American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to require recovery services for substance abuse and addiction. On the Contrary, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also 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 very likely agreed to a diversion option to receive treatment in lieu of jail time. So as one can see, there is an absolute need for different types of treatment programs to cover all of the various needs of this client demographic, including addiction rehabilitation services in native languages.
One of the problems that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Conklin face is access to comprehensive and effective treatment facilities, particularly those who live in rural locations. Facilities providing drug and alcohol rehabilitation services in rural areas commonly are not able to offer strategic planning designed to meet the needs and demands of this distinctive group of people including addiction treatment services in their native 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 treatment services are available to them and through which rehab facilities, and which will be most effective for their scenario. There have been numerous grants sanctioned in recent years to help pay for these types of treatment services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effective programs which provide evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive recovery services including those in their language which are provided by bi-lingual staff members.
