Behavioral health services offered at the Behavioral Health Clinic includes mental health assessment and treatment, substance abuse assessment and treatment, psychiatric evaluation, medication services, social services and discharge planning services.
Counseling services are offered to individuals, couples, groups and families. We use a diverse approach to treatment including the family systems approach, cognitive behavioral therapy, play therapy and relapse prevention.
Medication Services include: initial psychiatric evaluation to determine if psychotropic medications are indicated; patient education concerning purpose, benefits, potential adverse reactions, side effects and risks of not taking medication; prescription of psychotropic medications; regular patient monitoring to assess benefits, adverse reactions, side effects of prescribed medication; refills of psychotropic medication after appropriate medical review; and discontinuation of psychotropic medications when indicated.
In crisis situations, individuals may be seen on a walk-in basis. Consultations are done at the request of the medical provider for patients in the Emergency Room, Inpatient, and in the Outpatient Clinic. The Department accepts referrals from many sources including Sage Memorial Medical Providers, Area Schools, the Navajo Courts, NNRBHA, Navajo Nation Division of Social Services, State and Tribal Probation, and self-referred walk in patients.
