American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to require 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 treatment as criminal justice clients, meaning they have very likely agreed to a court ordered diversion program to receive treatment instead of jail time. So therefore, there is an absolute need for a variety of service types to provide services for all of the very unique needs of this client demographic, including substance abuse treatment programs in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in White Cloud face is access to comprehensive rehab programs, especially those who live in secluded locations. Facilities providing drug and alcohol treatment services in rural areas may not be set up to provide support intended for the needs and demands of this distinctive group of people including substance abuse rehabilitation services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can consult with stakeholders and elders involved in mental health services for their region or tribe to determine which services are an option for them through which treatment facilities, and which will best suit their needs. There have been numerous grants approved in recent years to help pay for these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effectively established treatment programs which offer evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive recovery services delivered in their language which are provided by bi-lingual staff members.
