Medical Wellness Center
The Native Healing Program (NHP) provides treatment for alcohol and drug addiction, focusing on Native American communities in Pennington County and surrounding areas. The program provides online and in-person video evaluations for drug and alcohol assessments. They offer intensive outpatient services, addressing substance abuse and its connection to historical trauma. NHP combines modern treatment with Native traditions, creating a unique space for healing.
They blend evidence-based therapies with methods tailored to Native American culture. Their treatment includes standard counseling practices along with culturally significant practices, such as the Inipi (sweat lodge ceremony). This integrated approach addresses both the psychological and spiritual aspects of healing, focusing on uncovering and healing the underlying causes of addiction.
NHP also stands out for its community-centered approach, involving families and local resources in the healing process. Beyond therapy, the program offers opportunities for traditional ceremonies, creating a deeper cultural connection and providing lasting support throughout recovery.
