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. Conversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more prone to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Roughly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native substance abuse treatment admissions show up to rehab as criminal justice clients, meaning they have most likely agreed to a diversion option to receive treatment in lieu of jail times for their charges. So as one can see, there is definitely a need for different types of treatment programs to provide services for all of the various needs of this client demographic, including substance abuse treatment services in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in St. Clair face is access to effective rehab programs, particularly those who reside in rural areas. Programs providing substance abuse rehabilitation services in rural areas often are not able to offer strategic planning aimed at meeting the needs and demands of this unique demographic including substance abuse rehabilitation services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can work with stakeholders and elders involved in mental health services for their region or tribe to find out which treatment services are available to them and through which facilities, and which ones will be most effective for their scenario. There have been numerous grants approved in recent years to cover these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effectively established programs which provide evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive rehab services including those in their language which are provided by bi-lingual staff members.
