Pdf Summary
The document discusses the Providers Clinical Support System for Medications for Alcohol Use Disorder (PCSS-MAUD), focusing on enhancing healthcare professionals' ability to identify and manage alcohol use disorder in American Indians and Alaska Natives (AI/AN). It covers the unique challenges faced by AI/AN communities, such as military service, injuries, governance issues, and geographical challenges. The importance of Traditional Indigenous Medicine (TIM) and a multidisciplinary approach in treating AUD and substance use disorders is emphasized.<br /><br />AI/ANs account for 2% of the US population, with over 5 million individuals identifying as AIAN in 2021. The AI/AN population faces disparities in various health measures compared to Whites. The document highlights the importance of health coverage for AI/ANs and the role of Medicaid and Marketplace coverage in improving access to services.<br /><br />Moreover, the study discusses the prevalence of substance use disorders among AIAN individuals, including alcohol use, binge alcohol use, heavy alcohol use, and other substance use disorders. It also touches upon the impact of substance use disorder on families, with a particular focus on the increasing rates of parental loss to drug overdose in AI/AN families.<br /><br />Furthermore, the document delves into mindfulness practices, Indigenous presence principles, and the RAIN formula for mindful investigation. It also outlines considerations for medications in treating AUD, including traditional medicine use, withdrawal protocols, and long-term management.<br /><br />In conclusion, the document urges the destigmatization of addiction, support for increased provider capacity for prescribing medications, leveraging traditional medicine, and the importance of recognizing that treating addiction is complex and multidisciplinary. It emphasizes the need to support Tribal and community services and to stay informed regarding new substances and treatment approaches in addressing substance use disorders among AI/AN populations.
