A Native American treatment program for substance abuse makes a profound difference in restoring health and hope. Individuals battling alcohol and drug addiction often don’t know where to look or don’t know there’s a program for them. Aliya Health Group’s Native American Program (NAP) for substance abuse leads to deep restoration and trauma resolution.
These cultural practices play a vital role in revitalizing Indigenous identity and igniting the desire for recovery. During our Native American program, trained facilitators incorporate ancestral healing rituals and tribal teachings. In doing so, we can provide a safe and therapeutic space for both Native and non-Native clients seeking culturally competent addiction support. Our unwavering commitment is to offer compassionate assistance that respects diverse backgrounds and promotes a sense of belonging.
Today, Native Americans have the highest rates of substance use disorders (SUD). Specifically, cocaine, alcohol, marijuana, and hallucinogenic usage rates are especially high amongst Indigenous populations. This is despite the fact they represent only 2% of the U.S.’s population makeup. Certainly, such a statistic goes to show the need for substance misuse healing and training.
Even further, the effects of drug and alcohol usage are widespread and destructive to the Indigenous population. All who get trapped in a cycle of addiction are at risk, but Native Americans are particularly vulnerable. People from Native backgrounds have an ancestry of trauma which makes trauma-focused healing important in rehab. Unresolved issues can exacerbate substance abuse. These include trauma, stress, chronic pain, stereotypes, or poor living conditions.
Yet, another key issue that Native populations may face is a lack of access to quality treatment. This is especially relevant considering the low number of addiction rehab programs designed to follow culturally proficient rituals. Oftentimes, Indigenous pain and hurting are written off or overlooked. We’re committed to seeing all people who are struggling with illness find help. To help you understand the dangers of drug and alcohol addiction, and how to recognize the signs of substance misuse to watch for.
Substance abuse in Indigenous communities gives rise to various detrimental consequences, such as violence, fractured families, elevated dropout rates, financial hardships, and tragically, suicide. To limit the risk of substance abuse it’s important to know the signs and symptoms of addiction. In doing so, you can better understand and identify the signs in yourself or those you think might be struggling.
With that being said, different substances affect people in different ways. For instance, stimulant abuse can lead to patterns of rapid speech, manic energy, and agitation, while opioid abuse may cause drowsiness, slowed breathing, and a lack of coordination.
Common signs of addiction include:
Addiction can impact anyone, regardless of their background or circumstances. Over time, addiction can deteriorate a person’s quality of life over time lead to financial problems, legal issues, and physical health complications. It can also cause strain on relationships with family, friends, and significant others. It’s also important to understand that addiction is a disease. It’s not just a matter of willpower or simply making better choices.
If you suspect that you or someone you know is struggling with addiction, it’s essential to seek help as soon as possible. Addiction is a complex disease that requires professional treatment, and the longer it goes untreated, the more damaging its effects can be. Thankfully, there are treatment options designed to help Native Americans find comfort in traditional healing.

Recovering from addiction requires a total lifestyle adjustment. A complete transformation — from suffering in a cycle of addiction to freedom in sobriety — is possible! But it’s achieved through breaking down past trauma and the reasons for one’s addiction. It starts with replacing unhealthy habits, managing triggers, and developing stronger self-confidence.
For much of history, Native Americans have been forced to cope with their struggles in ways that don’t resonate. Members of the Native population deserve to live a life filled with their ancestry and traditions. The same is especially true regarding their experience of healing from substance abuse. As such, we provide a specialty program treatment track for Native Americans.
Our Native American Program (NAP) is structured around culturally sensitive healing practices that target addiction recovery, mental illness, and co-occurring disorders. It’s based on the ceremony of healing to allow for deep inner restoration and a greater connection with one’s heritage.
No one should have to wait to heal, which is why our specialists are available 24/7 to help guide you through the admissions process every step of the way.
In our Native American Program, clients undergo substance abuse recovery by following culturally competent treatment methods. In the process, Native American clients connect to their ancestral roots and unpack the deeper reasons why they use substances. They talk through their struggles and emotions to discover their unhealthy behaviors. Through healing practices, they develop alternate approaches to self-medicating with substances and replace toxic beliefs with self-resilience. In the end, clients break out of their addiction cycle and implement actions that keep them on a fulfilling path.
At Aliya Health Group, we prioritize holistic healing in all our treatment tracks. The same is true for our NAP. Our culturally competent recovery program restores clients’ minds, bodies, and souls. Through each ritual clients engage with, they learn to let their walls down and embrace radical rehabilitation. Additionally, both Native and non-Native clients are welcomed into our NAP. We know that a cultural healing approach greatly benefits all people who are ready to overcome their addiction.
