American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to require rehabilitation 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 substance abuse treatment admissions show up to treatment as criminal justice clients, which means they have very likely accepted a diversion option to receive treatment instead of jail time. So as one can see, there is definitely a need for different types of treatment programs to cover all of the various requirements of this client demographic, including substance abuse treatment services in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Keene face is access to comprehensive rehab programs, particularly those who reside in rural areas. Facilities providing substance abuse treatment services in rural regions commonly are not able to offer strategic planning aimed at meeting the needs and demands of this special group of people including substance abuse rehabilitation 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 find out which types of treatment services are available to them and through which treatment facilities, and which ones will be most effective for their scenario. There have been numerous grants offered in recent years to cover these types of treatment services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effective treatment programs which provide evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive treatment services delivered in their language which are performed by bi-lingual staff members.
