The program is typically a
thirty day program. An extended
program is available for those clients who need more time to address their
addiction. Mash-ka-wisen is
dedicated to assisting our clients in entering a life of recovery.
We take our responsibilities very seriously and our staff is dedicated to
providing the best available services to support clients in developing a life of
recovery.
Adolescent Inpatient Treatment Program
The adolescent program provides treatment services for Native American
youth ages 13-17 years old. The
program is a minimum of 45 days and focuses on educating the client on the
harmful consequences of their chemical use, the addiction process, recovery,
life skills and taking pride in being an Indian person.
Our program also provides four hours of school five days a week while the
client is in treatment. Clients are
also asked to develop a re-entry plan before their graduation from treatment.
Our treatment programs
include:
·
Individual
Assessment: Each client is assessed
upon admission to determine the level of care necessary to assist them in
entering recovery. This assessment
is a comprehensive look at the affects of chemicals in all life areas and
identifying problem areas to be addressed.
The information is used to assist staff in developing a treatment plan in
conjunction with the client.
·
Individual
Treatment Plans: The counseling
team works with the primary counselor in developing an individual treatment plan
to assist the client in their recovery efforts.
The individual treatment plan is adjusted as needed to meet the needs of
the client during their treatment stay.
·
Treatment
Program: Mash-ka-wisen has
developed a basic treatment program to compliment the individual plan.
This program consists of group therapy, lectures, self directed study
time and exposure to Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous.
We take a holistic approach to treatment incorporating the Twelve Steps
of Alcoholics Anonymous, current understanding of addiction, mental health
services and the use of Native American Tradition and Culture.
Clients are invited to participate in numerous ceremonies and rituals
during their treatment stay.
·
Nursing Services:
Nursing services are available to all clients including basic intake
requirements. Nursing services will
monitor medications and general health concerns.
Medical services beyond typical nursing services will be arranged through
the nursing department.
·
Mental Health
Services: Mental health services
are provided on an “as needed” basis.
These services are provided by a licensed psychologist and a
psychiatrist. Referrals are made
through the counseling staff based on testing and observation.
It is important to note that our programs are not dual diagnosis
programs, however, we frequently admit clients diagnosed with a mental health
issue. A client with a mental health diagnosis must have been evaluated by a
qualified mental health professional, must be taking any prescribed medications
as directed and a mental health profession must verify in writing prior to
admission that the client is stable for chemical dependency treatment.
