American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to be in need to rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Conversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more prone to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Nearly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native substance abuse treatment admissions show up to treatment as criminal justice clients, which means they have most likely agreed to a court ordered diversion program to receive treatment in lieu of jail times for their charges. So as one can see, there is an absolute need for different types of treatment programs to provide services for all of the various needs of this client demographic, including addiction treatment services in native languages.
One of the problems that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Wyandotte face is access to effective rehab programs, especially those who live in rural locations. Facilities providing addiction rehab services in rural areas may not be set up to provide strategic planning intended for the needs of this special group of people including substance abuse rehabilitation services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can work with stakeholders and elders working in mental health services for their tribe or region to figure out which services are an option for them and through which facilities, and which ones will be most effective for their scenario. There have been many grants approved in recent years to cover these types of treatment services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effectively established recovery programs which offer evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive recovery services including those in their language which are provided by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
