American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to need recovery services for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. Reversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more likely to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Almost 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native addiction treatment admissions show up to treatment as criminal justice clients, meaning they have very likely agreed to a court ordered diversion program to go to rehab instead of jail times for their charges. So therefore, there is a definite need for different types of treatment programs to provide services for 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 Comstock face is access to comprehensive and effective services, especially those who reside in rural regions. Programs providing addiction treatment services in rural areas often are not set up to provide support aimed at meeting the needs of this special group of people including substance abuse treatment services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can work with stakeholders and elders involved in mental health services for their tribe or region to figure out which treatment services are available to them and through which treatment facilities, and which will be most effective for their scenario. There have been numerous grants offered in recent years to cover these types of treatment services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effectively established recovery programs which provide evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive rehab services delivered in their language which are performed by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
