What we offer
Recovery Mentoring
Painted Horse Recovery provides free Native-based substance use recovery peer services to adults. All peer services are delivered by Certified Recovery Mentors. Peer Mentors are individuals with at least two-years of abstinence who use their recovery experience to help others achieve recovery by developing a recovery lifestyle, overcome barriers, set/achieve goals, reconnect with their culture, and support individuals in becoming self sufficient.
Community
Here at Painted Horse, we are committed to supporting Native American adults in the community in building their recovery skills and creating a safe space to engage in cultural activities by embracing our traditional ways. There will be drumming, drum making, taking care of the hides from the animals (our relatives) to make the drums, native based sobriety meetings, a place to connect with other Natives Americans on a similar journey that are walking the red road and healing from past traumas that we suffer from in the Native American community. This recovery center is an alcohol and drug free space, to ensure safety for all who attend. We are committed to assisting our community in finding a Native American based traditional way in obtaining and sustaining long term sobriety.

Events
At Painted Horse we provide culturally specific events. Reconnecting with our traditional values in a modern society can increase our community's chance at recovery. Painted Horse provides an opportunity for Native’s to use culture as a means to support their road to sobriety. Respecting our Elders, Women, Children and Nature while utilizing the medicines and healing ceremonies given to us from Creator are pertinent in achieving a healing circle at Painted Horse. Through culture and the medicines given to us by the creator, we will unlearn who we are supposed to be and become who we are.
The Results
Painted Horse has been able to support over 240 people in sustaining recovery and help them connect to culture.
