American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to require recovery services for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. Conversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more likely to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Nearly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native drug and alcohol treatment admissions arrive to treatment as criminal justice clients, meaning they have very likely accepted a diversion option to go to treatment instead of jail times for their charges. So therefore, there is definitely a need for different types of treatment programs to provide services for all of the very unique requirements of this client demographic, including substance abuse treatment services in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in East Tawas face is access to comprehensive rehab programs, especially those who live in rural locations. Programs offering substance abuse rehab services in rural areas often are not able to offer strategic planning intended for the needs of this unique group of people including substance abuse rehabilitation services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can consult 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 will be most effective for their scenario. There have been numerous grants sanctioned in recent years to help pay for these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effectively established treatment programs which provide evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive treatment services including those in their language which are performed by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
