Resource Links
A large portion of our Resource Links are to sites we believe may be helpful in the fight against alcoholism which threatens the existance of many individuals, families and nations; but particularly Native American Indians. Websites, policies and programs change so we encourage you to use your own best judgement in regard to any particular website.
Alcohol and Drug Abuse Resources
Al-Anon and Alateen is a resource to help families and friends of alcoholics recover from the effects of living with the problem drinking of a relative or friend. Alateen is the recovery program for young people. Alateen groups are sponsored by Al-Anon members.
Fetal Alcohol Syndrome Community Resource Center is focused on PREVENTION: Primary prevention raises awareness in the general population to reduce the incidence of Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FASD). Secondary prevention focuses on women at high risk - those who have already had a child with FASD. Tertiary prevention focuses on reducing the incidence of secondary conditions associated with FASD.
The Native American Indian General Service Office of Alcoholics Anonymous functions to provide a vision of recovery, unity and service to the more than 500 sovereign Indian Nations in North America, which are recognized by state governments and the Federal Government. NAIGSO-AA recognizes the need for each Nation, tribe, and band to honor their spiritual customs and traditions and to base recovery on those living principles.

The National Directory of Drug and Alcohol Abuse Treatment Programs is a listing of U.S. Federal, State, local and private facilities that provide substance abuse treatment services. It includes treatment facilities that are licensed, certifieds, or otherwise approved for inclusion in the directory by their State substance abuse agencies and that responded to the 2006 National Survey of Substance Abuse Treatment Services (N-SSATS). For each facility, the Directory indicates whether special programs are provided for specific types of clients such as adolescents, pregnant women, hearing impaired, and non-English speaking clients. Information is also provided about the type of care offered such as residential or outpatient care. The forms of payment accepted by each facility are also listed.
White Bison, Inc. is an American Indian non-profit organization based in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Founded by Don Coyhis, Mohican Nation, White Bison has offered healing resources to the Native American community nationwide since 1988. Many non-Native people also use White Bison's resources, attend its learning circles, and volunteer their services.
