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 drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. Reversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more likely to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Roughly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native addiction treatment admissions show up to rehab as criminal justice clients, which means they have very likely accepted a diversion option to go to rehab instead 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 needs of this client demographic, including addiction rehabilitation services in native languages.
One of the problems that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Ponsford face is access to effective services, especially those who live in secluded regions. Programs providing substance abuse treatment services in rural areas may not be set up to provide support intended for the needs and demands of this distinctive group of people including substance abuse rehabilitation services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can consult with stakeholders and elders working in mental health services for their tribe or region to find out which services are available to them and through which rehab facilities, and which ones will best suit their needs. There have been many grants offered in recent years to cover these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effectively established programs which offer evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive rehab services delivered in their language which are provided by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
