The Healing Lodge of the Seven Nations is a non-profit organization based in Spokane Valley, Washington. It is a residential treatment center specializing in adolescent chemical dependency treatment, with a 45-bed capacity and a team of 39 employees.

These programs serve males and females aged 13 to 17 and typically last between 90 and 120 days.
