American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to require rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Reversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more likely to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Roughly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native addiction treatment admissions arrive to treatment as criminal justice clients, which means they have most likely agreed to a court ordered diversion program to receive treatment in lieu of jail times for their charges. So therefore, there is definitely a need for a variety of service types to provide services for all of the very unique needs of this client demographic, including addiction rehabilitation services in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Merrifield face is access to comprehensive and effective services, particularly those who reside in rural regions. Facilities providing substance abuse rehab services in rural regions often are not set up to provide strategic planning designed to meet the needs and demands of this distinctive demographic 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 services are an option for them through which rehab facilities, and which will be most effective for their scenario. There have been many grants sanctioned in recent years to cover these types of treatment services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effective programs which provide evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive recovery services delivered in their language which are performed by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
