American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to be in need to rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Conversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more likely to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Roughly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native substance abuse treatment admissions arrive to treatment as criminal justice clients, meaning they have very likely agreed to a diversion option to receive treatment 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 American Indian or Alaska Natives, including addiction rehabilitation services in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Cooks face is access to comprehensive and effective services, particularly those who live in rural areas. Programs offering drug and alcohol rehab services in rural areas often are not capable of offering support aimed at meeting the needs and demands of this unique group of people including addiction treatment services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can consult with stakeholders and elders working in mental health services for their tribe or region to figure 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 services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effective treatment programs which provide evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive treatment services including those in their language which are performed by bi-lingual staff members.
