American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to require treatment for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. Conversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more prone to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Nearly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native drug and alcohol treatment admissions show up to rehab as criminal justice clients, which means they have most likely agreed to a diversion option to go to treatment in lieu of jail time. So as one can see, there is a definite need for a variety of service types to provide services for all of the very unique needs of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including substance abuse treatment programs in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Bejou face is access to comprehensive and effective rehab programs, especially those who reside in rural locations. Programs providing drug and alcohol rehabilitation services in rural regions often are not able to offer strategic planning designed to meet the needs of this distinctive demographic including substance abuse treatment services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can consult with stakeholders and elders working in mental health services for their region or tribe to figure out which types of treatment services are available to them and through which facilities, and which ones will best suit their needs. There have been many grants approved in recent years to cover 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 integrates culturally sensitive treatment services including those in their language which are provided by bi-lingual staff members.
