step Counseling offer medication for addiction?
No medication assisted treatment here. Some programs are abstinence based by design, which is a real difference rather than an oversight, and Sioux Falls has 8 other centers to compare.
What other centers are nearby?
The nearest other center is under a mile away, in Sioux Falls, and there are 8 inside 14 miles.
Is there support after treatment finishes?
Aftercare is the step down: less intensive, longer lasting, and often the difference that lasts. Alumni programs exist at many centers and are usually free to people who went through them. Book the first appointment after discharge while you are still in the program, not afterward.
Is treatment expensive?
There is no price on this site, because what a program costs depends on the level of care and on your plan. Outpatient care costs a fraction of residential care, and for a lot of people it is the right level anyway. If the number is impossible, say so plainly, because the funded alternatives are real.
Who answers the phone?
The point of the call is to work out which level of care fits, which takes a handful of questions. Understating the amount is the most common mistake on that call, and it leads to the wrong level of care being offered. Ask what the next step is and who is responsible for arranging it.
