    Codington Connects weekly update - From 8 Years of Addiction to 1,100+ Days Sober: Dylan’s Story of Hope & Healing 🌟

    From 8 Years of Addiction to 1,100+ Days Sober: Dylan’s Story of Hope & Healing 🌟 "I had had enough. Of what I was looking for, I wasn't finding. And I was ready to do something more with my life..." — Dylan Bethke In the latest episode of Codington Connects, host Angie Collignon (Substance Use and Justice Programs Coordinator) sat down with guest Dylan Bethke for an open, powerful conversation about his journey through methamphetamine addiction, incarceration, treatment court, and long-term recovery. Key takeaways from Dylan’s story: Breaking the Cycle: After nearly eight years of daily methamphetamine use and multiple stays in rehab and jail, Dylan joined the Treatment Court program at age 27. Today, he is over 1,179 days sober (since July 23, 2023). Reclaiming Family: One of Dylan's greatest achievements in recovery is being a present, full-time dad to his two young boys. Rebuilding a Life: Through Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), support from the Human Service Agency (HSA), Brothers and Sisters Behind Bars (BSBB), and a strong support network, Dylan has transformed his mental health, restored his physical health, and built a bright future. Community Resources: Programs like Treatment Court, adult diversion, peer support, and local re-entry services exist to ensure no one has to walk the path to recovery alone. 👉 Watch/Listen to the full interview to hear Dylan and Angie discuss breaking stigmas, navigating early recovery triggers, and utilizing local resources in Codington County. If you or someone you know is struggling with substance use or mental health in Codington County, resources are available—regardless of financial barriers.

    🌟 September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, and today we’re highlighting a story of unimaginable courage right here in our community. 💛

    🌟 September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, and today we’re highlighting a story of unimaginable courage right here in our community. 💛 On June 9th, the Holida family’s world turned upside down when 9-year-old Sophie was diagnosed with Stage 4 Embryonal Rhabdomyosarcoma, a rare and aggressive form of cancer. In a moving interview on Northeast Radio SD, Sophie’s mother, Ashley Holida, opened up about the grueling reality of childhood cancer—a journey filled with intense chemotherapy, radiation treatments at the Mayo Clinic, and terrifying complications that left Sophie in the ICU on a ventilator for 35 days. But this is also a story of fierce resilience. Despite the unimaginable hurdles—including losing her hair, re-learning how to walk and talk, and being isolated from her friends—Sophie continues to fight with a smile. She has found immense comfort in Taylor Swift's music, which hospital staff play during her treatments to give her a "personal concert" and help ease her fears. Childhood cancer isn't just about medical treatments; it impacts the entire family physically, emotionally, and financially. Let's rally behind the Holidas! Whether it’s sending a card, sharing her story, listening to some Taylor Swift in her honor, or supporting local fundraisers, your love reminds them they aren't fighting alone. 🎗️ Drop a 💛 in the comments to show your support for Sophie, and let’s keep spreading awareness this September!
