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. Conversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more prone to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Almost 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native addiction treatment admissions arrive to rehab as criminal justice clients, which means they have very likely accepted a court ordered diversion program to receive treatment in lieu of jail time. So as one can see, there is an absolute need for different types of treatment programs to cover all of the very unique requirements of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including addiction treatment services in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Deer River face is access to effective rehab programs, especially those who live in secluded locations. Programs offering drug and alcohol rehab services in rural areas often are not able to offer strategic planning designed to meet the needs of this unique demographic including substance abuse rehabilitation services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native individuals can work with stakeholders and elders involved in mental health services for their region or tribe to find out which types of treatment services are available to them through which facilities, and which will work best for their particular situation. 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 programs which offer evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive rehab services including those in their language which are performed by bi-lingual staff members.
