American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to require rehabilitation for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. Conversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more prone to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Nearly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native drug and alcohol treatment admissions show up to rehab as criminal justice clients, meaning they have most likely accepted a diversion option to go to rehab instead of jail times for their charges. So as you can see, 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 services in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Cedar face is access to comprehensive and effective rehab programs, especially those who live in rural regions. Programs providing substance abuse rehabilitation services in rural areas may not be able to offer strategic planning aimed at meeting the needs of this distinctive demographic including addiction 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 region or tribe to find out which types of treatment services are available to them through which rehab facilities, and which will work best for their particular situation. There have been many grants sanctioned in recent years to help pay for these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effectively established treatment programs which provide evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive treatment services including those in their language which are performed by bi-lingual staff members.
