WELLBRIETY at Healing Rock Recovery
Culturally Rooted Healing for Long-Term Recovery
How does Healing Rock’s Wellbriety Program work?
Healing Rock Recovery offers Wellbriety as part of our integrated approach to substance use and mental health treatment. Wellbriety is a culturally based, holistic healing movement rooted in Native American teachings. It blends traditional Indigenous practices with modern, evidence-based recovery methods to support spiritual, emotional, mental, and physical wellness.
The term “Wellbriety” combines wellness and sobriety, emphasizing not just abstinence from substances, but a balanced, purposeful life grounded in Indigenous values. Central to this approach is the Medicine Wheel, which represents the four directions of healing—mind, body, spirit, and emotions—and the interconnectedness of all living things.
Wellbriety is especially meaningful for Native American and Alaska Native individuals seeking culturally relevant care that honors their heritage and traditions. However, the program is open to anyone who resonates with its principles of respect, humility, truth, and interconnected healing.
At Healing Rock, we incorporate Wellbriety into our Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP), Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP), and Virtual Treatment services. Clients experience healing through talking circles, ceremony, storytelling, and traditional teachings, alongside therapies such as CBT, DBT, and trauma-informed care.
This culturally responsive approach empowers individuals to heal from addiction, address intergenerational trauma, and rebuild a sober life rooted in identity, community, and spiritual connection.
