Native American-Focused Addiction Treatment Center Planned In Montana

A new inpatient residential addiction treatment center is being planned in Montana by representatives from seven Native American tribes, alongside Montana urban Indian organizations. The groups recently met to form a new non-profit, Red Shield 8 Nations, which will design, own, and operate the facility on behalf of the governing tribes.  

The facility is expected to have 32 beds and aims to address the need for culturally relevant and affordable inpatient addiction care. According to KTVH 12- NBC, the facility will offer American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM) Level 3.7 (inpatient) and Level 4 (medical detox) care. . . .
