American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to require treatment for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. On the Contrary, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more prone to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Roughly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native drug and alcohol treatment admissions show up to treatment as criminal justice clients, meaning they have most likely accepted a court ordered diversion program to receive treatment instead of jail times for their charges. So as you can see, there is definitely a need for a variety of service types to cover all of the very unique needs of this client demographic, including substance abuse treatment services in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Okemos face is access to comprehensive and effective services, especially those who live in secluded locations. Programs providing addiction rehab services in rural regions may not be set up to provide strategic planning intended for the needs of this special demographic including addiction rehabilitation services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can consult with stakeholders and elders involved in mental health services for their region or tribe to determine which services are available to them through which rehab facilities, and which will be most effective for their scenario. There have been many grants approved in recent years to cover these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effective programs which offer evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive treatment services including those in their language which are performed by bi-lingual staff members.
