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 substance abuse and addiction. Conversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more prone to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Almost 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native addiction treatment admissions show up to rehab as criminal justice clients, which means they have very likely accepted a diversion option to go to rehab instead of jail times for their charges. So as you can see, there is definitely a need for different types of treatment programs to provide services for all of the various needs of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including addiction treatment programs in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Burke face is access to comprehensive services, especially those who live in secluded regions. Facilities offering substance abuse treatment services in rural areas may not be set up to provide support designed to meet the needs and demands of this unique demographic including addiction treatment services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can work with stakeholders and elders involved in mental health services for their region or tribe to find out which treatment services are available to them and through which facilities, and which ones will work best for their particular situation. There have been numerous grants approved in recent years to cover these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effective programs which offer evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive treatment services including those in their language which are provided by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
