About Dakota Drug and Alcohol Prevention Inc

Dakota Drug and Alcohol Prevention Inc, known as Prairie View Prevention Services, is a Sioux Falls, South Dakota organization offering substance use prevention, early intervention, and addiction counseling with a focus on adolescents. For more than 25 years, they have served families across Minnehaha and Lincoln counties through school-based programs and community efforts aimed at reducing the acceptance of teen alcohol and drug use. Their approach treats each young person as an individual with distinct needs rather than putting everyone through the same program. Services include substance use assessments and outpatient treatment alongside their prevention work.

Prairie View offers state-accredited individual and group prevention education through their Primary Prevention and Intensive Prevention programs, along with offerings called Breakthrough Group and Connections. Their services are designed to help students meet the requirements that follow alcohol and drug citations or school activity and substance violation policies, and they include diversion options. Prevention and early intervention programs are free for students in contracted school districts and available for a modest fee elsewhere. Assessments, outpatient treatment, and other interventions may be the financial responsibility of the teen or their family.
