About Creoks Health Services – Sallisaw
CREOKS Mental Health Services in Sallisaw, Oklahoma is part of a group of 24 Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinics that have contracts with the Oklahoma Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Department. These clinics serve low income Eastern Oklahoma citizens, both adults and children, by providing medical, mental health, and other social services.
Their Sallisaw clinic is a nonprofit Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic that is funded by Oklahoma Medicaid. CCBHC clinics are mandated to provide mental health and substance abuse care to everyone no matter their ability to pay. Their adult services include assessment and screening, diagnosis, and treatment planning, individual, group, and family counseling, psychiatric consultation, medication management, and coordination of care with your primary care provider. They incorporate scientifically tested therapies such as cognitive behavioral therapy.
You’ll access care in an outpatient setting to allow you to continue to work, attend school, and live at home. Children and youth up to the age 25 can receive the same kinds of services but with the addition of play therapy provided through clinics, school based programs, and in home care. When circumstances require it, services can be handled through a juvenile or adult drug court.
CREOKS Mental Health Services acknowledges and is respectful of the indigenous communities and Native Persons whose lands they occupy in Oklahoma. They are certified by the Oklahoma Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services and are CARF accredited.
If you use Oklahoma Medicaid, which is now called SoonerCare), you can receive free screenings for depression, anxiety, or substance abuse without prior authorization. Once you visit a mental health clinic for a screening, they will help you access further services as needed.
