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. Conversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more likely to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Roughly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native substance abuse treatment admissions show up to treatment as criminal justice clients, meaning they have very likely agreed to a diversion option to receive treatment instead of jail time. So as one can see, there is a definite need for different types of treatment programs to cover all of the various requirements of this client demographic, including substance abuse treatment services in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Wakpala face is access to comprehensive services, especially those who live in rural areas. Facilities offering addiction rehabilitation services in rural regions commonly are not capable of offering support designed to meet the needs of this distinctive group of people including substance abuse treatment services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can work with elders and stakeholders involved in mental health services for their tribe or region to find out which types of treatment services are available to them and through which treatment facilities, and which will be most effective for their scenario. There have been numerous grants offered in recent years to help pay for these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effectively established treatment programs which provide evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive recovery services including those in their language which are performed by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
