American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to need treatment for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. Reversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more likely to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Nearly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native substance abuse treatment admissions show up to rehab as criminal justice clients, meaning they have most likely accepted a diversion option to go to treatment instead of jail time. So therefore, there is a definite need for different types of treatment programs to cover all of the very unique requirements of this client demographic, including substance abuse treatment programs in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Gagetown face is access to comprehensive and effective services, particularly those who reside in rural regions. Programs offering drug and alcohol treatment services in rural areas often are not capable of offering strategic planning aimed at meeting the needs and demands of this unique demographic including addiction rehabilitation services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can work with elders and stakeholders involved in mental health services for their region or tribe to figure out which types of treatment services are available to them and through which facilities, and which ones will best suit their needs. There have been numerous grants sanctioned in recent years to cover these types of treatment services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effective recovery programs which offer 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.
