Native America Calling: Support for opioid addiction recovery
Wednesday, July 21, 2021
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says 2020 was the worst year on record for drug overdose deaths. The number jumped by nearly 30% from the year before.
Medically assisted treatment remains one of the standards for opioid treatment and a public benefit corporation is working with tribes to build a model of equitable options for Native people.
In addition, the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe is providing options like employment training to help support those recovering from addiction.
