About Native American Health Center – San Francisco
You’ll find the Native American Health Center located out in San Francisco Bay, California. They offer mental and behavioral health care. Their outpatient (OP) and aftercare programs cater for adults and youths ages 10 and over. While they have programming aimed at American Indians specifically, there are no tribal or ethnic requirements for receiving care.
Their outpatient program provides substance abuse treatment by teaching clients self-awareness and management skills to overcome addictions. Their recovery support services integrate the use of Native healing practices and traditions with Western therapeutic techniques such as cognitive-behavioral therapy and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR).
As part of their general and aftercare services, they provide a 24/7 support and behavioral health crisis line, offering confidential counseling and support.
Native American Health Center works with non-specialty Medi-Cal Managed Care Plans, and Medicare. Treatment may be covered in part by other major insurers, such as Ambetter, Beacon, Humana, and Cigna. People without insurance can ask about eligibility for programs that pay for their care or the sliding fee scale. Check with your provider to assess coverage and if any out of network benefits apply.
Through connections to the Indian Health Service (IHS), the Native American Health Center is an Urban Indian Health Project, and is accredited by the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care.
