Osage Nation Breaks Ground on New Counseling Center Complex

Yesterday, Osage Nation broke ground on construction for the new Counseling Center Complex that will include approximately 22,500 sq. ft. building related infrastructure with five new facilities: Men’s PRT facility (approximately 4,500 square feet), Women’s PRT facility (approximately 4,000 square feet), Adolescent PRT (approximately 6,000 square feet), Men’s and Women’s Transitional Living (approximately 3,000 square feet), and Outpatient Building (approximately 5,000 square feet).

The Osage Nation Counseling Center is comprised of a multidisciplinary team focusing on comprehensive services specific to women, men, children, and adolescents. Counseling services include: mental health, substance use, marriage and family, school-based, and trauma-focused. Peer recovery and case management services include: assistance with legal problems, medical care, social services, financial training, social support, housing assistance, literacy training, and education needs. Residential services include: a 60-day treatment focusing on relapse prevention, anger management, Wellbriety, the 12-steps, and trauma, with an emphasis on cultural connection. 

$15,399,736 million of American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds were appropriated for the purchase and development of the property. ARPA funds were used due to behavioral health needs and public health impacts exacerbated by the pandemic. Outpatient services are available to all members of the community, while residential services are exclusively available to members of any federally recognized Tribe.
