American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to need treatment for substance abuse and addiction. Conversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more prone 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, meaning they have very likely accepted a court ordered diversion program to receive treatment instead of jail time. So as you can see, there is a definite need for a variety of service types to cover all of the very unique needs of this client demographic, including addiction treatment services in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Higgins Lake face is access to effective rehab programs, particularly those who reside in rural areas. Programs offering addiction rehabilitation services in rural regions may not be able to offer support designed to meet the needs and demands of this special group of people including addiction treatment services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can work with elders and stakeholders involved in mental health services for their tribe or region to find out which types of treatment services are an option for them and through which facilities, and which ones will be most effective for their scenario. There have been numerous grants approved in recent years to cover these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effectively established recovery programs which offer evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive rehab services delivered in their language which are provided by bi-lingual staff members.
