American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to require treatment for substance abuse and addiction. Conversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more prone to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Roughly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native drug and alcohol treatment admissions arrive to rehab as criminal justice clients, meaning they have most likely accepted a court ordered diversion program to go to treatment instead of jail time. So therefore, there is definitely a need for a variety of service types to provide services for all of the very unique requirements of this client demographic, including addiction treatment services in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Myers Flat face is access to effective treatment facilities, particularly those who reside in rural areas. Programs providing drug and alcohol treatment services in rural areas often are not capable of offering support designed to meet the needs of this special demographic including substance abuse treatment services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native individuals can work with elders and stakeholders involved in mental health services for their tribe or region to find out which treatment services are available to them through which rehab facilities, and which will best suit their needs. There have been numerous 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 integrates culturally sensitive treatment services including those in their language which are provided by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
