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 drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. Reversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more likely to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Nearly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native addiction treatment admissions arrive to treatment as criminal justice clients, which means they have very likely agreed to a diversion option to go to rehab instead of jail times for their charges. So as you can see, there is a definite need for different types of treatment programs to provide services for all of the very unique needs of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including substance abuse treatment services in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Ham Lake face is access to comprehensive services, especially those who reside in rural areas. Facilities offering drug and alcohol rehab services in rural areas often are not set up to provide support aimed at meeting the needs of this special group of people including addiction rehabilitation services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can work with stakeholders and elders involved in mental health services for their tribe or region to figure out which services are available to them and through which treatment facilities, and which ones will be most effective for their scenario. There have been many grants offered in recent years to help pay for these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effectively established recovery programs which provide evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive recovery services including those in their language which are provided by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
