About San Manuel Clinic Indian Health
San Bernardino, California, was home to the San Manuel Clinic – Indian Health. This clinic was part of Riverside-San Bernardino County Indian Health, Inc., a network of nine tribes dedicated to bringing the best quality healthcare to Native Americans and their non-Indian family members. They offered comprehensive care for patients of all ages, including mental healthcare and addiction treatment. While this location is closed, they offer similar services at their nearby location in San Bernardino, California.
A Compassionate Path to Wellness
Getting help can feel overwhelming, but the Behavioral Health Services (BHS) team at Indian Health makes it easier. They offer therapy, psychiatric medication assessments, and even referrals for residential treatment if that’s what’s needed. If you’re struggling with opioid use disorder, medication assisted treatment (MAT) is available to help manage withdrawal and support long-term recovery.
What really stands out here is the way patients are treated. Many patients have shared that doctors take the time to listen, explain options, and make sure no one feels rushed or like just another number. The environment is welcoming, and that kind of care can be life-changing.
Proven Therapy that Teaches Real Coping Skills
I like that they meet people where they are and offer real tools for coping and healing. One method your counselors may use is cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). It’s one of the most popular and proven approaches and can help you reframe negative thoughts.
Trauma-focused CBT guides you through dealing with painful experiences in a structured, supportive way. If you’ve experienced deep trauma, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) is available to help reprocess those memories. Not every addiction treatment center offers EMDR, making it a valuable resource if you need more specialized care.
Every therapy option is evidence based. And your counselors will respect both your personal experiences and cultural background, creating a space where healing feels meaningful.
Convenient and Affordable Care
Not only do they accept private insurance, but their Patient Services team will help you apply for Medi-Cal or Medicare. They also provide no-cost services to eligible patients. With their strong commitment to compassionate care, San Manuel Indian Health Clinic continues to be a trusted place for healthcare.
Addiction Treatments
Levels of Care
Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.
Treatments
The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.
Drug rehab in California teaches participants constructive ways to stay clean and sober. Treatment revolves around helping individuals stop using the substance they are addicted to and learn healthy habits to avoid relapse.
Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.
Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.
Programs
Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.
Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.
Clinical Services
Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.
