American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to require recovery services for substance abuse and addiction. Reversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more likely to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Almost 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native substance abuse treatment admissions arrive to treatment as criminal justice clients, which means they have most likely accepted 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 different types of treatment programs to provide services for all of the various requirements of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including substance abuse treatment services in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Ironwood face is access to effective treatment facilities, especially those who live in secluded locations. Programs providing drug and alcohol treatment services in rural areas often are not able to offer support designed to meet the needs of this unique demographic including addiction treatment services in their 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 an option for them and through which treatment facilities, and which ones will work best for their particular situation. There have been many grants offered in recent years to cover these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effective treatment 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.
