Native Directions Inc Three Rivers Lodge

Three Rivers Lodge provides a comprehensive 90-day residential treatment program designed specifically for Native American men facing chemical dependency challenges. This extended timeframe allows participants to fully engage with both clinical therapies and cultural healing practices without the pressure of abbreviated treatment schedules common in shorter-term rehab programs.

The residential treatment combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy with trauma-related counseling, addressing the complex psychological and cultural factors that contribute to substance abuse within Native American communities. Participants live on-site throughout their treatment, creating a supportive recovery community that extends beyond individual therapy sessions.

What sets Three Rivers Lodge apart from conventional addiction treatment centers is its integration of spiritual and traditional education within the recovery process. This culturally-centered approach recognizes that effective treatment for Native American men must honor indigenous healing traditions while incorporating modern therapeutic methods.

The facility creates space for traditional practices alongside clinical interventions, allowing participants to reconnect with cultural identity as part of their recovery journey. This dual approach helps men develop coping strategies rooted in both ancestral wisdom and contemporary addiction treatment science.

Recovery extends far beyond residential treatment completion, which is why Three Rivers Lodge provides a structured 90-day aftercare program for all participants. This extended support helps men transition from the intensive residential environment back to their home communities while maintaining the recovery skills and connections developed during treatment.

The facility operates an on-site sober living house, providing transitional housing for men who need additional structure before returning to independent living. This sober living component serves as a bridge between residential treatment and full community reintegration, offering continued peer support and accountability within a culturally understanding environment.

Located on Union Road in Manteca, California, Three Rivers Lodge serves Native American men from San Joaquin County and surrounding areas, including Stockton. The facility's location provides a peaceful setting removed from urban triggers while remaining accessible to families and support systems in the Central Valley region.

Operating Monday through Friday from 9 AM to 4 PM, the center maintains regular business hours for intake coordination and family communication. The Manteca location offers a balance of rural tranquility and proximity to necessary medical and social services that support long-term recovery success.
