American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to need rehabilitation for substance 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. Almost 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native substance abuse treatment admissions show up to rehab as criminal justice clients, which means they have most likely accepted a diversion option to receive rehab in lieu of jail time. So therefore, there is definitely a need for a variety of service types to cover all of the very unique requirements of this client demographic, including addiction treatment services in native languages.
One of the problems that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Holyoke face is access to comprehensive rehab programs, particularly those who reside in secluded locations. Facilities providing drug and alcohol treatment services in rural regions commonly are not set up to provide support designed to meet 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 elders and stakeholders involved in mental health services for their region or tribe to determine which treatment services are an option for them through which facilities, and which will work best for their particular situation. There have been many grants approved in recent years to help pay for these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effectively established programs which offer evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive treatment services delivered in their language which are provided by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
