About Morongo Indian Health Clinic – Banning
The Morongo Clinic is part of Riverside San Bernardino County Indian Health. They provide outpatient (OP) substance abuse and dual diagnosis treatment for members of federally recognized Indian tribes. Non-Indian family members may also qualify for care. They offer medication assisted treatment (MAT) as an outpatient service for patients with opioid use disorder. If you need a deeper level of care, they offer referral services for residential drug rehab and psychiatric treatment.
Generally, there is no cost for care, but some patients may qualify for alternate healthcare coverage through Medi-Cal, Medicare, or Covered California. During the pre-screening process, patient services staff will help you with payment and insurance questions.
Outpatient treatments include culturally sensitive, evidence based methods proven to help many people struggling with addiction. Everything is personalized to fit your unique situation and needs.
Your therapist may use cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help you shift negative thinking patterns. Motivational interviewing (MI) focuses on uncovering your reasons for making life changes. If you need help managing intense emotions, dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) can help.
Many patients come to treatment suffering not only from addiction but also from past trauma. If you’re struggling to come to terms with things that have happened to you, your therapist may suggest eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) or trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT). Together, these therapies empower you to push forward in recovery.
Medication assisted treatment for opioid disorders has been a lifesaver for many patients. Patients often talk about how it eased their fear of withdrawal and cravings. This support can help you reclaim your life and move forward with hope. Before starting treatment, you’ll have a psychiatric medication assessment to identify if medication is right for you.
Patients praise the kind, respectful staff, and welcoming environment. Some call the clinic a rare gem. If you’re feeling overwhelmed by addiction, culturally sensitive, personalized care here could help you take that important next step to recovery.
