About Creek Nation Behavioral Health and Substance Abuse – Okmulgee
Creek Nation Behavioral Health and Substance Abuse is a treatment center for the Muscogee (Creek) Nation. This is the Okmulgee location of Muscogee (Creek) Nation Behavioral Health in Oklahoma. As just one of five locations within the Muscogee (Creek) Nation Reservation, it specializes in mental health and addiction treatment services for enrolled tribe members, regardless of age.
Native Americans are a minority population that is disproportionately affected by mental health and addiction issues, so it’s important that targeted support services like this exist. It’s for this reason that the Okmulgee location and others like it specialize in supporting tribe members specifically.
Individuals seeking help here can expect to undergo initial testing and assessments. These are available to kids and adults alike, and are designed to evaluate clients’ psychiatric wellbeing. In this way, the team can get a better sense of which services would be most appropriate in any given situation. Of course, this will always vary, since recovery isn’t a one-size-fits-all type of deal.
Crisis assessments and intervention services are similarly available, with the focus here being on people who have reached their limit either mentally or emotionally. In these cases, clients will be treated through intervention and potentially referred to other relevant support services.
Clients can also access individual, group, and family counseling to address various mental health issues. Specialized substance abuse group sessions are also provided. Case management, as well as psychiatric medication management services are also available. Primary care services are also conveniently integrated as part of the wider approach here.
Knowledge is power, so it’s important that clients here also engage in the specialized training and educational services available here. Much of this is prevention education, covering topics like suicide and nicotine as well as HIV and Hep B, along with more general substance abuse prevention.
For more accessible care, the center offers support in-person, as well as over the phone, or through telehealth services.
