Lending a helping hand to our neighbors on Pine Ridge Reservation

Anpetu Luta Otipi

Anpetu Luta Otipi is an alcohol and drug treatment center started in 1980, initially to treat adolescents only. They now provide both inpatient and outpatient services for male and female adults as well as male and female adolescents ages 12 to 17.

Anpetu Luta Otipi is tribal run and federally funded; however, their funding does not cover all of their expenses. They can use our help with many types of donations and supplies.

The traditional Lakota values of generosity, wisdom, courage, respect and bravery are strongly emphasized and guide all aspects of the program. These values provide the foundation for a healthy, alcohol/drug-free lifestyle. Anpetu Luta Otipi provides treatment needs assessments, treatment planning, individual counseling, group counseling, family services, and client education.

They have a 10-bed inpatient facility and provide aftercare for up to 24 months following completion of residential or outpatient treatment. They provide care for an average of ten inpatient residents each month, for a 30-day treatment course, plus numerous outpatients.
