American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to be in need to treatment for substance abuse and addiction. On the Contrary, 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 rehab as criminal justice clients, meaning they have very likely accepted a diversion option to receive treatment instead of jail time. So therefore, there is a definite need for a variety of service types to provide services for all of the very unique needs of this client demographic, including addiction rehabilitation programs in native languages.
One of the problems that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Engadine face is access to comprehensive and effective rehab programs, especially those who reside in rural locations. Facilities providing addiction rehab services in rural regions may not be set up to provide support designed to meet the needs and demands of this special group of people including addiction treatment services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native individuals can work with elders and stakeholders working in mental health services for their tribe or region to figure out which services are available to them and through which facilities, and which ones will be most effective for their scenario. There have been many grants sanctioned in recent years to help pay for these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effectively established treatment programs which provide evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive treatment services delivered in their language which are performed by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
