American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to require rehabilitation for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. Reversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more prone to feel the need to seek treatment 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 very likely accepted a diversion option to go to rehab in lieu of jail times for their charges. So as you can see, there is definitely a need for a variety of service types to cover all of the very unique requirements of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including substance abuse treatment services in native languages.
One of the problems that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Merrill face is access to comprehensive and effective rehab programs, particularly those who live in secluded regions. Facilities offering substance abuse rehab services in rural areas often are not set up to provide strategic planning intended for the needs and demands of this unique demographic including addiction rehabilitation services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can work with stakeholders and elders working in mental health services for their region or tribe to figure out which treatment services are an option for them through which treatment facilities, and which 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 recovery programs which offer evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive rehab services including those in their language which are provided by bi-lingual staff members.
