Focus

This center treats substance use disorders and mental health conditions. You'll receive individualized care catered to your unique situation and diagnosis, learn practical skills for recovery, and make new connections in a restorative environment.

American Indian Health and Family Services provides integrated care for mental health challenges like gambling, eating disorders, suicidality, depression, anxiety, and trauma, as well as substance use disorders. The center offers outpatient services for all ages that combine primary medical care with behavioral health support. This comprehensive approach ensures that both the mind and body are cared for together, providing a complete path to wellness for individuals. The center's methods blend modern evidence-based therapies with traditional Native American healing practices. Clients can participate in individual and group counseling, receive psychiatric care, and access medication-assisted treatment. These services are complemented by culturally significant activities like talking circles, helping individuals heal by connecting their emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being in a supportive, understanding environment. Distinctive programs are tailored for the community. The Wellbriety movement offers a culturally-based path to sobriety by addressing intergenerational trauma. Prevention initiatives like the "Good Path" program support youth in avoiding substance use and suicide. Individuals can also connect with their heritage through sweat lodge ceremonies, traditional crafting, and guidance from respected healers.
