American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to be in need to treatment for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. On the Contrary, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more prone to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Almost 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native addiction treatment admissions arrive to treatment as criminal justice clients, which means they have most likely agreed to a diversion option to receive treatment in lieu of jail time. So as one can see, there is definitely a need for a variety of service types to provide services for all of the various requirements of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including addiction treatment services in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Somerset Center face is access to comprehensive and effective treatment facilities, especially those who live in secluded locations. Facilities providing addiction rehab services in rural regions may not be able to offer strategic planning intended for the needs of this special group of people including substance abuse rehabilitation services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can consult with stakeholders and elders working in mental health services for their region or tribe to determine which treatment services are an option for them through which rehab facilities, and which ones 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, that have very effectively established treatment programs which offer evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive rehab services delivered in their language which are performed by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
