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. Reversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more prone to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Almost 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native drug and alcohol treatment admissions show up to treatment as criminal justice clients, which means they have most likely agreed to a diversion option to receive rehab in lieu of jail times for their charges. So therefore, there is a definite need for a variety of service types to provide services for all of the very unique requirements of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including substance abuse treatment programs in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Harrisburg face is access to comprehensive and effective rehab programs, especially those who reside in rural regions. Facilities providing addiction treatment services in rural regions may not be capable of offering support designed to meet the needs and demands of this special demographic including substance abuse rehabilitation services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can work with stakeholders and elders working in mental health services for their tribe or region to determine which types of treatment services are available to them and through which treatment facilities, and which ones will work best for their particular situation. There have been many grants approved in recent years to help pay for these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effective programs which provide evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive recovery services including those in their language which are performed by bi-lingual staff members.
