American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to be in need to 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. Roughly 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 receive rehab in lieu of jail times for their charges. So as you can see, there is a definite need for a variety of service types to cover all of the various needs of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including addiction rehabilitation programs in native languages.
One of the problems that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Cambridge face is access to comprehensive rehab programs, particularly those who reside in secluded regions. Facilities offering drug and alcohol rehab services in rural areas often are not able to offer support aimed at meeting the needs of this special group of people including addiction rehabilitation services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native individuals can work with stakeholders and elders working in mental health services for their tribe or region to find out which services are an option for them and through which treatment facilities, and which ones will best suit their needs. There have been numerous grants offered in recent years to help pay for these types of treatment services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effective treatment programs which offer evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive treatment services including those in their language which are performed by bi-lingual staff members.
