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. On the Contrary, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more prone 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 show up to treatment as criminal justice clients, meaning they have most likely agreed to a court ordered diversion program to go to rehab instead of jail time. So therefore, there is definitely a need for a variety of service types to provide services for all of the very unique requirements of this client demographic, including addiction treatment services in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Chelsea face is access to effective treatment facilities, particularly those who live in secluded areas. Programs offering substance abuse rehab services in rural areas may not be capable of offering strategic planning aimed at meeting the needs of this unique group of people including addiction rehabilitation services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can work with elders and stakeholders involved in mental health services for their tribe or region to figure out which services are an option for them through which facilities, and which will be most effective for their scenario. 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 recovery programs which provide evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive rehab services including those in their language which are provided by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
