Taos Pueblo has been operating a TOR program for four years, and would like to expand programming for the Taos Pueblo community. Taos Pueblo is seeing an increase in Fentanyl use, and needs to increase education and awareness for community, tribal programs, and vulnerable populations. Taos Pueblo would like to re-establish the "Tiwa Time" programming, a highly successful community-based prevention and intervention program that was greatly interrupted during the pandemic. Taos Pueblo would also like to address the challenge that OUD clients have when they are returning from inpatient treatment, or are in substandard (or no) housing. Many individuals are relapsing when they return home from treatment, or can not escape the living conditions that encourage substance misuse. Providing supportive and supervised Recovery Housing would greatly support people in their recovery. Taos Pueblo will also continue to provide group and individual counseling sessions for OUD clients. With the network of Public Health programming provided through the Division of Health and Community Services at Taos Pueblo, the TOR program will continue to be an integral part of the movement to address OUD, but not the sole programming. There is strength in numbers.
