American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to need rehabilitation for drug and alcohol 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. Nearly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native substance abuse treatment admissions show up to rehab as criminal justice clients, meaning they have very likely accepted a court ordered diversion program to receive rehab instead of jail times for their charges. So as one can see, there is an absolute need for different types of treatment programs to cover all of the various requirements of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including substance abuse treatment programs in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Lindsay face is access to comprehensive and effective treatment facilities, particularly those who live in rural areas. Facilities offering substance abuse rehabilitation services in rural regions often are not set up to provide strategic planning designed to meet the needs of this unique demographic including addiction rehabilitation services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can consult with stakeholders and elders working in mental health services for their region or tribe to find out which services are available to them and through which rehab facilities, and which will work best for their particular situation. There have been many grants approved in recent years to help pay for these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effectively established programs which offer evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive treatment services including those in their language which are performed by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
