American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to require treatment for substance abuse and addiction. Reversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more likely to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Almost 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native drug and alcohol treatment admissions arrive to treatment as criminal justice clients, meaning they have most likely agreed to a court ordered diversion program to go to treatment in lieu of jail times for their charges. So as you can see, there is definitely a need for a variety of service types to cover all of the very unique requirements of this client demographic, including addiction treatment programs in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Casco face is access to effective treatment facilities, especially those who live in rural locations. Programs providing drug and alcohol treatment services in rural regions may not be able to offer strategic planning designed to meet the needs and demands of this special demographic including addiction treatment services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native individuals can consult with elders and stakeholders involved in mental health services for their tribe or region to determine which treatment services are an option for them through which facilities, and which will work best for their particular situation. There have been numerous grants sanctioned in recent years to cover these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effective programs which provide evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive treatment services including those in their language which are performed by bi-lingual staff members.
