American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to require treatment for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. On the Contrary, 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, which means they have very likely agreed to a diversion option to receive rehab in lieu 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 needs of this client demographic, including addiction treatment services in native languages.
One of the problems that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Harmony face is access to effective treatment facilities, especially those who reside in secluded areas. Programs providing addiction treatment services in rural areas may not be capable of offering support designed to meet the needs of this special demographic including addiction treatment services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can consult with stakeholders and elders working in mental health services for their region or tribe to find out which types of treatment services are an option for them through which treatment facilities, and which ones will best suit their needs. There have been many grants sanctioned in recent years to help pay for these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effective recovery programs which offer evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive rehab services including those in their language which are performed by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
