American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to require recovery services for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. Reversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more prone to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Roughly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native substance abuse treatment admissions show up to rehab as criminal justice clients, which means they have very likely agreed to a diversion option to go to treatment instead of jail times for their charges. So as you can see, there is an absolute need for different types of treatment programs to cover all of the various requirements of this client demographic, including substance abuse treatment programs in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in North Star face is access to effective services, especially those who live in secluded locations. Facilities offering drug and alcohol rehabilitation services in rural regions may not be able to offer strategic planning intended for the needs and demands of this special group of people including addiction rehabilitation services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can consult with stakeholders and elders involved in mental health services for their tribe or region to find out which services are an option for them through which treatment facilities, and which ones will best suit their needs. There have been many grants sanctioned in recent years to help pay for these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effectively established treatment programs which provide evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive recovery services including those in their language which are performed by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
