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. Conversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more prone to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Roughly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native addiction treatment admissions arrive to treatment as criminal justice clients, which means they have very likely accepted a court ordered diversion program to go to rehab in lieu of jail times for their charges. So therefore, 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 rehabilitation services in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in St. Helens face is access to comprehensive and effective rehab programs, especially those who reside in rural locations. Programs providing addiction rehabilitation services in rural areas commonly are not capable of offering support intended for the needs of this special demographic including substance abuse rehabilitation services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can consult with stakeholders and elders involved in mental health services for their tribe or region to figure out which treatment services are available to them and through which treatment facilities, and which ones will be most effective for their scenario. There have been numerous grants approved in recent years to cover these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effectively established recovery programs which provide evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive recovery services including those in their language which are performed by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