Aliya Health Group offers a full continuum of care within our substance abuse treatment programs for Native Americans and tribal members to help clients achieve long-term sobriety.
Across our nationwide treatment network, we provide drug and alcohol use disorder rehabilitation programs such as:
Our treatment centers provide you with an unparalleled and transformative treatment experience. To do so, we have merged premier facilities across the United States. Our substance use disorder treatment network provides you with unrivaled treatment at every level of care.
Aliya Health Group offers culturally sensitive rehab services and other inclusive treatment protocols. Our staff also provides culturally appropriate alcohol and drug abuse assessments, co-occurring disorder evaluations, and individual and group treatment for each client. As a result, NAP services assist individuals in managing the physical, emotional, and mental challenges that come with overcoming addiction.
Native American healing practices empower the Indigenous community, which has long endured oppression and limitations. To benefit from treatment, clients engage in therapeutic exercises that address their pain and addiction. Our Native American Program (NAP) offers a blend of traditional and alternative therapies in individual and group settings.
Each individual’s treatment plan is tailored in collaboration with their case manager to ensure comfort and personal growth. For those in our Native American program, we integrate tribal teachings and ancestral healing rituals into our therapeutic approach. Clients also participate in traditional, evidence-based therapies, psychoeducation, and peer support groups.
By combining culturally-based services with evidence-based therapy options, we ensure our clients receive the highest level of care for holistic healing. We firmly believe that true recovery stems from addressing all areas of pain and nurturing the entire body.
That’s why our approach to rehab and recovery is holistic, taking into account the well-being of our clients’ minds, bodies, and spirits. Our programming offers a range of culturally-based services that align with the principles of holistic health, including:
NAP groups include educational lectures, open discussions, guest speakers, and coursework presentations shared in a supportive and caring environment. (Note: groups are subject to change.)
The Medicine Wheel and 12-Steps is White Bison’s 12-step recovery group for Native Americans. Participating in culturally-based 12-step programming for addiction helps clients find structure and community within their healing journey. By embracing the teachings of The Medicine Wheel, clients rebuild their connection to a centuries-old tradition based on holistic wellness and spiritual connection.
The Mending Broken Hearts programs through White Bison strengthen deeper healing from intergenerational trauma. This program involves three steps in the process of fostering greater restoration within the Native population. Centering on grief, loss, and Intergenerational Trauma, these healing sessions assist Native Americans in processing their past.
Native American healing practices hold immense value in fostering personal and community healing. These rituals are deeply rooted in indigenous traditions that address the mind, body, and soul through generational wisdom. Our offerings encompass a diverse range of hands-on activities that promote a strong cultural identity throughout the process of recovery.
Our Native American program provides the opportunity to reconnect to tribal teachings and ancestral knowledge to help you cultivate a fulfilling, sober lifestyle. To do so, our program integrates culture with therapeutic activities that help bring you back to a connected state of mind and spirit. Activities such as drum making, beading, and ceremonies incorporate ancestral practices such as sweat lodges give you the tradition you’ve been missing and the comfort of your native culture.
During your time in treatment, you will participate in groups to help you acknowledge and understand historical trauma leading to intergenerational trauma. Our Wellbriety-certified group facilitators teach all of our NAP groups with attention to culture, accuracy, and respect. In doing so, you can begin to honor your culture as a way to help you heal in recovery. As you recover, our team will stand beside you, providing support and guidance long after the formal treatment process has ended.
Beadwork is a form of art therapy that helps clients de-stress, release their minds by centering on their bodies, and create traditional artwork. Beaded pieces often convey messages or tell stories.
Clients further experience the practice of drumming in drum circles. A drum circle is a place for the community to gather and honor traditional Native American music.
Smudging is when an herb such as sage, sweetgrass, or cedar is burned to purify the body. This ritualistic “smoke bath” symbolizes a cleansing of the body, spirit, and mind.
Sweat lodges are domed spaces where clients experience a sauna-like environment of purification. Through sweating, clients physically and figuratively cleanse themselves of toxins and pain. Meditation, storytelling, and discussion are often an element of this practice.
Clients learn about the medicinal and spiritual application of plants and herbs. Not only do they begin to understand the holistic uses behind plants, but they also take a hands-on approach to gardening.
Paddle carving is an act of patience and creation, as clients work on an ongoing project throughout treatment. This long-standing native practice is a lesson in the meaning that comes from enduring through hard work.
