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. Reversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are 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 arrive to treatment as criminal justice clients, meaning they have most likely accepted a diversion option to receive rehab in lieu of jail time. So as one can see, there is an absolute need for different types of treatment programs to cover all of the various requirements of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including addiction treatment services in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Baker face is access to comprehensive services, especially those who reside in rural locations. Programs offering addiction treatment services in rural areas often are not set up to provide strategic planning aimed at meeting the needs of this unique group of people including addiction rehabilitation services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native individuals can work with stakeholders and elders involved in mental health services for their region or tribe to figure out which services are an option for them through which rehab facilities, and which ones 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, which have very effectively established programs which provide evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive treatment services delivered in their language which are provided by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
