Native American Alcoholism Statistics

American Indian and Alaska Native people face a higher alcohol burden even as prevention and treatment access remains uneven, with alcohol use disorder prevalence at 11.7% in 2015–2019 and alcohol-attributable mortality running 2.4 times the White rate in CDC analyses summarized by SAMHSA. The page connects that gap to real system pressures like longer rural travel for care, limited on site evidence based opioid treatment, and funding and retention challenges that help explain why alcohol misuse still drives outsized deaths, hospitalizations, and social costs.

In 2015 to 2019, alcohol use disorder prevalence among American Indians and Alaska Natives was 11.7 percent, and a 2020 review estimates about 1 in 7 people were living with substance use disorders, with alcohol the most common. Yet access and outcomes do not line up evenly with need, from higher alcohol related mortality and deaths to only 39 percent of communities reporting on site evidence based opioid use disorder treatment and treatment retention sitting around 29 percent at 6 months. Here is what the latest statistics, workforce gaps, and treatment system metrics add up to for Native communities across the country.
