South Dakota Resources


With many medicare, Medicaid and medi-cal programs offered throughout South Dakota, many people have coverage. With a rise in the addiction epidemic though, it has been found that more needs to be done to provide equal coverage to everyone in the state.

South Dakota has seen an influx of those that come in with addictions. Due to this, many of them might not have private insurance because they have lost everything due to addiction. By being able to have more coverage under Medicaid and other plans like it, they are able to get clean and get back on track. They are more likely to ask for help when they know they are not going to get turned away.

Resources are provided below for those that have Medicaid, medicare, and medi-cal programs (not private insurance coverage) and require addiction treatment and help. There is help when it is needed the most, whenever you need it.
