American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to need treatment for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. On the Contrary, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more prone 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 very likely agreed to a diversion option to receive rehab in lieu of jail time. So therefore, there is definitely a need for different types of treatment programs to cover all of the very unique needs of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including substance abuse treatment programs in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Metamora face is access to effective services, particularly those who reside in rural areas. Programs providing drug and alcohol rehab services in rural areas often are not set up to provide strategic planning aimed at meeting the needs and demands of this unique demographic including substance abuse treatment services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can work with elders and stakeholders working in mental health services for their tribe or region to figure out which types of treatment services are available to them and through which rehab facilities, and which will be most effective for their scenario. There have been many grants offered in recent years to help pay for these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effective treatment programs which provide evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive recovery services delivered in their language which are performed by bi-lingual staff members.
