Philosophy Statement:
Substance Abuse is no respecter of persons, places, or cultures.  It is an ever-widening, ever-deepening plague that steals youth, innocence, self-respect, and life itself.  In its wake, it leaves broken dreams, and broken families.  Left unchallenged, the results of ever expanding substance abuse can bring down communities and nations.  The staff of the Butterfly Drop-In Center, (an integral part of Rainbow Treatment Center) recognizes this threat to the White Mountain Apache communities and continues to improve and expand its substance abuse treatment and support programs for recovery and well-being.  The clients at the BDIC experience and “feel” the concern for their lives, families, and their recovery.  Standing together, the staff and clients of BDIC represent the “best of the best” in turning the tide of substance abuse and helping to promote wellness.
