American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to need rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Reversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more likely to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Roughly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native substance abuse treatment admissions arrive to rehab as criminal justice clients, which means they have very likely agreed to a diversion option to go to rehab instead of jail time. So therefore, there is an absolute need for different types of treatment programs to provide services for all of the very unique requirements of this client demographic, including addiction rehabilitation programs in native languages.
One of the problems that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Elk face is access to comprehensive and effective services, especially those who reside in secluded areas. Programs providing drug and alcohol rehabilitation services in rural regions commonly are not able to offer support designed to meet the needs of this special demographic including substance abuse treatment services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can consult with elders and stakeholders working in mental health services for their region or tribe to determine which services are available to them and through which rehab facilities, and which ones will be most effective for their scenario. There have been many grants approved in recent years to cover these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effective recovery programs which offer evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive treatment services delivered in their language which are provided by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
