Tribal programs for individuals with addictions

[Breedlove:]
Alcohol and drug dependency and substance abuse is still a problem that we combat. Within our facility, we have a behavioral health group that—mental health providers—that provide addiction counseling and substance abuse counseling.
[Lindberg:]
But I mean community is terribly important in these matters.
[Breedlove:]
Very much so, and we also do have a recovery house that the tribe has been putting together to help people as a halfway house, that are trying to overcome these addictions, and they’re able to bring them together and hopefully move through it. It has had a lot of success, and a lot of the peer groups that our behavioral health team put together had a lot of success in assisting people overcome those addictions.
