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. On the Contrary, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more likely to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Nearly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native drug and alcohol treatment admissions show up to treatment as criminal justice clients, meaning they have most likely agreed to a diversion option to go to rehab in lieu of jail times for their charges. So as one can see, there is a definite need for different types of treatment programs to provide services for all of the various needs of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including substance abuse treatment programs in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Highland Park face is access to effective rehab programs, particularly those who reside in secluded regions. Programs providing drug and alcohol rehabilitation services in rural regions often are not capable of offering strategic planning intended for the needs and demands of this distinctive demographic including addiction treatment services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can consult with stakeholders and elders working in mental health services for their tribe or region to figure out which treatment services are available to them and through which treatment facilities, and which ones will work best for their particular situation. There have been many 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 integrates culturally sensitive treatment services including those in their language which are provided by bi-lingual staff members.
