IHCRC's Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselors utilize a multidisciplinary approach to screening, referral and treatment. The holistic approach includes professional counseling, support groups, traditional Native American treatments and spiritual practices. Healthy living alternatives are supported by promoting self esteem, physical awareness and positive living practices. Medical, mental health or chemical dependency problems are augmented with a personal healthy lifestyle program of regular exercise, cultural awareness and regular medical examinations. Indian Health Care is a new partner with the Cherokee Nation in the ongoing battle against substance abuse. The Cherokee Nation has received a major federal  Access to Recovery grant to support its  Many Paths substance abuse treatment program. The goal of the program is to improve access to substance abuse and recovery services for American Indian adolescents, men and women. </p><p> Access to Recovery is a grant program funded by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) that provides vouchers to clients to purchase of substance abuse clinical treatment and recovery support services. Goals of the program are to expand capacity, support client choice, and increase the array of faith-based and community-based providers for clinical treatment and recovery support services. </p><p>The Access to Recovery concept recognizes that people need to be able to make choices and take an active role in their path to recovery. Recovery can take many pathways  physical, mental, emotional or spiritual. The Cherokee Nation Many Paths program offers participants choices ranging from conventional medical providers to faith-based and native healers.</p><p>Clients are empowered to choose who they want to provide their substance abuse treatment and recovery services through a unique voucher system. The Cherokee Nation is committed to ensuring all clients are given a genuine, free and independent choice from a referral list of eligible substance abuse agencies in the community. In addition to treatment services, all clients will have access to a broad range aftercare support services to support their recovery from substance abuse. </p> <p>Many substance abuse patients are dually diagnosed with chemical dependency and mental health disorders. The psychiatric component to their illness is supplemented with additional interventions directly aimed at substance abuse, such as Alcoholics Anonymous and other 12-step programs. The clinical services offered include drug and alcohol screening, individual therapy, family therapy and a number of specialized groups.</p> <p>The Human Services Department has contracts with the Oklahoma Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services to provide diagnosis and outpatient treatment. These contracts serve both Native Americans and non-Native Americans who need substance abuse services, but are unable to pay.</p> <p>Through Tulsa Drug Court, eligible clients participate in intensive outpatient care as an alternative to incarceration.</p> <p>The following brochure is available:</p> <div class="boardImg"> <img src="/files/brochures/AlcoholDrugTreatmentcopy.jpg" alt="Alcohol Drug Treatment Program" /> <p class="name"> <a href="/files/AlcoholDrugTreatment.pdf"> Alcohol and Drug Treatment Program (PDF)</a> </p> </div> <br class="spacer" /> <br class="spacer" /> </div> </div> </div> <p class="footer">&copy; 2011 Indian Health Care Resource Center of Tulsa, Inc.
