American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to require treatment for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. Reversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more prone 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 very likely agreed to a diversion option to receive treatment in lieu of jail time. So as you can see, there is definitely a need for a variety of service types to provide services for all of the various requirements of this client demographic, including substance abuse treatment programs in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Berrien Springs face is access to effective rehab programs, 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 and demands of this special group of people including substance abuse treatment services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can work with stakeholders and elders involved in mental health services for their region or tribe to determine 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 services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effective treatment programs which provide evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive recovery services delivered in their language which are performed by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
