In March 1990, Glory House received state accreditation as a residential program for alcohol and drug treatment. The expansion of programming created a need for more space. In 2008, Glory House opened the Sands Freedom Center with the help of generous donors. This expansion helped us increase our bed space and staff positions to better serve South Dakotans. This facility currently has 40 beds for our female clients, group rooms and offices.

Alumni Success Story!
What have you been up to since you left Glory House?
I went to Glory House October 16, 2024 and February 14, 2025. I have been working at the lumberyard in Langford, SD and they're wonderful people to work with. I manage the apartments I live in and do flooring on the side. I have a wonderful support group, so my life has made a total 360° in a little over 14 months. I love being in sobriety everyday of my life but it's a full time job in its self.

What is your advice for other people who are struggling with addiction?
I myself about died from alcoholism, so please if you're reading this, don't let it go that far. Nobody deserves that, no matter what you may think. I'm a firm believer you make stuff happen in your life, because it's nobody's choice but yours! Changing people, places, and things does work. I've changed so much in my life, I'm blessed to experience the Glory House!

What would you like to stay to Glory House donors?
The clients look forward to the food donations, it makes it really feel like home for a short period of time. Donors, you people are saving lives. Keep it up, it's a good program!

I would like to thank the staff at the Glory House and the donors! I met some really great people there!

Thank YOU, Josh! You make us look good. 💙

Counselor Ayele facilitates a group called Brain Matters. This group is dedicated to learning about how addiction impacts the brain. Counselor Ayele said "When the brain is put under the prison of addiction, we are losing the specific essential functions of specific brain parts. That means individuals daily functions are affected. Impulsivity, poor decision making, poor judgement, poor concentration, and poor memory are some of the results when addiction impairs the normal brain functions. So, knowing your brain and its parts functions would help to understand the extent of damage imposed by addiction."
