The Native Healing Program (NHP) provides substance abuse treatment in Rapid City, South Dakota. They specialize in recovery services for Native Americans and focus on the unique concerns and experiences they may have related to substance use. The services are free with proof of tribal enrollment.

Healing Based on Heritage and Culture

NHP embraces the traditional concepts for treatment known to many Native Americans. They educate on the historical trauma concerns and the effects personal struggles and experiences may have regarding addiction. Their cultural treatment includes smudging and prayer for every session.
