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. Reversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more likely to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Almost 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native addiction treatment admissions show up to treatment as criminal justice clients, meaning they have most likely accepted a diversion option to go to rehab in lieu of jail time. So therefore, there is definitely a need for a variety of service types to provide services for all of the very unique needs of this client demographic, including substance abuse treatment programs in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Scammon Bay face is access to comprehensive and effective treatment facilities, particularly those who live in rural areas. Programs providing drug and alcohol treatment services in rural regions commonly are not able to offer support designed to meet the needs of this unique demographic including addiction 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 determine which types of treatment services are available to them and through which facilities, and which ones will be most effective for their scenario. There have been many grants approved in recent years to help pay for these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effectively established treatment programs which offer evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive recovery services delivered in their language which are provided by bi-lingual staff members.
