Native Americans resolve alcohol use disorder: “Whatever it takes or all that it takes”.

Conclusions: NAs resolved AUD via multiple methods and efforts. What worked for one individual did not necessarily work the first time or for another individual. Although some motivators or actions were unique to NAs, others were similar to findings in the general population. Because multiple and varied motivations and actions may be required to resolve AUD, individuals with AUD and their loved ones should persevere in their efforts to make positive changes. Future research should examine other NA tribal regions and NA remission from drug use disorder. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2019 APA, all rights reserved)
