American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to require treatment for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. Reversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more likely to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Almost 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native substance abuse treatment admissions show up to treatment as criminal justice clients, which means they have most likely accepted a court ordered diversion program to go to rehab instead of jail times for their charges. So as you can see, there is definitely a need for different types of treatment programs to provide services for all of the very unique 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 Lincoln Park face is access to effective services, especially those who reside in rural regions. Programs offering addiction treatment services in rural regions often are not capable of offering support intended for the needs of this unique group of people including substance abuse treatment services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can consult with stakeholders and elders working in mental health services for their region or tribe to figure out which services are available to them and through which treatment facilities, and which will best suit their needs. There have been many grants offered in recent years to cover these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effectively established recovery programs which offer evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive rehab services including those in their language which are provided by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
