American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to need recovery services for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. On the Contrary, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more prone 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 rehab as criminal justice clients, which means they have very likely agreed to a court ordered diversion program to receive treatment instead of jail time. So as you can see, there is a definite need for different types of treatment programs to cover all of the very unique needs of this client demographic, including substance abuse treatment services in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in International Falls face is access to effective rehab programs, particularly those who live in secluded regions. Facilities offering addiction treatment services in rural regions may not be capable of offering strategic planning designed to meet the needs and demands of this special group of people including addiction treatment services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can consult with stakeholders and elders involved in mental health services for their region or tribe to figure out which treatment services are an option for them through which treatment facilities, and which ones will be most effective for their scenario. There have been many grants approved in recent years to help pay for these types of treatment services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effectively established recovery programs which provide evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive rehab services delivered in their language which are performed by bi-lingual staff members.
