American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to require recovery services for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. Conversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more likely to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Nearly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native drug and alcohol treatment admissions show up to rehab as criminal justice clients, meaning they have very likely agreed to a diversion option to go to treatment in lieu of jail time. So therefore, there is a definite need for a variety of service types to provide services for all of the very unique needs of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including addiction rehabilitation services in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Rimrock face is access to effective rehab programs, especially those who live in rural areas. Facilities providing substance abuse rehabilitation services in rural regions commonly are not set up to provide strategic planning intended for the needs and demands of this unique group of people including substance abuse rehabilitation services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can work with stakeholders and elders involved in mental health services for their region or tribe to find out which services are an option for them through which treatment facilities, and which will best suit their needs. There have been numerous grants offered in recent years to help pay for these types of treatment services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effectively established programs which offer evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive recovery services delivered in their language which are performed by bi-lingual staff members.
