American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to be in need to treatment for substance abuse and addiction. Conversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more likely to feel the need to seek treatment 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 treatment in lieu of jail times for their charges. So therefore, there is definitely a need for different types of treatment programs to cover all of the very unique needs of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including substance abuse treatment services in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Glenn face is access to comprehensive and effective rehab programs, particularly those who live in rural locations. Programs offering substance abuse rehab services in rural areas often are not able to offer strategic planning aimed at meeting the needs of this special demographic including addiction treatment services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native individuals can work with elders and stakeholders working in mental health services for their region or tribe to figure out which types of treatment services are an option for them and through which treatment facilities, and which will be most effective for their scenario. There have been many grants sanctioned in recent years to help pay for these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effectively established treatment programs which provide evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive recovery services including those in their language which are performed by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
