American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to need rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. On the Contrary, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more prone to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Almost 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native drug and alcohol treatment admissions show up to treatment as criminal justice clients, meaning they have most likely accepted a diversion option to go to rehab instead of jail time. So therefore, there is definitely a need for different types of treatment programs to cover all of the very unique needs of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including addiction treatment programs in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Gakona face is access to comprehensive rehab programs, particularly those who reside in rural areas. Facilities offering substance abuse rehab services in rural regions often are not able to offer strategic planning intended for the needs and demands of this unique group of people including substance abuse treatment services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can consult with elders and stakeholders working in mental health services for their region or tribe to determine which services are available to them through which rehab facilities, and which ones will be most effective for their scenario. There have been many grants approved in recent years to help pay for these types of treatment services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effectively established recovery programs which offer evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive recovery services including those in their language which are provided by bi-lingual staff members.
