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. Conversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more likely 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 most likely accepted a diversion option to go to rehab in lieu of jail times for their charges. So as you can see, there is definitely a need for a variety of service types to provide services for all of the very unique needs of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including addiction treatment services in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Canaan face is access to comprehensive services, particularly those who live in rural locations. Facilities providing drug and alcohol rehab services in rural areas may not be set up to provide strategic planning intended for the needs and demands of this unique group of people including addiction treatment services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native individuals can work with elders and stakeholders working in mental health services for their region or tribe to find out which types of treatment services are available to them through which treatment facilities, and which will work best for their particular situation. There have been numerous grants sanctioned in recent years to cover these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effectively established treatment programs which offer 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.
