American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to require rehabilitation for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. Reversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more likely to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Roughly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native addiction treatment admissions show up to treatment as criminal justice clients, which means they have very likely accepted a diversion option to go to treatment in lieu of jail times for their charges. 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 American Indian or Alaska Natives, including substance abuse treatment services in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Sturgis face is access to comprehensive and effective treatment facilities, particularly those who live in rural locations. Programs offering substance abuse treatment services in rural regions may not be capable of offering strategic planning aimed at meeting the needs of this distinctive demographic 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 tribe or region to determine which types of treatment services are available to them through which facilities, and which will work best for their particular situation. There have been many grants offered in recent years to cover these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effective treatment programs which provide evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive recovery services delivered in their language which are provided by bi-lingual staff members.
