American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to be in need to treatment for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. On the Contrary, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more prone to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Roughly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native drug and alcohol treatment admissions arrive to rehab as criminal justice clients, meaning they have most likely agreed to a diversion option to receive treatment in lieu of jail times for their charges. So therefore, there is a definite need for different types of treatment programs to cover all of the various needs of this client demographic, including addiction treatment programs in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Long Lake face is access to comprehensive and effective services, especially those who reside in rural regions. Facilities offering substance abuse rehabilitation services in rural regions may not be capable of offering strategic planning designed to meet the needs of this unique group of people including substance abuse rehabilitation services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can work with elders and stakeholders working in mental health services for their region or tribe to find out which types of treatment services are available to them through which facilities, and which will best suit their needs. There have been many grants sanctioned in recent years to cover these types of treatment services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effectively established treatment programs which provide evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive treatment services including those in their language which are provided by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
