American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to be in need to rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Conversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more prone to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Roughly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native addiction treatment admissions arrive to treatment as criminal justice clients, which means they have very likely accepted a court ordered diversion program to go to treatment in lieu of jail time. So as one can see, there is an absolute need for different types of treatment programs to cover all of the various requirements of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including substance abuse treatment programs in native languages.
One of the problems that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Edgecomb face is access to comprehensive rehab programs, especially those who live in secluded locations. Programs offering drug and alcohol rehabilitation services in rural areas often are not capable of offering support designed to meet the needs of this unique demographic including addiction rehabilitation services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can work with elders and stakeholders working in mental health services for their tribe or region to find out which services are available to them and through which facilities, and which ones will work best for their particular situation. There have been numerous grants sanctioned in recent years to help pay for these types of treatment services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effectively established treatment programs which offer evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive treatment services delivered in their language which are performed by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
