American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to require recovery services for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. Reversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more prone to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Almost 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native addiction treatment admissions show up to treatment as criminal justice clients, meaning they have most likely accepted a court ordered diversion program to receive 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 addiction treatment programs in native languages.
One of the problems that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Harrington face is access to comprehensive treatment facilities, especially those who live in rural areas. Facilities offering addiction treatment services in rural regions often are not capable of offering support designed to meet the needs of this special group of people including addiction rehabilitation services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native individuals can work with elders and stakeholders working in mental health services for their tribe or region to determine which services are an option for them and through which rehab facilities, and which ones will best suit their needs. There have been many grants offered in recent years to cover these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effective treatment programs which offer evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive rehab services including those in their language which are performed by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
