American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to need treatment for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. Conversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more likely to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Roughly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native substance abuse treatment admissions show up to treatment as criminal justice clients, which means they have most likely accepted a diversion option to receive treatment in lieu of jail times for their charges. So as you can see, there is a definite need for different types of treatment programs to cover all of the various requirements of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including addiction treatment services in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Allegan face is access to comprehensive treatment facilities, especially those who live in rural locations. Facilities offering substance abuse rehabilitation services in rural areas may not be able to offer strategic planning aimed at meeting the needs of this unique group of people including addiction treatment services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can work with elders and stakeholders working in mental health services for their region or tribe to figure out which services are available to them 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 treatment services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effectively established treatment programs which offer evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive treatment services including those in their language which are provided by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
