The Cowlitz Indian Tribe Behavioral Health program provides comprehensive, culturally grounded care that treats the whole person rather than focusing only on symptoms. Recognizing that mental health challenges, substance use, and addictive behaviors often stem from interconnected emotional, psychological, social, and physical factors, the program emphasizes integrated planning and coordinated services that support long-term healing and resilience. Services are designed to honor cultural traditions and values while addressing the real-life challenges individuals and families face.
Behavioral health services include mental health therapy, psychiatric medication management, substance use disorder treatment, peer support, medication-assisted treatment, and responsible gaming services. Counseling options span individual, family, and group therapy, along with co-occurring services and peer-led support. These therapeutic services help individuals develop healthier coping skills, strengthen relationships, and improve emotional regulation. For those struggling with anger, impulsivity, or conflict, group and individual counseling—along with evidence-informed approaches such as Moral Reconation Therapy and Seeking Safety—support improved decision-making, accountability, and constructive responses to stress and strong emotions.
Substance use treatment offers outpatient care, relapse prevention, aftercare, and culturally rooted programming that integrates traditional teachings and life skills development. Medication-assisted treatment further supports recovery by reducing barriers to care, lowering overdose risk, and combining medical services with therapeutic and cultural supports. Peer support specialists add an additional layer of guidance by using lived experience to encourage hope, self-advocacy, and wellness.
The program also addresses problem gambling through free assessments, therapy, education, and family support, helping individuals regain control, rebuild relationships, and restore balance. Overall, the Behavioral Health program is committed to holistic, respectful, and community-centered care that empowers individuals to heal, grow, and move forward with strength and purpose.
