American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to require rehabilitation for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. Conversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more likely to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Almost 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native substance abuse treatment admissions arrive to rehab as criminal justice clients, which means they have very likely accepted a court ordered diversion program to go to treatment instead of jail time. So as you can see, there is an absolute need for different types of treatment programs to provide services for all of the various requirements of this client demographic, including addiction rehabilitation services in native languages.
One of the problems that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Grand Portage face is access to comprehensive rehab programs, particularly those who live in secluded locations. Programs providing substance abuse rehab services in rural areas commonly are not set up to provide support intended for the needs and demands of this special demographic including addiction rehabilitation services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can work with elders and stakeholders working in mental health services for their tribe or region to determine which services are available to them through which treatment facilities, and which ones will best suit their needs. There have been numerous grants offered in recent years to cover these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effective recovery programs which offer evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive recovery services including those in their language which are performed by bi-lingual staff members.
