American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to be in need to recovery services for substance abuse and addiction. Conversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more likely to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Almost 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native drug and alcohol treatment admissions show up to treatment as criminal justice clients, meaning they have most likely agreed to a court ordered diversion program to go to treatment in lieu of jail time. So therefore, there is an absolute need for a variety of service types to provide services for all of the very unique needs of this client demographic, including addiction treatment programs in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Ellendale face is access to effective services, especially those who reside in secluded locations. Programs providing substance abuse rehabilitation services in rural areas may not be able to offer strategic planning intended for the needs of this distinctive demographic including addiction rehabilitation services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can consult with stakeholders and elders involved in mental health services for their region or tribe to find out which treatment services are an option for them and through which rehab facilities, and which will best suit their needs. There have been many grants approved in recent years to help pay for these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effective recovery programs which provide evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive treatment services including those in their language which are performed by bi-lingual staff members.