To maintain the cultural integrity of our program and foster connections to the community, we partner with local tribes. Through these links, clients find a greater sense of connection to their ancestry. Also, those they meet who are outside of treatment can encourage and inspire their recovery journey. Partnering with tribal communities also eliminates feelings of social isolation in recovery. Clients learn more about the Native peoples in their area. Also, they witness authentic examples of healthy lifestyles being lived out by people from the same background of generational trauma.
At Aliya Health Group, we prioritize holistic healing in all our specialty treatment programs. The same is true for our NAP. Our culturally competent recovery program restores clients’ minds, bodies, and souls. Through each ritual clients engage with, they learn to let their walls down and embrace radical rehabilitation.

Before entering a Native American treatment program for substance abuse, most people have a long list of questions and concerns. To help you gain a better understanding of what to expect during addiction treatment for Native Americans, we have compiled a list of our most frequently asked questions.
Using language like “alcoholics” reinforces a negative bias toward those struggling with substance abuse. However, it’s unfortunate how many people within Native American populations are affected by drug and alcohol addiction. Research found that 10.2% of American Indians over 18 have an SUD, roughly 142,000. Additionally, 52,000 of them had a co-occurring mental illness, either triggered by or worsened by their addiction.
Numerous factors impact why anyone becomes addicted to substances, and equally so in tribal communities. In reality, Native American populations have a longstanding legacy of trauma and abuse that factors into statistics about addiction. Indigenous Americans also face many barriers to receiving care. Having culturally competent treatment options is imperative in making a difference.
Cultural competence refers to the process of following Native American treatment practices. By teaching about ancestral and tribal rituals through offering them as a pivotal aspect of our program, our NAP is culturally competent.
Cultural humility is the posture that we have much to learn from other cultures and their traditions and rituals. We firmly believe Native American healing is valuable and transformative. Operating from a place of cultural humility is crucial in fostering greater connection and kinship.
Culturally proficient care successfully combines all the components of cultural competence and cultural humility. We foster a culturally proficient addiction treatment program by following the guidance of Indigenous teachers and communities and learning more about Native American approaches to healing. Not only do we desire a culturally proficient NAP, but also a safe and transformative space of recovery for all clients.
The Wellbriety movement brings culturally integrative healing from substance abuse to facilities and individuals. Essentially, Wellbriety promotes sharing information about Indigenous healing rituals so the next generations of Native Americans can experience tribal healing. However, the movement is for Native and non-Native people alike.
There are numerous rehab programs available that cater to a range of budgets. Many insurance companies also cover parts or even full costs of treatment for addiction, making it more accessible to individuals in need. Government-funded programs and non-profit organizations offer affordable options too.
Moreover, when considering the cost of inpatient treatment, one must also evaluate its long-term benefits against the ongoing expenses related to addiction – health issues, legal troubles, lost productivity and more. In this sense, investing in inpatient treatment could be seen as an economical choice.
Additionally, some facilities offer sliding scale fees or payment plans that can make treatment more manageable financially. Therefore, while inpatient addiction treatment may initially seem costly, there exist various mechanisms through which it becomes considerably more affordable than one might think. It’s always recommended to research multiple options and speak with professionals who can provide guidance based on your specific situation and resources.
Remember that overcoming addiction is not merely a financial decision but an investment in personal wellbeing and future happiness; no price tag can be placed on a healthy life regained.
White Bison is a nonprofit successfully changing the substance abuse and addiction landscape to provide for Indigenous generations. The Wellbriety movement is supported through White Bison.

Wellbriety-certified facilitators lead the culturally-based Indigenous healing programming in their treatment center. As such, their role is to uphold the values and training of the Wellbriety movement. They also are responsible for leading their team in upholding the high standards of the White Bison organization.
We are proud to work together with knowledgeable Indigenous facilitators to benefit from their expertise in preserving ancestral traditions. In this way, our programming stays accountable and aligned with the tribal approach to holistic wellness.
At Aliya Health Group, we believe in true healing that encompasses the mind, body, and soul. Our treatment practices are centered around a holistic approach, ensuring that every individual who completes our rehab program emerges with a transformed perspective on sobriety. We not only guide clients through the journey of inner healing but also equip them with the tools to lead a fulfilling, substance-free future.
Every person’s journey toward sobriety is unique which is why we offer personalized treatment plans tailored to each individual’s specific needs and circumstances. Our Native American program is an exemplary example of this, incorporating traditional healing practices and cultural teachings to promote overall wellness and connection to one’s heritage. During our culturally-based program, we highlight the importance of traditional Native American healing practices in aiding recovery from addiction. Our staff includes traditional healers and elders who share their wisdom and knowledge with clients during ceremonies and counseling sessions. These cultural activities provide a sense of connection to our client’s heritage.
