American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to require recovery services for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. Reversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more prone to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Almost 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native addiction treatment admissions show up to rehab as criminal justice clients, which means they have most likely agreed to a diversion option to receive rehab in lieu of jail time. So therefore, there is a definite need for different types of treatment programs to provide services for all of the various requirements of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including addiction rehabilitation programs in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Lake Park face is access to comprehensive treatment facilities, particularly those who reside in rural areas. Programs offering addiction treatment services in rural areas often are not set up to provide support aimed at meeting the needs and demands of this unique demographic including addiction rehabilitation services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native individuals can work with elders and stakeholders involved in mental health services for their tribe or region to find out which treatment services are an option for them through which treatment facilities, and which will be most effective for their scenario. There have been many grants approved in recent years to help pay for these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effectively established treatment programs which offer evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive treatment services delivered in their language which are provided by bi-lingual staff members.
