American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to be in need to treatment 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. Nearly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native drug and alcohol treatment admissions show up to treatment as criminal justice clients, meaning they have very likely accepted a diversion option to go to treatment instead of jail time. So as you can see, there is definitely a need for different types of treatment programs to provide services for all of the various requirements of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including substance abuse treatment services in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Ontonagon face is access to effective treatment facilities, particularly those who live in rural regions. Programs offering substance abuse rehab services in rural regions may not be set up to provide support designed to meet the needs of this special demographic including substance abuse treatment services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native individuals can consult with stakeholders and elders involved in mental health services for their region or tribe to find out which services are an option for them and through which treatment facilities, and which will work best for their particular situation. There have been many grants sanctioned in recent years to help pay for these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effective recovery programs which provide evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive rehab services delivered in their language which are performed by bi-lingual staff members.
