Yankton Sioux Tribe Canku Teca
The Yankton Sioux Tribe Canku Teca Substance Abuse Program, located in Lake Andes, South Dakota, has been providing culturally specific treatment for Native American adults struggling with chemical dependency since 1972. With a capacity of twenty beds and round-the-clock client house coverage, the program offers a range of services including alcohol and drug use assessments, individual counseling, intensive outpatient treatment, probation pretrial UA testing, referral services, aftercare, and DUI first offender's courses. Under the guidance of Ron Sully, a Yankton Sioux Tribal Member and the Treatment Center Director, the program emphasizes the renewal of traditional cultural practices to improve the well-being of its clients. The staff and counselors have been trained in the Red Road Approach, an Indigenous culturally specific chemical addiction philosophy that promotes holistic health. The program also incorporates culturally specific treatment activities and traditional ceremonies, utilizing a twenty-four-foot teepee and a Sweat Lodge for those who wish to follow traditional ways.Generated from the website
