Blood Tribe's Groundbreaking Day Treatment Program: A Blend of Tradition and Innovation

It's amazing to see the joy, the contentment, the smiles in these individuals that they haven't been using for over a year and the difference in their demeanor, their behaviors, their attitudes.
Imagine a treatment program that merges ancient cultural wisdom with modern therapeutic practices. That's what the Blood Tribe's day treatment program is all about. Recognized with an Award for Innovation in Mental Health and Addictions Care, this program offers a unique approach to addiction recovery. Terri-Lynn Fox, the program's coordinator, shares her experiences and the day-to-day operations that make this initiative stand out.
From art therapy and support groups to sessions led by elders, the program incorporates a holistic blend of traditional and western methods to foster healing and resilience. The impact is profound—many participants have remained drug- and alcohol-free for over a year. The episode also highlights the crucial role of support from senior management, the CEO, and the board in the program's success.
If you're curious about how innovative approaches can make a real difference in addiction recovery, this episode is a must-listen.
