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. Conversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more prone 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 rehab as criminal justice clients, meaning they have most likely agreed to a court ordered diversion program to receive rehab instead of jail times for their charges. So therefore, there is definitely a need for different types of treatment programs to provide services for all of the various requirements of this client demographic, including addiction treatment services in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Jonesport face is access to comprehensive and effective services, especially those who reside in rural regions. Programs offering drug and alcohol treatment services in rural regions commonly are not set up to provide strategic planning aimed at meeting the needs of this special group of people including substance abuse treatment services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can consult 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 and through which treatment facilities, and which will best suit their needs. There have been many grants sanctioned in recent years to cover these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effective recovery programs which offer evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive recovery services delivered in their language which are performed by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
