Indigenous Recovery Planning for American Indians

Randomized Controlled Trial of Indigenous Recovery Planning for American Indians

This research project uses a Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR) framework to test the efficacy of a culturally adapted relapse prevention intervention developed collaboratively by community partners from the Fort Peck Indian Reservation in northeastern Montana and research partners from Montana State University. The Indigenous Recovery Planning intervention employs trained Fort Peck community members to deliver manualized intervention content to American Indian adults with substance use disorder (SUD). By increasing access to culturally responsive evidence-based treatment, this research aims to decrease SUD-related health disparities and improve public health outcomes for underserved Native communities locally and nationally.

Inclusion Criteria:

• American Indian, 18 years of age or older, living on the Fort Peck reservation, meeting diagnostic criteria for Substance Use Disorder, wanting treatment/help with recovery.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Not meeting inclusion criteria.
