About Northern Valley Indian Health Inc

Northern Valley Indian Health is a community health organization based in Willows, California, that serves Native Americans and anyone else in the community through medical, dental, behavioral health, and outreach services. Their Substance Use Program offers outpatient care for adults and adolescents, followed by an aftercare phase, and their Willows clinic also provides Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) alongside addiction medicine and pain management. They put a strong emphasis on culturally responsive care that treats clients with dignity and respect, within a structured setting that builds responsibility and accountability. They accept Medi-Cal, Medicare, and other insurance.

In outpatient treatment, adults typically attend one hour-long individual session each week, and adolescents meet weekly in either a group or one-on-one format. Sessions can be added when that would help, and the program continues for as long as it is useful to the client. Aftercare is open both to people who finish the outpatient program and to those who have completed inpatient treatment somewhere else. Alongside assessments, primary and group counseling, and substance use education, they offer family programs, prevention services, referral support, 12-step meetings, a cultural mentor, and Red Road to Wellbriety, a recovery path rooted in Native American traditions.
