American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to be in need to recovery services for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. Reversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more prone 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 treatment as criminal justice clients, which means they have very likely accepted a court ordered diversion program to go to rehab in lieu of jail times for their charges. So as one can see, there is a definite need for a variety of service types to cover all of the very unique requirements of this client demographic, including substance abuse treatment services in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Howard City face is access to effective rehab programs, particularly those who live in rural regions. Facilities providing substance abuse rehab services in rural areas commonly are not set up to provide strategic planning aimed at meeting the needs and demands of this unique group of people including substance abuse treatment services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native individuals can consult with elders and stakeholders involved in mental health services for their tribe or region to find out which treatment services are available to them through which facilities, and which will be most effective for their scenario. There have been many grants approved in recent years to help pay for these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effectively established treatment programs which offer evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive recovery services including those in their language which are provided by bi-lingual staff members.
