American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to require treatment for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. Conversely, 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 arrive to rehab as criminal justice clients, which means they have most likely agreed to a court ordered diversion program to receive rehab instead of jail time. So as one can see, there is a definite need for a variety of service types to cover all of the very unique requirements of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including substance abuse treatment programs in native languages.
One of the problems that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Mission Hill face is access to comprehensive and effective rehab programs, especially those who live in secluded locations. Programs providing substance abuse treatment services in rural regions may not be set up to provide support designed to meet the needs and demands 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 figure out which types of treatment services are available to them through which facilities, and which will best suit their needs. There have been numerous grants sanctioned in recent years to cover these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effectively established recovery programs which offer evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive recovery services including those in their language which are provided by bi-lingual staff members.
