American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to need recovery services for substance abuse and addiction. On the Contrary, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more likely to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Roughly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native addiction treatment admissions arrive to rehab as criminal justice clients, meaning they have very likely accepted a diversion option to receive rehab in lieu of jail times for their charges. So as you can see, there is a definite need for different types of treatment programs to provide services for all of the various needs of this client demographic, including substance abuse treatment programs in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Biscay face is access to comprehensive rehab programs, especially those who live in rural areas. Facilities offering drug and alcohol rehabilitation services in rural regions may not be able to offer support designed to meet the needs and demands of this unique demographic including substance abuse treatment services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can work with stakeholders and elders working in mental health services for their tribe or region to figure out which treatment services are available to them through which treatment facilities, and which will work best for their particular situation. There have been numerous grants offered in recent years to cover these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effectively established recovery programs which provide evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive rehab services delivered in their language which are performed by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
