About McAlester Behavioral Health (Wind Horse Counseling)
McAlester Behavioral Health (Wind Horse Counseling), situated in the north-central area of the Choctaw Nation, provides mental health support for individuals, families, and couples. This center addresses various issues, including substance use disorders, anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship difficulties. Native Americans from any federally recognized tribe who possess a CDIB card, tribal membership card, or a letter of descendancy can access services, often at no personal cost. The offerings encompass therapy for all age groups, crisis intervention, and virtual consultations.
The center utilizes several therapeutic modalities, including play therapy aimed at children with special needs, peer support for veterans, and comprehensive case management. These methods empower clients to develop coping mechanisms, enhance their relationships, and foster overall health. With an array of therapeutic services available, the center ensures that each individual receives personalized care that meets their distinct requirements.
Moreover, McAlester Behavioral Health engages in targeted initiatives such as the Tribal Opioid Response grant, which supports individuals impacted by opioid use through medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and cravings. In collaboration with the Warrior Wellness program, they provide culturally relevant resources for Native American veterans, such as equine therapy, family retreats, and peer support. Typically, services are not extended to non-tribal individuals, though there are some limited exceptions.
