School Overview

The Healing Lodge of the Seven Nations, located in Spokane, Washington, is a unique residential treatment facility specifically designed to serve Native American and Alaskan Native youth who are struggling with chemical dependency. Founded on the principle of "healing through culture," the center integrates clinical therapy with traditional Indigenous practices. By centering their recovery program on tribal values, spirituality, and a connection to community, the facility provides a culturally responsive environment that addresses both the physical and emotional needs of their residents.

Beyond substance abuse treatment, the Healing Lodge operates as an educational and therapeutic community that prioritizes holistic well-being. The program emphasizes self-discovery and the reclamation of cultural identity as core components of long-term recovery. By offering a structured, supportive atmosphere that honors traditional heritage, the Healing Lodge serves as a vital resource for young people looking to overcome addiction while fostering a deep, restorative connection to their roots and their future potential.
