American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to be in need to recovery services for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. Conversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more prone 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 show up to treatment as criminal justice clients, which means 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 cover all of the very unique requirements of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including substance abuse treatment programs in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Vernal face is access to effective rehab programs, especially those who live in secluded areas. Programs providing substance abuse rehabilitation services in rural regions may not be able to offer support intended for the needs of this unique demographic including substance abuse treatment services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can work with elders and stakeholders involved in mental health services for their region or tribe to find out which types of treatment services are an option for them through which rehab facilities, and which ones will be most effective for their scenario. There have been many grants offered in recent years to help pay for these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effectively established recovery programs which provide evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive recovery services including those in their language which are provided by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
