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. Reversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more prone to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Nearly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native drug and alcohol treatment admissions arrive to treatment as criminal justice clients, which means they have very likely agreed to a court ordered diversion program to go to rehab in lieu of jail times for their charges. So therefore, there is a definite need for a variety of service types 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 Oakville face is access to effective services, particularly those who live in rural locations. Programs providing drug and alcohol rehab services in rural regions commonly are not set up to provide support aimed at meeting the needs of this special demographic including substance abuse rehabilitation services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can work with elders and stakeholders working in mental health services for their region or tribe to determine which types of treatment services are an option for them through which treatment facilities, and which will be most effective for their scenario. There have been many grants sanctioned in recent years to help pay for these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effectively established recovery 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.
