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. Conversely, 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 show up to rehab as criminal justice clients, meaning they have very likely accepted a court ordered diversion program to go to treatment in lieu of jail time. So therefore, there is a definite need for a variety of service types to provide services for all of the very unique needs of this client demographic, including addiction treatment services in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in National Mine face is access to comprehensive rehab programs, particularly those who reside in secluded regions. Programs offering substance abuse rehab services in rural regions often are not capable of offering support designed to meet the needs and demands of this distinctive demographic including addiction treatment services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can consult with elders and stakeholders involved in mental health services for their region or tribe to figure out which types of treatment services are available to them and through which facilities, and which ones will best suit their needs. There have been numerous grants offered in recent years to help pay for these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effective programs which offer evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive rehab services including those in their language which are performed by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
