American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to need treatment for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. Reversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more likely to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Almost 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native substance abuse treatment admissions arrive to rehab as criminal justice clients, meaning they have most likely agreed to a court ordered diversion program to go to treatment instead of jail time. So therefore, there is a definite need for a variety of service types to provide services for all of the very unique requirements of this client demographic, including substance abuse treatment programs in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Freeport face is access to comprehensive and effective treatment facilities, particularly those who live in secluded locations. Programs offering drug and alcohol treatment services in rural regions commonly are not set up to provide support aimed at meeting the needs and demands of this distinctive group of people including addiction treatment services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can work with stakeholders and elders working in mental health services for their region or tribe to find out which treatment services are an option for them through which rehab facilities, and which will work best for their particular situation. There have been numerous grants offered in recent years to help pay for these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effective programs which offer evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive treatment services delivered in their language which are performed by bi-lingual staff members.
