American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to need treatment for substance abuse and addiction. Reversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more prone to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Almost 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native substance abuse treatment admissions show up to rehab as criminal justice clients, meaning they have most likely accepted a court ordered diversion program to receive rehab in lieu of jail times for their charges. 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 rehabilitation services in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Walloon Lake face is access to comprehensive and effective services, especially those who live in rural locations. Programs offering drug and alcohol rehab services in rural areas often 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 clients can consult with stakeholders and elders working in mental health services for their tribe or region to figure out which treatment services are available to them through which rehab facilities, and which ones will work best for their particular situation. There have been many grants offered in recent years to help pay for these types of treatment services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effectively established programs which provide evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive treatment services including those in their language which are performed by bi-lingual staff members.
