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 substance abuse and addiction. Conversely, 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 substance abuse treatment admissions arrive to treatment as criminal justice clients, meaning they have most likely accepted a court ordered diversion program to go to treatment instead of jail times for their charges. So therefore, there is a definite need for a variety of service types to cover all of the very unique requirements of this client demographic, including addiction rehabilitation programs in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Medford face is access to comprehensive treatment facilities, especially those who live in secluded locations. Programs offering addiction rehabilitation services in rural regions commonly are not set up to provide strategic planning intended for the needs and demands of this unique group of people including substance abuse treatment services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can work with elders and stakeholders working in mental health services for their region or tribe to determine which types of treatment services are an option for them through which facilities, and which will be most effective for their scenario. There have been many grants offered in recent years to cover these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effectively established recovery programs which offer evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive recovery services delivered in their language which are provided by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
