American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to need treatment for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. Reversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more prone to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Nearly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native drug and alcohol treatment admissions show up to treatment as criminal justice clients, meaning they have very likely accepted a court ordered diversion program to go to treatment instead of jail times for their charges. So as one can see, there is an absolute need for a variety of service types to cover all of the very unique requirements of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including addiction treatment programs in native languages.
One of the problems that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Mountain Lake face is access to comprehensive and effective services, particularly those who reside in secluded locations. Programs providing substance abuse rehab services in rural regions may not be set up to provide support designed to meet the needs of this unique demographic including addiction rehabilitation services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native individuals can consult with elders and stakeholders involved in mental health services for their region or tribe to figure out which services are available to them and through which rehab facilities, and which will best suit their needs. There have been numerous grants offered in recent years to help pay for 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 staff members.
