At Aliya Native Americans Program, we recognize that recovery from substance abuse and mental health challenges involves caring for the whole person, including health and wellness through proper nutrition. Our Nutrition Counseling program provides Native American individuals with personalized nutrition plans designed to support both mental and physical health, promoting long-term recovery and overall well-being.
Personalized Nutrition and Expert Guidance
Each participant works closely with a registered dietitian nutritionist (RDN) or nutrition expert to develop a nutrition plan tailored to their medical history, chronic conditions, food allergies, and health goals. Our counselors focus on creating personalized nutrition plans that are culturally relevant, practical, and effective, ensuring residents receive the guidance they need to maintain a healthy weight and support their recovery journey.
Supporting Recovery Through Nutrition
Proper nutrition is a key component of comprehensive health care and plays a vital role in the management of medical conditions such as heart disease or other chronic conditions. Our program emphasizes:
- Meal planning and preparation strategies to support weight loss and healthy weight maintenance
- Nutrient-rich diets to enhance mental health and wellness
- Education on managing food allergies and dietary restrictions
- Guidance for integrating nutrition with other treatment options
By combining nutrition and dietetics expertise with individualized counseling, participants gain the tools needed to improve physical health, enhance mood, and reduce risks associated with chronic diseases.
