American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to need rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. On the Contrary, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more prone to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Roughly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native drug and alcohol treatment admissions show up to treatment as criminal justice clients, which means they have most likely accepted a court ordered diversion program to receive rehab instead of jail time. So as you can see, there is an absolute need for different types of treatment programs to provide services for all of the very unique requirements of this client demographic, including addiction treatment programs in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Westminster face is access to effective treatment facilities, especially those who live in secluded areas. Facilities offering substance abuse treatment services in rural areas may not be capable of offering strategic planning designed to meet the needs of this unique group of people including substance abuse rehabilitation services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can work with stakeholders and elders involved in mental health services for their region or tribe to figure out which treatment services are an option for them through which facilities, and which will be most effective for their scenario. There have been numerous grants offered in recent years to help pay for these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effectively established recovery programs which provide evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive recovery services including those in their language which are performed by bi-lingual staff members.