In addition to our culturally-based teachings, our rehab facilities offer various therapies and activities to help clients cope with cravings, manage stress, and develop healthy coping mechanisms. For instance, during evidence-based therapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), clients learn to challenge and change behaviors while integrating healthy coping skills to promote a lasting recovery. We also incorporate alternative therapies like yoga, meditation, and art therapy to provide a well-rounded treatment experience for Natives and non-Natives alike. Through these holistic services, we aim to address the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual aspects of substance abuse and promote overall wellness.
Aliya Health Group is honored to be a part of White Bison’s Wellbriety Movement through our treatment network, Royal Life Centers. Royal Life Centers is one of only 13 Wellbriety Certified Treatment Centers. For this reason, we proudly offer our Native American Program for clients undergoing treatment in one of our rehab facilities located across the state of Washington.
Our NAP is led by competent and highly experienced indigenous staff and consultants, many of whom are White Bison certified Wellbriety trainers. Wellbriety’s certification allows us to honor the centuries-old traditions of holistic healing in substance use disorder (SUD) treatment. Above all, our Wellbriety-certified treatment centers uphold the principles of integrity, gratefulness, generosity, and respect, by honoring all of our tribal and non-tribal clients.
In collaboration with the Wellbriety movement, Royal’s NAP group facilitators introduce you to Native American healing practices to improve your mental and spiritual well-being. In addition, our Native American Program offers education on the triggers of drug and alcohol abuse and its effects.
Our NAP coordinators are trained in Wellbriety-certified courses including The Medicine Wheel & 12 Steps, Mending Broken Hearts, and the educational materials found in the Red Road to Wellbriety study book. Through Wellbriety’s courses, our NAP instills a stronger understanding of cultural identity while addressing the prevalence of substance use disorders within Native American communities. These groups also aim to dismantle the underlying toxic beliefs resulting from generational trauma to help you heal from addiction.
To ensure authentic recovery for each of our clients, we prioritize the integration of cultural traditions. We believe that incorporating Native American ceremonies, practices, and crafts is vital for honoring their traditions. Addiction treatment for Native American individuals goes beyond evidence-based practices; it requires a foundation rooted in culture, tradition, and values. The essence of Native American culture lies in the spiritual ideology of interconnectedness, which fosters a healthy and harmonious existence.
However, the introduction of European settlers disrupted these cultural practices, causing significant harm to the Native people’s way of life. After enduring years of colonial abuse, many natives struggle to reconnect with their cultural roots.
Our goal is to revitalize this culture of interconnectedness by working with you to reinvigorate your spirit’s connection to your surroundings. By participating in culturally competent care, you can achieve clarity and wholeness on your path to recovery.
I’m glad I never gave up because Royal Life Centers changed my life! I actually look forward to waking up to another day. Unlike other treatment centers, Royal employs plenty of personnel which keeps their client/staff ratio down and helps facilitate meaningful interaction. They have so many classes to offer – I wish I could have taken them all! The group facilitators are passionate about the curriculum, and they will break it down to the roots.

Throughout The Medicine Wheel & 12 Steps, our NAP facilitators educate individuals about alcohol and drug addiction prevention, preparation, and harm-reduction tactics within the framework of Native practices. When integrating recovery into native culture, our group facilitators provide valuable lessons on The Medicine Wheel—a physical representation of Native American beliefs in universal interconnectedness. Through culturally-rooted teachings, we utilize The Medicine Wheel to foster healing from a native perspective.
In Wellbriety’s Mending Broken Hearts program, our NAP group facilitators lead engaging discussions on the generational trauma resulting from historical abuse towards Native Americans.

In doing so, you can begin to honor your culture as a way to help you heal in recovery.

Royal’s NAP group facilitators immerse you within a culturally competent substance abuse disorder treatment process leading to a substance abuse-free and highly resilient lifestyle. All in all, culture is an essential ingredient for a healthy life and living in balance in the spirit and natural world for all people. For Indigenous communities, culture is central to a Native person’s tribal identity, social status, and physical and spiritual existence. In the same way, our Native American Program ensures that each culturally competent course represents the tribal connection to the guiding principles that lead to a spiritual way of life.
Within our culturally competent treatment process, you’ll learn about the essential life principles of native ancestors as a way to learn healthy grieving practices through culturally centered modalities. Our Native American Program also teaches you the importance of prioritizing personal and family commitments, self-care, self-discipline, and loyalty to the self and others. Through the ceremony of healing, we strive to instill genuine feelings of connection as you learn healthy coping mechanisms. As a result, you develop the necessary skills for the purpose of instilling healthy grieving behaviors and self-acceptance.
