About San Manuel Clinic Indian Health – San Bernardino
San Bernardino, California, was home to the San Manuel Clinic – Indian Health. This clinic was part of Riverside-San Bernardino County Indian Health, Inc., a network of nine tribes dedicated to bringing the best quality healthcare to Native Americans and their non-Indian family members. They offered comprehensive care for patients of all ages, including mental healthcare and addiction treatment. While this location is closed, they offer similar services at their nearby location in San Bernardino, California.
Getting help can feel overwhelming, but the Behavioral Health Services (BHS) team at Indian Health makes it easier. They offer therapy, psychiatric medication assessments, and even referrals for residential treatment if that’s what’s needed. If you’re struggling with opioid use disorder, medication assisted treatment (MAT) is available to help manage withdrawal and support long-term recovery.
What really stands out here is the way patients are treated. Many patients have shared that doctors take the time to listen, explain options, and make sure no one feels rushed or like just another number. The environment is welcoming, and that kind of care can be life-changing.
I like that they meet people where they are and offer real tools for coping and healing. One method your counselors may use is cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). It’s one of the most popular and proven approaches and can help you reframe negative thoughts.
Trauma-focused CBT guides you through dealing with painful experiences in a structured, supportive way. If you’ve experienced deep trauma, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) is available to help reprocess those memories. Not every addiction treatment center offers EMDR, making it a valuable resource if you need more specialized care.
Every therapy option is evidence based. And your counselors will respect both your personal experiences and cultural background, creating a space where healing feels meaningful.
Not only do they accept private insurance, but their Patient Services team will help you apply for Medi-Cal or Medicare. They also provide no-cost services to eligible patients. With their strong commitment to compassionate care, San Manuel Indian Health Clinic continues to be a trusted place for healthcare.
