Call to South Dakota Artists
July 2019
“It is time to bring mental health care and addiction services out of the dark. People with addictions and mental health issues are not weak or crazy. They are people with illnesses. All we are lacking is a first class environment where we can bring first class treatment to our neighbors and friends. That is about to change.” Ted Parsons, Vice Chair, Capital Area Counseling (CACS) Board of Directors. Read more about CACS and our new treatment facility at www.cacsnet.org
Our new multi-million dollar treatment facility at 2001 Eastgate Avenue in Pierre will open in September 2019. It will be the permanent home of CACS and will offer a beautiful, welcoming environment where hope and wellness are felt upon seeing the facility and entering its doors.
The CACS Board and staff hold the following Vision with highest regard:
Capital Area Counseling Service, Inc. aspires to be a great place to receive care and a great place to work in central South Dakota.
