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 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 rehab as criminal justice clients, which means they have most likely agreed to a court ordered diversion program to go to treatment in lieu of jail time. So as one can see, there is definitely a need for a variety of service types to cover all of the very unique needs of this client demographic, including addiction treatment programs in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Gowen face is access to comprehensive and effective treatment facilities, particularly those who reside in rural areas. Facilities offering substance abuse rehabilitation services in rural areas commonly are not capable of offering strategic planning aimed at meeting the needs 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 involved in mental health services for their region or tribe to find out which treatment services are available to them and through which rehab facilities, and which ones will best suit their needs. There have been numerous grants offered in recent years to help pay for these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effectively established programs which offer evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive treatment services including those in their language which are performed by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
