American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to be in need to recovery services for substance abuse and addiction. Reversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more likely to seek treatment on their own will more 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, which means they have very likely accepted a court ordered diversion program to go to treatment in lieu of jail time. So as one can see, there is a definite need for a variety of service types to cover all of the very unique needs of this client demographic, including substance abuse treatment programs in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Pewamo face is access to comprehensive and effective services, particularly those who reside in rural locations. Programs offering addiction treatment services in rural areas often are not set up to provide strategic planning designed to meet the needs and demands of this unique group of people including addiction rehabilitation services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can consult with stakeholders and elders working in mental health services for their tribe or region to figure out which types of treatment services are an option for them through which facilities, and which will be most effective for their scenario. There have been numerous grants offered in recent years to help pay for these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effectively established programs which provide evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive treatment services including those in their language which are provided by bi-lingual staff members.
