The opioid crisis has significantly impacted communities throughout the U.S. However, American Indians/Alaska Natives (AI/ANs) are especially impacted. For example, AI/ANs have the highest rates of diagnosis for opioid use disorders (OUD) and deaths from drug overdose. Highly effective, Federal and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved medications are available for individuals experiencing OUD disorders. However, utilization of medications approved for OUD are less among AI/ANs. This training program provides participants with a general overview of MAT for OUD for this population. Furthermore, discussion will be provided with regard to the culturally appropriate utilization of MAT for AI/ANs who are experiencing OUD disorders. The session will conclude with broader cultural and sociohistorical perspectives for integrating opioid and substance use disorder treatment into medical care and behavioral health for AI/AN communities.
