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 prone to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Almost 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 go to rehab 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 various needs of this client demographic, including addiction treatment programs in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Little Falls face is access to effective treatment facilities, particularly those who live in secluded regions. Facilities offering drug and alcohol rehabilitation services in rural regions often are not able to offer strategic planning designed to meet the needs and demands of this unique group of people including addiction treatment services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can consult with elders and stakeholders involved in mental health services for their tribe or region to determine which types of treatment services are available to them and through which treatment facilities, and which will work best for their particular situation. There have been numerous grants sanctioned in recent years to help pay for these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effectively established treatment programs which offer evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive treatment services including those in their language which are provided by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
