Faith-based recovery support in Sioux Falls, South Dakota
When use becomes a problem
​Addiction is not a lack of character or a reason to give up on someone. A substance-use disorder can affect the brain, body, choices and relationships. It often shows up as loss of control, cravings, continued use despite harm and difficulty stopping without support.
​Common signs
-
Drinking more or longer than you planned
-
Trying to cut back but being unable to stay stopped
-
Needing more alcohol to feel the same effect
-
Missing work, family responsibilities or important events
-
Continuing to drink despite health, legal or relationship consequences
-
Feeling shaky, anxious, sweaty, nauseated or unable to sleep when alcohol wears off
Risks and immediate safety
Long-term heavy drinking can affect the liver, heart, brain, sleep, mood and judgment. Alcohol withdrawal can be dangerous and, in severe cases, life-threatening. A person who may be physically dependent should seek medical guidance rather than suddenly stopping alone.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to hit rock bottom before asking for help?
No. You can ask for help as soon as alcohol is causing concern or taking more from your life than you want to give it.
Can I safely stop drinking on my own?
Some people can, but withdrawal can be medically dangerous for a person who drinks heavily or regularly. Call 911 for seizures, hallucinations, severe confusion, chest pain or trouble breathing. A medical provider or detox program can advise you on a safe plan.
Is Washed Clean a detox center?
Washed Clean provides faith-based recovery support and transitional living. Confirm the organization’s current clinical and admission capabilities before publishing. People who need detox or emergency care should be connected with an appropriate medical provider.
Can my family call for information?
Yes. A family member can reach out to learn about the program, possible next steps and how to support a loved one without trying to carry the problem alone.
