American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to be in need to rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Conversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more likely to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Roughly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native addiction treatment admissions show up to treatment as criminal justice clients, meaning they have very likely accepted a court ordered diversion program to go to rehab instead of jail times for their charges. So therefore, there is a definite need for a variety of service types to cover all of the very unique needs of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including addiction rehabilitation services in native languages.
One of the problems that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Alta face is access to comprehensive and effective services, especially those who reside in secluded regions. Facilities offering addiction treatment services in rural regions may not be set up to provide strategic planning aimed at meeting the needs and demands of this distinctive demographic including substance abuse treatment services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can work with elders and stakeholders working in mental health services for their region or tribe to determine which services are an option for them through which facilities, and which ones will work best for their particular situation. 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 programs which provide evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive rehab services including those in their language which are performed by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
