American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to require recovery services for substance abuse and addiction. Conversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more prone to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Nearly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native addiction treatment admissions arrive to rehab as criminal justice clients, meaning they have most likely accepted a diversion option to go to treatment in lieu of jail times for their charges. So as you can see, there is a definite need for different types of treatment programs to cover all of the various needs of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including addiction rehabilitation programs in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Big Lake face is access to comprehensive rehab programs, especially those who reside in rural locations. Programs offering substance abuse rehabilitation services in rural regions often are not able to offer support aimed at meeting the needs of this special demographic including addiction treatment services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can work with stakeholders and elders involved in mental health services for their tribe or region to figure out which services are available to them through which treatment facilities, and which ones will be most effective for their scenario. There have been numerous grants approved in recent years to help pay for these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effectively established programs which provide evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive rehab services including those in their language which are performed by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
