Our clients are enrolled members and their families on the Qualla Boundary, in Cherokee County and Snowbird; and enrolled members of other federally recognized tribes.
We believe there are multiple effective methods of treatment and no one method should be used with Native American clients to the exclusion of others. We therefore offer a blend of conventional and traditional Native interventions.
You begin your steps to recovery with a rigorous screening and assessment process. We present the facts to you and your family (when appropriate); and we work with you to make a self-determined plan that leads to wellness, beyond sobriety/stability.
While you are utilizing our services, you do not enter a residential treatment center; rather, you are able to live and work in your community. You are ultimately responsible for your choices and whether or not you are open to a new way of living.
We also provide community outreach and program consultation.
