American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to require rehabilitation for substance 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 show up to rehab as criminal justice clients, meaning they have most likely agreed to a diversion option to receive treatment instead of jail time. So as one can see, there is a definite need for different types of treatment programs to cover all of the various requirements of this client demographic, including substance abuse treatment services in native languages.
One of the problems that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Glencross face is access to comprehensive and effective treatment facilities, particularly those who reside in secluded areas. Facilities providing drug and alcohol rehabilitation services in rural areas often are not able to offer support aimed at meeting the needs of this unique group of people including substance abuse rehabilitation services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can consult with stakeholders and elders working in mental health services for their region or tribe to find out which types of treatment 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 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 provided by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
