<p><strong>ABOUT MISSOULA URBAN INDIAN HEALTH CENTER</strong></p> <p>Located in the community of Missoula, Mont., Missoula Urban Indian Health Center provides a range of <strong>treatment services for the Native American community of Missoula</strong> and the surrounding area. It is one of <a href="https://wwwdasis.samhsa.gov/webt/state_data/MT17.pdf" target="_blank">seven facilities in the state</a> coordinated by a tribal governance organization. </p> <p>The facility offers traditional outpatient and <strong>intensive outpatient programs (IOP)</strong> for individuals seeking treatment for chemical dependency, as well as psychiatric healthcare services. Although the facility does not provide on-site detoxification services, clinicians can make client referrals to appropriate programs in the area.</p> <p><strong>TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT</strong></p> <p>Before beginning treatment, clients participate in an initial substance abuse assessment to determine an appropriate level of care. Nearly all of <a href="https://wwwdasis.samhsa.gov/webt/state_data/MT17.pdf" target="_blank">Montana’s facilities</a> use a similar assessment method to guide their treatment. The facility’s traditional outpatient program involves up to <strong>eight hours of programming each week</strong>, while the intensive outpatient program (IOP) may consist of up to 30 hours of weekly treatment sessions. However, the <strong>IOP generally involves nine hours of weekly groups</strong> and one hour of individual therapy.</p> <p>Missoula Urban Indian Health Center’s treatment programs for chemical dependency combines evidence-based treatment approaches with culturally-relevant philosophies and practices. For example, the center utilizes a <strong>Twelve Steps for Native Americans treatment model</strong>, which blends traditional <strong>12-step</strong> tenants with Native American beliefs. </p> <p>Along with an introduction to the 12-step model of recovery, clients also participate in both <strong>group and individual counseling sessions</strong>. The 12-Step model is used in <a href="https://wwwdasis.samhsa.gov/webt/state_data/MT17.pdf" target="_blank">52 of Montana’s facilities</a>. Counseling sessions help facilitate free expression, provide peer support, and improve self-awareness while introducing techniques and skills for relapse prevention.</p> <p>Along with treatment for chemical dependency, the facility also provides psychiatric screenings and <strong>culturally-relevant mental health therapy</strong>. In the state, <a href="https://wwwdasis.samhsa.gov/webt/state_data/MT17.pdf" target="_blank">77.1 percent of Montana’s facilities</a> offer mental health assessments as a part of their treatment options. </p> <p>According to the facility’s website, individual and group counseling sessions that address mental health concerns are designed to provide “cultural relevance regarding communication, perception, thought process, self-expression and esteem and plan for safety and stability.” Counseling sessions are also designed to <strong>support Native Americans transitioning and adjusting to an urban lifestyle</strong>.</p> <p>Although Missoula Urban Indian Health Center specializes in providing culturally-relevant treatment for Native Americans, the facility does accept clients without Native American descent. <strong>Transportation and childcare services may be available</strong> to clients actively receiving treatment.</p> <p><strong>STAFF CREDENTIALS</strong></p> <p>The center’s staff is comprised of <strong>tribal-affiliated specialists familiar with both Native American values and traditions and evidence-based treatment methods.</strong> These specialists include a pharmacist, fitness and health coaches, behavioral health specialists, tobacco counselors, and community resource managers. </p> <p><strong>WHAT ALUMNI SAY</strong></p> <p>Rehabs.com has yet to receive alumni feedback to date.
