Indigenous Wellbriety is a Native-led, community-based peer recovery organization serving the Four Corners and southwest Colorado. Our Indigenous Peer Recovery Coaches are trained in the Wellbriety model (White Bison, Inc.) and offer support grounded in lived experience with substance use, mental health, and systemic challenges. We provide peer support, resource advocacy, and opportunities for community service and volunteering.
We also collaborate with the Sih Hasin Street Medicine program to reach and support our unhoused relatives.
We’re excited to now offer Youth Programming, including weekly Youth Talking Circles every Monday after school at Southwest Open High School, led by our Indigenous Peer Recovery Coaches for Youth.
We work in partnership with communities in Montezuma County and surrounding Tribal Nations, including Ute Mountain Ute, Navajo Nation, and Southern Ute. This work is made possible through generous grant support and our fiscal sponsor, Team UP of Southwest Colorado.
Indigenous Wellbriety provides a space for those in substance abuse recovery or seeking recovery, with compassion, cultural identity, and utilizing the Wellbriety model by White Bison.
A community of inclusivity, immersed in cultural awareness, family and respect for diversity for people in recovery from substance use and/or addiction, including mental health awareness.
Based on Native American Spiritual Teachings for Adults & Youth Peer Support - Our Coaches have walked the path to healing from trauma, mental health and substance misuse to support you on your path.

Indigenous Wellbriety collaborates with Sih Hasin Street Medicine Program for Street Outreach. Sih Hasin, operated by Northern Navajo Medical Center, is a street medicine mobile health care program for those experiencing homelessness. Their mobile clinic offers physical exams, wound care, and treatment of acute and chronic medical conditions. The clinic also offers COVID-19 testing and vaccines.
