Abstract

Black, Latinx, and Native American individuals face substantial health disparities in the experience and treatment of substance use disorders. Innovative culturally modified interventions have been developed to deal with these issues, and they are reviewed in this article. Among these promising approaches, studies involving Oxford House self-run recovery homes have been found to reduce health disparities among Black, Latinx, and Native American groups. More research is needed to identify the mechanisms facilitating successful recovery outcomes among those in recovery.
