American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to be in need to recovery services for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. Reversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more likely to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Nearly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native substance abuse treatment admissions arrive to rehab as criminal justice clients, meaning they have most likely accepted a diversion option to receive treatment in lieu of jail time. So as you can see, there is definitely a need for different types of treatment programs to cover all of the very unique needs of this client demographic, including substance abuse treatment programs in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Muskegon Heights face is access to comprehensive and effective rehab programs, particularly those who live in rural locations. Programs providing substance abuse rehab services in rural areas often are not able to offer support aimed at meeting the needs of this special group of people including substance abuse rehabilitation services in their native 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 types of treatment services are an option for them and through which rehab facilities, and which ones will work best for their particular situation. There have been numerous grants offered in recent years to cover these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effectively established treatment programs which offer evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive rehab services delivered in their language which are provided by bi-lingual staff members.
