American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to require treatment for substance abuse and addiction. Conversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more prone to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Nearly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native addiction treatment admissions show up to rehab as criminal justice clients, which means they have most likely agreed to a court ordered diversion program to receive treatment in lieu of jail times for their charges. So as one can see, there is a definite need for different types of treatment programs to cover all of the very unique requirements of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including substance abuse treatment services in native languages.
One of the problems that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Antioch face is access to effective treatment facilities, particularly those who reside in rural locations. Programs providing substance abuse rehabilitation services in rural regions commonly are not capable of offering strategic planning aimed at meeting the needs of this distinctive group of people including addiction treatment services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can work with stakeholders and elders involved in mental health services for their tribe or region to determine which types of treatment services are available to them and through which 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 programs which provide evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive treatment services including those in their language which are performed by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
