If you are still alive, there is still hope. Washed Clean Ministries helps people build a recovery life through faith, structure, safe community and practical support.
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
-
Strong cravings or feeling unable to function without opioids
-
Using more often or in larger amounts than intended
-
Drowsiness, pinpoint pupils, slowed breathing or frequent nodding off
-
Withdrawal symptoms such as pain, nausea, diarrhea, sweating or restlessness
-
Seeking pills or drugs from multiple sources
-
Continuing to use after an overdose or serious consequence
Risks and immediate safety
​Opioids can slow or stop breathing. An overdose may look like unresponsiveness, slow or absent breathing, blue or gray lips, choking or gurgling sounds, or pinpoint pupils. Call 911 immediately, give naloxone if available and follow dispatcher instructions. South Dakota’s current overdose reporting identifies fentanyl and methamphetamine as leading substances of concern.

Participants can find transitional housing, a faith-centered community, mentoring and sponsorship, recovery structure, prayer, practical life support and help reconnecting with work and healthy relationships. Medication for opioid use disorder can be an important evidence-based part of treatment; medication decisions belong between the individual and qualified medical professionals.

Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do if someone may be overdosing?
Call 911 immediately. Give naloxone if it is available, provide rescue breathing or CPR if instructed and stay with the person. A second dose of naloxone may be needed.
Is fentanyl always visible in another drug?
No. Illicit fentanyl may be mixed into powders or counterfeit pills without a person knowing. Appearance alone cannot confirm what a substance contains.
Does Washed Clean provide medical detox or medication?
Washed Clean is a faith-based recovery and transitional-living ministry. Verify current clinical services before publishing. Detoxification and medication decisions should be handled by qualified medical providers.
Can faith-based recovery work with medical treatment?
Yes. Spiritual support, community and practical accountability can work alongside appropriate medical and behavioral health care. The page should never tell a person to stop prescribed medication.
