American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to need rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Reversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more likely to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Nearly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native substance abuse 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 treatment instead of jail time. So therefore, there is a definite need for a variety of service types to cover 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 Ah Gwah Ching face is access to comprehensive and effective services, especially those who reside in rural areas. Facilities providing drug and alcohol rehabilitation services in rural regions may not be capable of offering 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 individuals can work with elders and stakeholders involved in mental health services for their region or tribe to determine which services are available to them through which facilities, and which ones will best suit their needs. There have been numerous grants sanctioned 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 incorporates culturally sensitive treatment services delivered in their language which are performed by bi-lingual staff members.
