American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to be in need to treatment for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. On the Contrary, 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 addiction treatment admissions show up to rehab as criminal justice clients, which means they have very likely accepted a diversion option to go to treatment instead of jail time. So as you can see, there is a definite need for different types of treatment programs to provide services for all of the very unique needs of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including substance abuse treatment services in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Cortaro face is access to effective treatment facilities, especially those who live in secluded areas. Facilities providing substance abuse treatment services in rural regions commonly are not capable of offering strategic planning aimed at meeting the needs and demands of this unique demographic including substance abuse rehabilitation services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can consult with stakeholders and elders working in mental health services for their tribe or region to figure out which treatment services are available to them through which treatment facilities, and which ones will best suit their needs. There have been numerous grants sanctioned in recent years to help pay for these types of treatment services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effectively established treatment programs which provide 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.
