Osage Nation – Primary Residential Treatment Center

Osage Nation – Primary Residential Treatment program located in Pawhuska, Oklahoma is a substance abuse treatment program for men and women. It is a 60 day inpatient treatment program. To qualify you must prove that you are eligible for Indian Health Services.

I think culturally informed treatment programs are important options. Our actions and behaviors are informed in part by our backgrounds, including cultural heritage. Since substance abuse treatment services typically require you to connect your addiction to events in your life in some way, it makes sense to tie into cultural background.

It also provides you with another anchor point in recovery. If you find yourself deeply connected to tradition, those traditions can work to help support you and prevent relapse. The Osage Nation program is built on cultural principles and utilizes traditional activities alongside support groups and therapy.

To qualify for treatment you must be 18 or older and be a descendant of a federally recognized tribe.
