At Aliya Native American Program, we provide culturally sensitive treatment for American Indians and Alaska Natives struggling with substance use disorders, co-occurring disorders, and mental health conditions. Formerly known as Aliya, our program has grown into a specialized treatment facility and recovery center that blends traditional healing practices with modern behavioral health therapies.

Our treatment centers are more than just places for care—they are spaces where Native American culture, identity, and community health are honored throughout the treatment process. By incorporating both Native American traditional practices and research-based care, we offer a treatment experience that restores balance in body, mind, and spirit.

Honoring Culture in Treatment

The Aliya curriculum emphasizes traditional native and cultural and spiritual healing practices that have guided Indigenous people for generations. patients may participate in sweat lodges, talking circles, storytelling, and the Red Road to Wellbriety, a framework created by White Bison to support sobriety and cultural reconnection. These practices strengthen recovery and create lasting connections to tradition and identity.

We also acknowledge the impact of boarding school trauma and historical disconnection, and we integrate education, cultural support, and Indigenous teachings into the recovery process. By walking the Red Road, patients rediscover pride in heritage while building new coping skills for recovery.

Comprehensive Treatment Programs

Every client’s journey is unique, which is why our treatment programs provide a continuum of care through both adult programs and outpatient programs. Levels of care include:

  • Detox Program – Medically supported services to manage withdrawal from alcohol and drug use.
  • Residential Treatment – Immersive addictions treatment in a structured, supportive environment rooted in both modern therapies and traditional healing.
  • Partial Hospitalization & Outpatient Programs – Flexible care that allows patients to continue work, family, or cultural responsibilities while participating in structured recovery.
  • Continuing Care & Recovery Programs – Long-term support through alumni services, community-based groups like Alcoholics Anonymous, and ongoing substance abuse treatment resources.

Our treatment facility also functions as a wellness center, providing whole-person healing and emphasizing lifelong recovery.

Integrating Tradition with Evidence-Based Care

Our curriculum brings together traditional healing and modern therapy. patients may engage in behavioral health approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and trauma-informed counseling, alongside Native American traditional practices. This balance allows us to address the root causes of substance abuse, treat alcohol and drug dependency, and support individuals through co-occurring disorders.

Through collaboration with Indian Health systems, tribal leaders, and cultural advisors, we ensure our program reflects the lived experiences of American Indians and Alaska Natives while offering proven clinical effectiveness.
