American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to need rehabilitation for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. Conversely, 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 arrive to treatment as criminal justice clients, meaning they have most likely accepted a court ordered diversion program to receive rehab instead of jail times for their charges. So as you can see, there is definitely a need for different types of treatment programs to cover all of the various requirements of this client demographic, including addiction treatment services in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Frontier face is access to comprehensive services, especially those who live in secluded locations. Facilities providing addiction treatment services in rural areas often are not capable of offering strategic planning intended for the needs of this special demographic including addiction treatment services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native individuals can work with elders and stakeholders working in mental health services for their region or tribe to determine which types of treatment services are available to them and through which rehab facilities, and which will best suit their needs. There have been many grants offered in recent years to cover these types of treatment services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effectively established treatment programs which offer evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive rehab services delivered in their language which are performed by bi-lingual staff members.
