American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to require rehabilitation 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 treatment as criminal justice clients, which means they have very likely agreed to a court ordered diversion program to go to treatment 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 this client demographic, including substance abuse treatment services in native languages.
One of the problems that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Anchor Point face is access to comprehensive and effective services, especially those who live in secluded areas. Programs providing drug and alcohol rehabilitation services in rural areas may not be set up to provide support designed to meet the needs of this distinctive demographic including substance abuse treatment services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can consult 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 treatment facilities, and which ones will work best for their particular situation. There have been many grants sanctioned in recent years to cover these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effective treatment programs which offer evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive treatment services including those in their language which are provided by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
