American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to need recovery services for drug and alcohol 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 drug and alcohol treatment admissions show up to rehab as criminal justice clients, meaning they have most likely agreed to a court ordered diversion program to go to rehab instead of jail time. So as one can see, there is definitely a need for different types of treatment programs to cover all of the very unique requirements of this client demographic, including substance abuse treatment services in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Groton face is access to comprehensive treatment facilities, particularly those who live in rural regions. Facilities providing drug and alcohol rehab services in rural areas commonly are not able to offer strategic planning designed to meet the needs of this special demographic including substance abuse treatment services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native individuals can work with elders and stakeholders working in mental health services for their region or tribe to find out which treatment services are an option for them and through which treatment facilities, and which 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, which have very effective treatment programs which provide evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive rehab services delivered in their language which are performed by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
