American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to need treatment for substance abuse and addiction. Conversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more likely to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Roughly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native addiction treatment admissions arrive to treatment as criminal justice clients, meaning they have very likely accepted a diversion option to go to treatment in lieu of jail times for their charges. So therefore, there is a definite need for a variety of service types to provide services for all of the very unique needs of this client demographic, including addiction treatment services in native languages.
One of the problems that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Edina face is access to comprehensive treatment facilities, especially those who live in secluded areas. Facilities offering substance abuse rehab services in rural regions may not be set up to provide support designed to meet the needs and demands of this distinctive demographic including addiction treatment services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can work with stakeholders and elders working in mental health services for their tribe or region to determine which treatment services are an option for them and through which treatment facilities, and which will be most effective for their scenario. There have been numerous grants approved in recent years to help pay for these types of treatment services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effectively established treatment programs which provide evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive recovery services delivered in their language which are performed by bi-lingual staff members.
