American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to require recovery services for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. Reversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more prone to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Roughly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native addiction treatment admissions show up to treatment as criminal justice clients, meaning they have most likely accepted a diversion option to receive treatment instead of jail time. So as one can see, there is an absolute need for a variety of service types to cover all of the various needs of this client demographic, including substance abuse treatment services in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Essig face is access to comprehensive and effective rehab programs, especially those who reside in rural regions. Programs offering addiction rehab services in rural regions may not be able to offer strategic planning aimed at meeting the needs and demands of this special group of people including substance abuse treatment services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can work with stakeholders and elders working in mental health services for their region or tribe to figure out which types of treatment services are an option for them through which rehab facilities, and which ones will work best for their particular situation. There have been numerous grants approved in recent years to cover these types of treatment services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effectively established recovery programs which offer evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive treatment services including those in their language which are performed by bi-lingual staff members.
