About Cooweescoowee Health Center
The Cherokee Nation Cooweescoowee Health Center is located in Ochelata, Oklahoma. They specialize in treating adults who are struggling with behavioral health and substance abuse disorders.
This health center was named after Chief John Ross’s Cherokee name Koo-wi-s-gu-wi. It was developed in 2013 and opened in 2015. It’s located on 20 acres of land and includes 28,000 square feet of building space. Since it opened, treatment, supportive services, and resources have become more accessible to individuals located in this area.
When you first go here, you’ll meet with a clinician who can complete the intake process. They’ll perform an initial assessment to get you connected to the level of care most beneficial for you and the goals you wish to achieve.
I like that they offer extensive patient benefit coordination here. This helps combat any hindrances or barriers that could prevent you from getting the level of care or services you need. They provide advocacy, support and linkage to resources you can use throughout your healing process. They can also assist with employment job searches and housing assistance or make referrals to a more intensive level of care.
They provide behavioral health services for individuals experiencing intense mental health conditions or behavioral disorders. Areas of concern such as trauma, anxiety, depression, and phobias can be treated with a team of highly skilled and licensed professionals. Medication management, wraparound services, therapy and group counseling can be included.
Other services available to you during the time you are receiving treatment here include dental services, dietary services, pharmacy services, primary care, radiology and so much more. This can be so convenient because you can receive medical care here while you recover from addiction.
The area where they are located offers a variety of different restaurants, hotels, specialty museums, historic sites and restaurants. This can be a great way for you to get more familiar with your surroundings, explore nature, and become more familiar with the history of Ochelata.
