Tribal Programming
Scottsdale Recovery Center (SRC®) is committed to serving the individual needs of Native American Indian/Alaska Natives suffering from substance abuse and co-occurring disorders with our Native American Drug and Alcohol Treatment Program. Scottsdale Recovery Center’s unwavering position in offering a strategic and methodical approach to full dimensional wellness is established on a culture of compassion, respect, and support. Our culturally conscious components offer therapeutic interventions that combine traditional healing and evidence-based practices that elevate the industry standard. Respect and support of the intricacies and innate qualities of Native American Indian populations is our principal dynamic as we provide access to clinically sound and culturally appropriate treatment services.
Scottsdale Recovery Center’s providers are conscious of the unique dynamics associated with case management needs such as limited access to transportation, spirituality and access to cultural/religious practices, housing and environmental influence, financial literacy, educational and occupational opportunities in addressing all elements of overall wellness.
Scottsdale Recovery captures the intricacies of native populations while navigating the recovery process in alignment with all indigenous communities, returning the people to an original state so they can flourish in their homelands.
Addiction Doesn’t Discriminate
There is no prejudice in addiction. The disease rips through communities of all color, creed, religion and nationality. One could say that addiction is an equal opportunity hater, because there’s no love in drug or alcohol dependency to the user or loved ones of those afflicted. However, research and case studies show an alarming predisposition to addiction in indigenous peoples across the United States. In Arizona, it is evident. Despite the wealth of knowledge in how environment, genetics and social behaviors play a heavy role in the disease, the problem is escalating.
We know the Native American people deserve better. This is where Scottsdale Recovery Center® brings it all home.

Despite being more likely to die of liver disease, Native Americans are far less likely to make the transplant list than Whites
Drug Dependency Increases Chronic Illness and Mortality Rates
Excessive and/or long-term drug intake create a physiological imbalance, compromising overall health and reducing the body’s natural ability to heal. These are the effects of chemical dependency in anyone using prescription, illicit or recreational drugs. But there are other circumstances within tribal nations that exacerbate the cycle of addiction and the difficulty in getting help.
Underemployment, underwhelming living conditions and lack of available healthcare services that support wellness often leave the peoples in this community without the resources necessary to find another way, let alone have a choice in experiencing a better life.
Collectively, it leads many to an existence where alcohol and drugs are primary coping mechanisms to mask the overwhelming pain felt on mental, physical and spiritual levels.
Mental Illness and Alcoholism
People with alcohol use disorder (AUD) have an increased risk in developing a mental health condition, such as depressive, bi-polar and anxiety disorders. When drug or alcohol dependency occurs simultaneously with a mental illness, it is referred to as a co-occurring disorder or dual diagnosis. Whether the mental health issue led to self-medicating or drug addiction created the mental disease, those who live with dual diagnosis, left untreated, struggle immensely.
Alcoholism within the Native American community is more prevalent than in the general population, and according to the Centers for Disease Control, makes them more prone to develop diabetes and kidney failure.
- 2x more likely to have diabetes than Caucasians
- Diabetes causes kidney failure in 2 of 3 Native Americans
- Even though there are many advancements in the fields of neuroscience, the harm to North America’s indigenous people continue.

SWEAT LODGE
A sweat lodge ceremony is a powerful and deeply meaningful traditional American Indian practice designed for purification, spiritual renewal, and serves as a natural connection between the physical and the spiritual. The structure itself is a dome- shaped hut made with natural materials called the “lodge”, and the ceremony performed within it is often referred to as purification ceremony or simply referred to as a “sweat”
The “sweat” is a time for prayer and healing. The ceremony is traditionally led by an elder who possesses knowledge of their culture’s language, songs, traditions, and safety protocols Their guidance ensures the ceremony’s proper execution.
