The Nooksack Indian Tribe Behavioral Health Center in Deming, Washington offers an array of behavioral health and addiction services to adolescents and adults. Treatment is outpatient based and using the 12 steps, group and individual therapy, medication management and play therapy. There are also spiritual and traditional elements integrated into the programs on an individualized basis.

Treatment and Staff

Treatment is available to members of the Nooksack tribe or other Native American cultures. For the adolescents, the main focus is staying in school so counselors use psychoeducation and extensive family participation, as well as outreach efforts within the community, to reach goals. There are after school groups twice a week, Tuesday and Thursday, for 90 minutes. These sessions address the life-long effects of drugs and alcohol on the individual and families, and incorporate recreational activities and play therapy.

The adult curriculum offers both an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) and standard outpatient track. These programs require an assessment at intake, two to four individual sessions a month and at least three evening groups that last two hours. Clients are introduced to AA and NA, attend relapse prevention and psychoeducation lectures and are scheduled to meet  with the staff psychiatrist on a monthly basis. This is where clients are prescribed medications, if needed. Additionally, all treatment implements traditional and spiritual teachings associated with Nooksack and other Native American cultures, such as sweat lodges, smudging ceremonies, prayer circles and consultations with a Native spiritual healer.

The facility also offers programs for DUI education and prevention.

The staff consists of LCDCs psychologists and CADCs.
