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. Reversely, 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 arrive to treatment as criminal justice clients, which means they have most likely agreed to a diversion option 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 provide services for all of the various needs of this client demographic, including addiction treatment programs in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Oacoma face is access to comprehensive and effective services, particularly those who reside in rural regions. Facilities providing addiction rehab services in rural areas often are not able to offer support intended for the needs and demands of this special group of people including substance abuse treatment services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native individuals can consult with stakeholders and elders working in mental health services for their tribe or region to figure out which treatment services are an option for them through which treatment facilities, and which will be most effective for their scenario. There have been many grants offered in recent years to cover these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effective recovery programs which provide evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive rehab services including those in their language which are provided by bi-lingual staff members.
