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. 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 drug and alcohol treatment admissions show up to treatment as criminal justice clients, which means they have very likely accepted a diversion option to receive rehab in lieu of jail time. So as you can see, there is an absolute need for different types of treatment programs to cover all of the very unique needs of this client demographic, including addiction treatment programs in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Arcadia face is access to comprehensive rehab programs, particularly those who live in rural areas. Programs offering substance abuse rehab services in rural areas commonly are not able to offer support aimed at meeting the needs and demands of this distinctive demographic including addiction treatment services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can work with elders and stakeholders involved in mental health services for their region or tribe to determine which types of treatment services are available to them through which rehab facilities, and which ones will best suit their needs. There have been many grants approved in recent years to cover these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effective recovery programs which offer evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive rehab services including those in their language which are provided by bi-lingual staff members.
