American
Indian Values
At
Friendship House Association of American Indians,
Inc. the values of the American Indian people provide
the foundation of our treatment philosophy.
- Love,
tolerance and acceptance respect
~
For ourselves
~
For each other
~
For our families
~
For our youth
~
For our elders
~
For harmony in our lives
- Focus
on strengths rather than weaknesses
- Encouragement
of spiritual values
- Value
of life experiences which are rooted in our traditions
and culture
- Honor
for traditional healing practices
While
substance abuse is a treatable disease, many American
Indians do not respond to treatment approaches that
do not incorporate cultural values. At Friendship
House, we integrate American Indian traditional strategies
with proven treatment methods in order to address
the many issues that trap American Indian men and
women in addictive lifestyles.
