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. Reversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more prone to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Roughly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native addiction treatment admissions arrive to treatment as criminal justice clients, meaning they have very likely agreed to a diversion option to go to treatment instead of jail time. So therefore, there is an absolute need for a variety of service types to provide services for all of the various requirements of this client demographic, including substance abuse treatment services in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Sebago face is access to comprehensive treatment facilities, particularly those who live in rural locations. Programs offering addiction treatment services in rural areas often are not able to offer strategic planning aimed at meeting the needs of this special demographic including addiction treatment services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can work with stakeholders and elders involved in mental health services for their region or tribe to find out which types of treatment services are an option for them through which rehab facilities, and which will be most effective for their scenario. There have been many grants offered in recent years to help pay for these types of treatment services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effectively established recovery programs which provide evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive treatment services delivered in their language which are provided by bi-lingual staff members.
