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. Reversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more prone to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Almost 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native substance abuse treatment admissions arrive to rehab as criminal justice clients, which means they have very likely accepted a court ordered diversion program to receive treatment instead of jail time. So as one can see, there is a definite need for a variety of service types to provide services for all of the very unique needs of this client demographic, including substance abuse treatment programs in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Rothsay face is access to comprehensive treatment facilities, particularly those who live in rural regions. Programs offering drug and alcohol rehabilitation services in rural areas commonly are not set up to provide support intended for the needs of this special demographic including substance abuse rehabilitation services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can consult with elders and stakeholders involved in mental health services for their region or tribe to find out which services are an option for them through which treatment facilities, and which will best suit their needs. There have been many grants approved in recent years to cover these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effectively established recovery programs which provide evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive recovery services including those in their language which are performed by bi-lingual staff members.
