American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to require rehabilitation for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. On the Contrary, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more prone to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Almost 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native drug and alcohol treatment admissions arrive to treatment as criminal justice clients, which means they have very likely accepted a court ordered diversion program to go to treatment instead of jail times for their charges. So as one can see, there is a definite need for different types of treatment programs to provide services for all of the very unique requirements of this client demographic, including addiction treatment services in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Sheridan face is access to effective services, particularly those who live in rural regions. Programs offering addiction treatment services in rural regions commonly are not set up to provide support intended for the needs and demands of this special group of people including addiction treatment services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can consult with stakeholders and elders working in mental health services for their tribe or region to figure out which treatment services are available to them and through which rehab facilities, and which ones will be most effective for their scenario. There have been many grants approved in recent years to cover 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 treatment services including those in their language which are provided by bi-lingual staff members.
