American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to require recovery services for substance abuse and addiction. On the Contrary, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more prone to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Roughly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native substance abuse treatment admissions show up to treatment as criminal justice clients, meaning they have very likely agreed to a court ordered diversion program to go to treatment instead of jail times for their charges. So as you can see, there is an absolute 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 problems that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Tillamook face is access to comprehensive and effective rehab programs, particularly those who live in secluded regions. Programs providing drug and alcohol rehabilitation services in rural areas may not be capable of offering strategic planning aimed at meeting the needs of this unique group of people including addiction treatment services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native individuals can work with stakeholders and elders working in mental health services for their tribe or region to determine which services are an option for them through which treatment facilities, and which ones will work best for their particular situation. There have been many grants approved in recent years to cover these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effective treatment programs which provide evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive treatment services delivered in their language which are provided by bi-lingual staff members.
