American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to be in need to rehabilitation for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. Reversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more prone to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Roughly 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 rehab instead of jail times for their charges. So as one can see, there is an absolute need for different types of treatment programs to provide services for all of the various needs of this client demographic, including addiction treatment programs in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in White Mountain face is access to comprehensive services, especially those who live in rural areas. Facilities providing drug and alcohol rehabilitation services in rural regions commonly are not set up to provide support designed to meet the needs and demands of this special group of people including addiction treatment services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native individuals can work with stakeholders and elders working in mental health services for their tribe or region to find out which types of treatment services are an option for them and through which rehab facilities, and which will work best for their particular situation. There have been numerous grants offered in recent years to cover these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effective programs which offer evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive recovery services delivered in their language which are provided by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
