American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to be in need to treatment for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. On the Contrary, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more likely to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Nearly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native substance abuse treatment admissions arrive to rehab as criminal justice clients, meaning they have very likely agreed to a court ordered diversion program to receive rehab in lieu of jail time. So as you can see, there is a definite need for a variety of service types to provide services for all of the very unique needs of this client demographic, including substance abuse treatment services in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Lake Preston face is access to effective treatment facilities, particularly those who reside in rural locations. Programs offering substance abuse rehab services in rural areas may not be capable of offering strategic planning intended for the needs and demands of this special demographic including addiction treatment services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can work with stakeholders and elders working in mental health services for their region or tribe to find out which treatment services are available to them through which rehab facilities, and which ones will best suit their needs. There have been many grants approved in recent years to cover these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effectively established programs which offer evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive rehab services delivered in their language which are provided by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
