American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to need treatment for substance abuse and addiction. On the Contrary, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more prone to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Roughly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native drug and alcohol treatment admissions arrive to treatment as criminal justice clients, meaning they have very likely agreed to a court ordered diversion program to receive treatment instead of jail times for their charges. So as you can see, there is an absolute need for a variety of service types to provide services for all of the very unique requirements of this client demographic, including addiction rehabilitation programs in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Madawaska face is access to effective rehab programs, particularly those who reside in secluded locations. Facilities offering drug and alcohol rehabilitation services in rural areas may not be able to offer strategic planning aimed at meeting the needs of this special group of people including addiction treatment services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can work with elders and stakeholders involved in mental health services for their region or tribe to determine which treatment services are available to them through which treatment facilities, and which ones will be most effective for their scenario. There have been numerous grants approved in recent years to cover these types of treatment services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effectively established programs which offer evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive rehab services including those in their language which are provided by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
