At Best Drug Rehabilitation, we endeavor to meet the specific needs of each client. To that end, we offer the Indigenous Track, a plan of recovery designed for Native Americans and for those who follow the beliefs and customs of Native Americans.
Program Led by Wellbriety Circle Fire-Starter
Centered on materials developed by White Bison Inc. for the Native American Wellbriety movement, the Indigenous Track at Best Drug Rehabilitation core materials include “Meditations with Native American Elders”, “The Medicine Wheel and 12 Steps” and “The Red Road to Wellbriety in the Native American Way”. Extensive use is made of Talking Circles and the program is led by a licensed Native American White Bison-certified counselor who is also a Wellbriety Circle Fire-starter.
Who Will Benefit from the Native American Track?
1. Native Americans who wish to regain health and sobriety through traditional teachings and ceremony.
2. Clients not receptive to typical drug rehab programs, or uncomfortable in a Christianity-based environment. While not resistant to spiritual teachings, these addicts are seeking their own paths to recovery.
3. Recovering addicts who are interested in adding a dimension to their current rehab with alternative practices and spiritual counseling.

Native American Track Includes Sweat Lodge Ceremonies
The approach to Native American addiction recovery at Best Drug Rehabilitation is holistic. The whole person is treated. This includes emotional well-being and physical health as well as mental and spiritual aspects. Recovering addicts reconnect with their spiritual roots, participating in cultural activities including Sweat Lodge ceremonies.
Past traumas and present challenges are dealt with at Best Drug Rehabilitation. For example, many Native American clients at Best Drug Rehabilitation treatment centers have been negatively impacted by the Indian Boarding School Era, even if they weren’t personally involved. This is due to inter-generational trauma, when a past event has ramifications far into the future.
With the Indigenous Track, patients are assisted in finding their way back to “Mino Mikana”, or the “Good Path”. The recovering addict acquires coping tools and develops support groups to promote long-term recovery and is also in a position to join Wellbriety Circles in their area. Full participation in other Native American Wellbriety Movement activities by all graduates of the Indigenous Track is strongly encouraged as a method to enhance and sustain the new lifestyle of wellness and sobriety.
