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 feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Almost 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native drug and alcohol treatment admissions show up to rehab as criminal justice clients, which means they have very likely accepted a diversion option to go to rehab in lieu of jail times for their charges. So as one can see, there is an absolute need for a variety of service types to cover all of the various needs of this client demographic, including addiction treatment programs in native languages.
One of the problems that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Galien face is access to effective rehab programs, particularly those who live in secluded locations. Facilities offering drug and alcohol rehabilitation services in rural regions often are not set up to provide strategic planning aimed at meeting the needs of this unique group of people including substance abuse rehabilitation services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can consult with elders and stakeholders working in mental health services for their tribe or region to figure out which services are an option for them and through which treatment facilities, and which ones will work best for their particular situation. There have been numerous grants sanctioned in recent years to help pay for these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effectively established treatment programs which provide evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive rehab services including those in their language which are performed by bi-lingual staff members.
