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 also more prone 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 arrive to rehab as criminal justice clients, which means they have most likely accepted a court ordered diversion program to go to treatment instead of jail time. So therefore, there is definitely a need for different types of treatment programs to provide services for all of the very unique needs of this client demographic, including addiction treatment services in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Riverdale face is access to effective treatment facilities, particularly those who reside in secluded locations. Facilities providing addiction treatment services in rural areas commonly are not set up to provide support designed to meet the needs and demands of this unique demographic including substance abuse rehabilitation services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can work with elders and stakeholders working in mental health services for their tribe or region to figure out which services are an option for them and through which treatment facilities, and which will best suit their needs. There have been many grants approved in recent years to cover these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effectively established recovery programs which provide evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive recovery services delivered in their language which are provided by bi-lingual staff members.
