Serving the Eastern Shoshone Tribal Community

The Eastern Shoshone Recovery Program specifically serves Native American individuals and families dealing with substance use disorders, recognizing the unique cultural, historical, and social factors that influence addiction and recovery within tribal communities. Their approach acknowledges that effective treatment for Native Americans often requires addressing historical trauma, cultural disconnection, and the specific challenges faced by reservation communities.

While specific details about age ranges and particular substance use disorders treated aren’t readily available, the program’s cultural foundation suggests they work with clients across the spectrum of addiction challenges while maintaining their commitment to providing care that strengthens rather than diminishes cultural identity and community connections.
