American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to be in need to treatment for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. Conversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more prone to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Almost 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native drug and alcohol treatment admissions arrive to treatment as criminal justice clients, which means they have very likely agreed to a diversion option to go to treatment instead of jail time. So therefore, there is an absolute need for a variety of service types to provide services for all of the various requirements of this client demographic, including substance abuse treatment services in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Skyline face is access to comprehensive treatment facilities, especially those who live in secluded locations. Programs offering drug and alcohol treatment services in rural regions commonly are not capable of offering strategic planning aimed at meeting the needs of this unique group of people including addiction rehabilitation services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can consult 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 ones will be most effective for their scenario. There have been numerous grants offered in recent years to cover these types of treatment services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effective programs which offer evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive rehab services delivered in their language which are performed by bi-lingual staff members.
