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. Reversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more prone 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 arrive to treatment as criminal justice clients, which means they have very likely agreed to a diversion option to receive treatment instead of jail time. So therefore, there is a definite need for a variety of service types to provide services for 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 Walker face is access to comprehensive rehab programs, particularly those who reside in rural regions. Programs offering drug and alcohol treatment services in rural regions may not be able to offer support designed to meet the needs and demands of this distinctive group of people including addiction treatment services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can work with stakeholders and elders working in mental health services for their tribe or region to determine which types of treatment services are an option for them through which facilities, and which will best suit their needs. There have been many grants approved in recent years to cover these types of treatment services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effectively established programs which provide evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive recovery services delivered in their language which are provided by bi-lingual staff members.
