American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to be in need to treatment for substance abuse and addiction. Reversely, 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 addiction treatment admissions show up to rehab as criminal justice clients, which means they have very likely agreed to a diversion option to go to treatment in lieu of jail times for their charges. So as one can see, there is definitely a need for a variety of service types to provide services for all of the various requirements of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including substance abuse treatment services in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Bena face is access to effective services, especially those who live in rural regions. Facilities offering substance abuse rehabilitation services in rural areas commonly are not set up to provide support intended for the needs and demands of this special group of people including addiction rehabilitation services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can consult with stakeholders and elders working in mental health services for their tribe or region to determine which services are available to them and through which treatment facilities, and which ones 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, which have very effective treatment programs which provide evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive recovery services including those in their language which are performed by bi-lingual staff members.
