American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to require rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Conversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more likely to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Almost 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native drug and alcohol treatment admissions arrive to rehab as criminal justice clients, meaning they have very likely agreed to a court ordered diversion program to receive rehab in lieu of jail times for their charges. So as you can see, there is a definite need for a variety of service types to cover all of the various needs of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including addiction rehabilitation programs in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Negaunee face is access to comprehensive treatment facilities, particularly those who live in rural regions. Programs offering drug and alcohol rehabilitation services in rural regions commonly are not capable of offering strategic planning designed to meet the needs of this unique demographic including addiction treatment services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native individuals can work with stakeholders and elders involved in mental health services for their tribe or region to determine which treatment services are an option for them and through which rehab facilities, and which will work best for their particular situation. There have been many grants approved in recent years to cover these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effective treatment programs which provide 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.
