American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to need treatment for substance abuse and addiction. Conversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are 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 rehab as criminal justice clients, which means they have most likely accepted a diversion option to go to treatment in lieu of jail times for their charges. So therefore, there is a definite need for different types of treatment programs to provide services for all of the very unique requirements of this client demographic, including addiction treatment programs in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Morris face is access to comprehensive treatment facilities, especially those who live in rural locations. Facilities offering drug and alcohol rehabilitation services in rural regions may not be able to offer support designed to meet the needs of this unique demographic including addiction treatment services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can work with elders and stakeholders involved in mental health services for their region or tribe to find out which treatment services are an option for them through which rehab facilities, and which will work best for their particular situation. There have been numerous grants approved in recent years to help pay for these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effective recovery programs which offer evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive rehab services delivered in their language which are provided by bi-lingual staff members.
