    South Dakota Recovery Connection

    Creating a Culture of Recovery in South Dakota Communities.

     

    Welcome!

    Recovery Communities of South Dakota is committed to providing a welcoming and supportive community with individuals and families seeking a new life from the challenges of life in the midst of addiction, alcoholism, rooted in unresolved grief and the multiple layers of trauma.

     

    Recovery Communities of South Dakota is guided by elders and cultural wisdom keepers in our communities and embraces the Seven Traditional Values of the Lakota*

    • Fortitude can be seen as the inner strength or inner fire that allows an individual to persevere in the face of adversity.
    • Wisdom is the ability to make the right decisions not just for self, but for family and community.
    • Courage is the willingness to put oneself in harm’s way to protect family and community or to advance a higher cause or purpose.
    • Generosity is giving of possessions, time & energy to other so that they may prosper.
    • Honor is having integrity to honest character – one who can be trusted.
    • Respect is understanding the importance of all creation, including people, animals and earth.
    • Humility is the core value – understanding that the values and gifts given to us by our creator are not only for personal gains.  Our purpose is to protect, heal and advance our communities for benefit of future generations.
