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. Reversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more prone to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Nearly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native addiction treatment admissions show up to rehab as criminal justice clients, which means they have very likely accepted a diversion option to go to rehab in lieu of jail time. So therefore, there is a definite need for different types of treatment programs to cover all of the very unique needs of this client demographic, including substance abuse treatment services in native languages.
One of the problems that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Aitkin face is access to comprehensive services, especially those who live in secluded areas. Programs providing addiction rehabilitation services in rural areas often are not set up to provide support designed to meet the needs of this distinctive group of people including substance abuse treatment services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can work with stakeholders and elders involved in mental health services for their region or tribe to determine which types of treatment services are an option for them and through which treatment facilities, and which will be most effective for their scenario. There have been many grants approved in recent years to help pay for these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effective programs which offer evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive rehab services including those in their language which are performed by bi-lingual staff members.
