In this work, we outline the necessary components for culturally responsive treatment to opioid use disorders in Indigenous communities. First, we examine the context of historical trauma faced by Indigenous groups in the U.S. and how this context may affect successful implementation of treatment. We then outline the strategies of Penobscot Nation and Little Earth in developing holistic treatment regimens for Indigenous peoples, and list policy interventions suited to improve outcomes for Indigenous groups related to opioid use disorders. We conclude with suggestions for future directions in anticolonial strategies for addressing opioid use in Indigenous communities. The combination of culturally responsive treatment, tribal sovereignty in the treatment of opioid use disorders, and effective resource allocation is necessary to affect positive change in Indigenous substance use trajectories
