American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to be in need to treatment for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. Conversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more prone to feel the need to seek treatment 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, meaning they have very likely agreed to a diversion option to receive rehab instead of jail time. So therefore, there is a definite need for a variety of service types to provide services for all of the very unique requirements of this client demographic, including addiction rehabilitation services in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Wyoming face is access to comprehensive rehab programs, particularly those who live in secluded locations. Programs offering substance abuse rehab services in rural areas often are not able to offer support intended for the needs of this special group of people including addiction 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 and through which rehab facilities, and which ones will best suit their needs. There have been numerous grants offered in recent years to cover these types of treatment services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effectively established treatment programs which offer evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive recovery services including those in their language which are provided by bi-lingual staff members.
