American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to be in need to recovery services for substance abuse and addiction. Conversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more likely 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 rehab as criminal justice clients, meaning they have most likely accepted a court ordered diversion program to receive treatment instead of jail time. So therefore, there is definitely a need for different types of treatment programs to cover all of the various needs of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including substance abuse treatment services in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Inyokern face is access to comprehensive and effective rehab programs, especially those who live in secluded locations. Programs providing substance abuse rehabilitation services in rural regions may not be set up to provide support intended for the needs of this distinctive group of people including addiction rehabilitation services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can consult with elders and stakeholders working in mental health services for their region or tribe to find out which treatment services are available to them and through which treatment facilities, and which will best suit their needs. There have been many grants sanctioned in recent years to cover these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effective treatment programs which offer evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive rehab services including those in their language which are provided by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
