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. Reversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more likely to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Nearly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native substance abuse treatment admissions show up to treatment as criminal justice clients, which means they have very likely accepted a court ordered diversion program to receive treatment in lieu of jail times for their charges. So as one can see, there is definitely a need for a variety of service types to cover all of the various needs of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including addiction treatment services in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Ogilvie face is access to effective services, especially those who live in secluded regions. Facilities offering drug and alcohol treatment services in rural regions often are not able to offer support aimed at meeting the needs and demands of this special demographic including addiction treatment services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can work with elders and stakeholders working in mental health services for their tribe or region to determine which treatment services are available to them through which treatment facilities, and which will be most effective for their scenario. There have been numerous grants offered in recent years to help pay for these types of treatment services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effective recovery programs which offer evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive treatment services including those in their language which are provided by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
