American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to require treatment for substance abuse and addiction. Reversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more likely to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Nearly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native substance abuse treatment admissions arrive to treatment as criminal justice clients, meaning they have most likely accepted a diversion option to receive rehab instead of jail time. So as you can see, there is an absolute need for different types of treatment programs to provide services for all of the very unique needs of this client demographic, including addiction rehabilitation services in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Berkley face is access to comprehensive services, particularly those who reside in secluded locations. Programs providing substance abuse rehabilitation services in rural areas commonly are not able to offer strategic planning designed to meet the needs of this unique group of people including substance abuse rehabilitation services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can work with elders and stakeholders working in mental health services for their tribe or region to find out which types of treatment services are available to them and through which facilities, and which ones will best suit their needs. There have been numerous grants offered in recent years to cover these types of treatment services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effective treatment programs which offer evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive treatment services including those in their language which are performed by bi-lingual staff members.
