Montana opioid settlement funds to support family recovery center on Crow Reservation
Mountain Shadow Association received $150,000 from the Montana Opioid Abatement Trust to support addiction recovery and behavioral health services for families in Lodge Grass
Mountain Shadow Association, a nonprofit serving the Apsáalooke Nation in Lodge Grass, received $150,000 over two years from the Montana Opioid Abatement Trust to support Kaala’s Village, a family healing center focused on addiction recovery and family reunification, according to Native News Online. The center is designed to allow parents to pursue long-term treatment while their children remain nearby instead of entering foster care.
Native News Online reports the funding will support behavioral health services for children and parents participating in Mountain Shadow’s recovery programming. Kaala’s Village will also provide workforce training in construction, agriculture, hospitality, childcare and food processing before families transition into housing and employment. Executive Director Megkian Doyle said the funding will help support a culturally rooted model of healing centered on family and community stability.
