American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to need recovery services for substance abuse and addiction. On the Contrary, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more likely to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Almost 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native substance abuse treatment admissions arrive to treatment as criminal justice clients, meaning they have very likely accepted a diversion option to receive treatment instead of jail time. So as one can see, there is a definite need for a variety of service types to cover all of the very unique requirements of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including addiction treatment programs in native languages.
One of the problems that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Backus face is access to effective services, especially those who live in rural regions. Facilities offering drug and alcohol rehabilitation services in rural areas may not be set up to provide strategic planning aimed at meeting the needs of this distinctive group of people including addiction rehabilitation services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native individuals can consult with stakeholders and elders involved in mental health services for their tribe or region to determine which types of treatment services are an option for them through which treatment facilities, and which will work best for their particular situation. There have been many grants offered in recent years to help pay for these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effectively established treatment programs which offer evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive rehab services including those in their language which are provided by bi-lingual staff members.
