The Addiction Technology Transfer Centers (ATTCs) play a critical role in advancing our nation's health by equipping healthcare professionals and community organizations with effective tools to address individuals, children, and families impacted by alcohol and drug use. We build local capacity of the behavioral health workforce resulting in treatment that leads to long-term recovery. ATTCs' no-cost services are aligned with national goals to reduce overdose fatalities and combat the opioid crisis while decreasing the burden on criminal justice and social service systems. Training treatment and recovery providers nationwide saves billions in taxpayer dollars, while also fostering safer and healthier communities.

About the Making It Work series Behavioral health organizations across the country are finding creative ways to meet community needs and support their teams, often with limited resources. The virtual Making It Work series highlights those stories. Each session features practitioners who are doing more with less: building equity-driven, recovery-oriented programs that not only serve their communities but also help retain and sustain the people delivering care. Through real-world examples, this series will explore how community-responsive practices—like peer-led models, cultural healing, flexible service delivery, and reflective supervision—can reduce burnout, increase staff satisfaction, and strengthen the behavioral health workforce. About this session This presentation, part 3 in our Making It Work series, explores how Painted Horse Recovery, a Native-led, peer-run organization, supports staff wellness and retention by embedding culture, ceremony, and traditional values into daily operations. By aligning mission, practice, and workforce care, Painted Horse Recovery demonstrates how culturally grounded approaches foster belonging, resilience, and sustainability in recovery-oriented work.
