About Tule River Indian Health Center
Outpatient substance use counseling is by appointment on weekdays at Tule River Indian Health Center. The program is operated treatment program in Porterville and offers culturally responsive care.
A weekday appointment falls during the work week which is what you plan around if you work. I appreciate that this can cause a hardship on some people with job responsibilities.
Since 1973 the center has served Tulare County's Native American communities in California. The behavioral health department also provides psychiatry and medication management along with mental health evaluations.
Who Qualifies for Care?
I noted that you don't have to be a tribal member to receive treatment here. If you're in the surrounding area Tule River admits adults and youth.
Substance recovery programs cover those ages and behavioral health care covers children, adolescents and adults. A child and an adult can both be seen for behavioral health care so a family isn't split by age for that care.
Paying with Medi Cal
Tule River accepts Medi Cal and can coordinate a referral to care outside the center when you need additional treatment.
If you have Medi Cal that's a payer you can plan costs around although their team can help verify coverage before you begin the program.
The Porterville center is also part of a statewide tribal health collaboration.

Rehabs that offer mountain views provide beautiful spaces for clients to explore, de-stress, and take part in outdoor or wilderness therapy programs. The mountain surroundings can be a great help to the recovery process, as sobriety may be better achieved while surrounded by a serene setting in nature.
Wilderness rehab programs offer all the benefits of a traditional drug rehab, but with the added benefits of outdoor adventure.

In order to maintain a sense of autonomy, many private rehab facilities offer clients the ability to choose their own private rooms. The privacy and personal space ensure that the recovery process is as comfortable as possible.

Benefits include a higher staff-to-client ratio, increased one-on-one time with therapists and healthcare providers, private rooms for clients, and customized forms of therapy.
