Summary

This study tests a 6-week group program called Indigenous Recovery Planning (IRP) for American Indian adults with alcohol or drug use disorder. The program is led by trained community members and includes culturally adapted exercises to prevent relapse. Researchers want to see if this approach helps reduce substance use and related problems.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Indigenous Recovery Planning (behavioral intervention)
What this could lead to
If effective, this program could provide a culturally tailored, community-driven approach to reduce substance use and improve recovery outcomes in Native communities.
What could go wrong
This is a relatively small, single-site trial, and results may not generalize to other settings. The intervention is behavioral, so individual responses may vary.
