American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to need rehabilitation for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. Conversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more likely to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Nearly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native substance abuse treatment admissions show up to rehab as criminal justice clients, which means they have most likely accepted a court ordered diversion program to go to treatment instead of jail time. So as you can see, there is an absolute need for different types of treatment programs to cover all of the various needs of this client demographic, including substance abuse treatment programs in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Anoka face is access to comprehensive services, especially those who live in rural locations. Programs providing substance abuse rehabilitation services in rural areas often are not set up to provide strategic planning designed to meet the needs of this distinctive group of people including addiction treatment services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native individuals can consult with stakeholders and elders working in mental health services for their tribe or region to figure out which types of treatment services are an option for them through which facilities, and which ones will work best for their particular situation. There have been numerous grants approved in recent years to help pay for these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effective programs which offer evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive rehab services including those in their language which are performed by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
