About Northern Valley Indian Health – Chico, California

Northern Valley Indian Health provides primary, dental and behavioral health care services for children, adolescents and adults in California, with an emphasis on helping the Native American community. They operate four locations in Chico, California including the Chico East Avenue clinic. Here, you can participate in outpatient counseling to help you overcome your struggles and reclaim your quality of life. You can pay for your care through self payment, private insurance, Medicare and Medi-Cal. Native American individuals and their partners receive services at no cost.

Their behavioral health services cover a range of different treatment options, including play therapy, family therapy and psychotherapy. They even have an Alcohol and Other Drugs program just for adolescents and adults who are battling addictions. When you enroll in this program, you’ll receive individual and group counseling to help you work through your condition. They’ll also teach you about the disease of addiction and how to cope with stress in a healthy way.

Something I like about this facility is that they respect all languages, cultures and backgrounds. They have Spanish speaking clinicians on staff and offer special cultural services for Native Americans. I also like the many different support group options they offer. These services help you build skills and connect with others, with opportunities that include field trips, arts and crafts, traditional dances, talking circle groups and beading.
