American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to require recovery services for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. On the Contrary, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more prone to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Roughly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native drug and alcohol treatment admissions arrive to rehab as criminal justice clients, which means they have most likely agreed to a court ordered diversion program to go to rehab instead of jail times for their charges. So as one can see, there is a definite need for different types of treatment programs to cover all of the various requirements of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including addiction rehabilitation programs in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Yale face is access to effective services, especially those who reside in rural areas. Programs offering addiction rehabilitation services in rural regions often are not set up to provide strategic planning aimed at meeting the needs of this special demographic including addiction treatment services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can consult with elders and stakeholders working in mental health services for their region or tribe to find out which types of treatment services are available to them and through which treatment facilities, and which ones will work best for their particular situation. There have been numerous grants offered in recent years to cover these types of treatment services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effective 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.
