American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to be in need to treatment for substance abuse and addiction. Reversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more likely to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Almost 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native substance abuse treatment admissions show up to rehab as criminal justice clients, which means they have most likely agreed to a diversion option to go to rehab in lieu of jail time. So therefore, there is definitely a need for different types of treatment programs to cover all of the various requirements of this client demographic, including substance abuse treatment programs in native languages.
One of the problems that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Beaver Island face is access to comprehensive and effective rehab programs, particularly those who reside in rural areas. Facilities offering substance abuse rehabilitation services in rural regions may not be able to offer strategic planning intended for the needs and demands of this distinctive group of people including addiction rehabilitation 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 figure out which types of treatment services are an option for them and through which rehab facilities, and which ones will be most effective for their scenario. There have been numerous grants approved in recent years to help pay for these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effective treatment programs which provide evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive rehab services delivered in their language which are provided by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
