Tribe launches meth campaign
By JARED MILLER
Tribune Regional Reporter
ROCKY BOY'S RESERVATION — Alarmed by "epidemic" methamphetamine
addiction here,
the Chippewa-Cree Business Committee last week adopted a get-tough plan
to
curtail the drug and treat those who become addicted.
Leading the charge is the newly created tribal meth advisory committee.
The
12-member panel is tasked with curbing meth's spread across the
reservation,
using a combination of prevention, intervention, treatment and increased
law
enforcement.
The panel also is working to forge alliances with other area tribes and
existing
anti-meth groups.
