American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to be in need to recovery services for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. Conversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more likely to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Roughly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native substance abuse treatment admissions arrive to rehab as criminal justice clients, meaning they have most likely accepted a diversion option to go to rehab instead of jail times for their charges. So as one can see, there is a definite need for a variety of service types to cover all of the very unique needs of this client demographic, including addiction treatment services in native languages.
One of the problems that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Wanamingo face is access to effective rehab programs, particularly those who reside in rural areas. Facilities providing substance abuse rehabilitation services in rural areas often are not set up to provide strategic planning intended for the needs of this special group of people including addiction treatment services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can work with elders and stakeholders involved in mental health services for their tribe or region to determine which services are available to them through which treatment facilities, and which ones will best suit their needs. There have been many grants sanctioned in recent years to help pay for these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effectively established recovery programs which offer evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive recovery services including those in their language which are performed by bi-lingual staff members.
