American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to need recovery services for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. Reversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more prone to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Roughly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native substance abuse treatment admissions show up to treatment as criminal justice clients, which means they have very likely accepted a court ordered diversion program to go to rehab in lieu of jail time. So therefore, there is an absolute need for different types of treatment programs to cover all of the very unique needs of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including substance abuse treatment programs in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Bridgewater face is access to comprehensive and effective treatment facilities, especially those who reside in secluded locations. Facilities offering addiction rehab services in rural areas commonly are not able to offer support designed to meet the needs of this unique demographic including substance abuse rehabilitation services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native individuals can work with stakeholders and elders working in mental health services for their region or tribe to figure out 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 numerous grants sanctioned in recent years to cover these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effective programs which provide evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive recovery services including those in their language which are provided by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
