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 also more prone 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, which means they have very likely accepted a court ordered diversion program to receive rehab in lieu of jail time. So therefore, there is definitely a need for different types of treatment programs to provide services for all of the various needs of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including addiction rehabilitation services in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Tonalea face is access to effective services, especially those who reside in secluded areas. Programs providing substance abuse rehab services in rural areas commonly are not able to offer strategic planning aimed at meeting the needs and demands of this special demographic including substance abuse treatment services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can consult with elders and stakeholders involved in mental health services for their tribe or region to find out which types of treatment services are available to them through which treatment facilities, and which will best suit their needs. There have been many grants offered in recent years to help pay for these types of treatment services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effectively established recovery programs which provide evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive rehab services delivered in their language which are provided by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
