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. Reversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more likely to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Roughly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native addiction treatment admissions show up to rehab as criminal justice clients, meaning they have most likely agreed to a diversion option to receive treatment instead of jail times for their charges. So as one can see, there is an absolute need for a variety of service types to cover all of the very unique requirements of this client demographic, including substance abuse treatment programs in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Trinidad face is access to comprehensive treatment facilities, particularly those who reside in secluded regions. Programs providing addiction rehab services in rural regions commonly are not set up to provide strategic planning aimed at meeting the needs and demands of this distinctive group of people including addiction rehabilitation services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can work with stakeholders and elders working in mental health services for their tribe or region to determine which types of treatment services are an option for them through which facilities, and which ones will best suit their needs. There have been many grants approved in recent years to help pay for these types of treatment services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effective treatment programs which provide evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive rehab services delivered in their language which are performed by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
