The Indian Health Service is working to open a dozen new treatment centers to address substance abuse in Indian Country. Among myriad programs and prison, treatment centers—sometimes called rehabilitation centers—offer all-day programming, therapy and place to detox. How does a person know they need to go to a treatment center? What happens there? What are the steps to recovery?

Beverly Miller (Cherokee) – director for the California Area Indian Health Service
Mike Tisdale – clinical supervisor and councilor at the Northwest Indian Treatment Center.
Rebecca Ling – director of recovery services at the Cook Inlet Tribal Council
