Puyallup Tribal Treatment Center

The Puyallup Tribal Health Authority provides behavioral health services through their Kwawachee Behavioral Health and Wellness center. This treatment center supports individuals and families who are struggling with mental health challenges, substance use disorders, and addictive gambling behaviors. They specifically serve American Indians and Alaskan Natives who live in Pierce County.

Along with traditional counseling, they offer crisis stabilization services for any short-term interventions that can help you through an acute mental health crisis.

I also noticed their peer services and equine therapy, which is exciting because it involves horses and can help you during your recovery. They have health promotion and education as well.

They treat co-occurring conditions and offer preventative measures to ensure you stay on the right path even after you’re done with the program. They offer medication-assisted treatment as well for anyone suffering from opioid use disorders. This can help with withdrawal symptoms and cravings.

In addition to all of their addiction and mental health treatment, this health center offers a wide range of other health services. They have medical care, dental services, community health programs, pediatric care for children and infants, and even an on-site pharmacy for their patients.
