Yurok Wellness Programs

The Yurok Wellness Program comprises both residential and outpatient services for Alcohol and Substance Abuse Treatment.

The program concentrates on re-integrating the individual who has or has had alcohol and substance abuse issues back into Yurok Culture and Yurok Tribal life. The Wellness Program's goal is to help Yurok Tribal Members into a crime and drug free lifestyle. Case Managers and Community Workers work with Wellness Program clients to meet the terms and conditions of their probation or parole including and in meeting requirements for substance abuse testing.

Wellness Program clients would petition the Yurok Tribal Court for services and would have to submit to the jurisdiction of the Yurok Tribal Court. Alcohol and substance abuse treatment is available through the Yurok Tribe Wellness Court with the petition by the Yurok Tribal Member to the Yurok Tribal Court .
