Rosebud Comprehensive Health Care Facility

Rosebud Comprehensive Health Care Facility is in Rosebud, South Dakota and is part of the federal Indian Health Service. The hospital provides comprehensive medical services, including mental health and addiction treatment, and I noticed it has a 16 bed methamphetamine inpatient rehabilitation center on the campus.

The hospital itself has 35 beds and is the main healthcare provider for the Rosebud Sioux (Sicangu Oyate) living around and on the reservation. The programs are for youth ages 11 to 17 and adults 18 and older.

The hospital accepts Tribal/Urban/IHS funding, as well as Medicare, Medicaid and private insurance. There may be some payment assistance programs available. You may need an eligibility check with the Tribal programs or IHS to access treatment.

Employing Traditional Indigenous Practices

It struck me that the hospital employs traditional Sioux practices in the mental health and addiction treatment programs. These include spiritual, physical, and emotional wellness practices with a strong culturally responsive component. Practices include arts and crafts, traditional healing, and inipi or sweat lodge.

Inclusive Addiction and Mental Health Treatment

The staff emphasizes early intervention and prevention programs. They offer inclusive treatment and welcome those in the LGBTQ+ community through support groups and wellness offerings. The center is closely connected to other mental health centers, such as the Wiconi Wakan Health and Healing Center.
