American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to need rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Conversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more likely to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Roughly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native substance abuse treatment admissions show up to rehab as criminal justice clients, meaning they have most likely accepted a diversion option to receive rehab in lieu of jail times for their charges. So as you can see, there is an absolute need for a variety of service types to cover 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 St. Agatha face is access to comprehensive and effective services, especially those who live in rural areas. Facilities providing drug and alcohol rehabilitation services in rural areas may not be able to offer strategic planning aimed at meeting the needs and demands of this unique demographic including addiction rehabilitation services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can work with elders and stakeholders working in mental health services for their tribe or region to figure out which services are an option for them through which rehab facilities, and which will work best for their particular situation. There have been numerous grants offered in recent years to help pay for these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effective programs which offer evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive treatment services including those in their language which are performed by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
