Today is International Overdose Awareness Day. On this day, we remember those we have lost and break the silence around overdose. Talking about overdose could save a life. At SDUIH, we are here to support our relatives on their journey to recovery.

We offer comprehensive treatment for opioid use disorder, including Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) along with behavioral health therapy, and cultural health services. Our individualized approach ensures that each person gets the care they need and deserve.

If you or someone you know is struggling, reach out. Together, we can make a difference.

We are closed on Monday in honor of Labor Day but remember, our new clinic hours go into effect next week!

Starting next week, both clinics will operate during these hours:
❗️Monday - Thursday: 8 am - 5 pm
❗️ Friday: 8 am - 12 pm

Enjoy the holiday weekend! We look forward to seeing you during our updated hours!

Last week we welcomed five 3rd-year medical students from USD to our Sioux Falls clinic for a cultural immersion experience. Over three days, the students learned about traditional medicines, engaged in a roundtable discussion with our providers, joined our walking group, participated in beading and sewing, explored our MAT program, and did street outreach with the Wo'okiye team.

The students were incredibly engaged and eager to learn. We were glad to have them with us. We hope this experience will enrich their future medical careers with a deeper appreciation for cultural humility and the diverse needs of the communities they serve!
