About

About Sierra Tribal Consortium Inc Turtle Lodge Recovery Home

Sierra Tribal Consortium, Inc. is a Native American Indian Tribal Organization that represents four federally recognized California tribes: the Big Sandy Rancheria Band of the Western Mono Indians, Cold Springs Rancheria of Mono Indians, North Fork Rancheria of Mono Indians, and the Picayune Rancheria of Chukchansi Indians. Its substance use treatment arm, Turtle Lodge Recovery Home, operates from 610 West McKinley Avenue in Fresno and is licensed by the California Department of Health Care Services (License 100007AN).

Turtle Lodge’s clinical model is grounded in culturally appropriate care for Native American Indian and Alaska Native adults. Phase I, the residential substance use disorder treatment program, is co-ed and provides evidence-based education that incorporates Native American traditions and spirituality to restore wellness and promote healing. Phase II, a transitional living program for women and men, accepts current residents who have successfully completed 120 days of residential treatment, providing up to nine months of safe, drug-free housing while residents pursue employment or education. Capacity in Phase II is intentionally limited to four participants at a time.

In addition to its residential and transitional programs, Turtle Lodge offers a 72-hour non-medical social model withdrawal management/detox option for participants entering residential treatment, plus outpatient programs designed to help individuals and families meet court, Child Protective Services, probation/parole, and Tribal referral needs. The Positive Indian Parenting program — a 12-week NICWA-based curriculum — is offered inpatient and online for participants whose recovery includes parenting goals.

Governance reflects Turtle Lodge’s tribal identity: the organization is led by a Board of Directors of elected representatives of its member tribes. New participants can contact the program at (559) 445-2691 (Fresno) or (559) 272-0691 (Auberry site) to ask about eligibility, screening, and admission preparation. Turtle Lodge’s combination of evidence-based education, Native traditions and spirituality, and family-focused programming makes it a meaningful option for Native American Indian and Alaska Native individuals seeking culturally responsive recovery support.
