American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to be in need to treatment for substance abuse and addiction. Conversely, 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 addiction treatment admissions show up to treatment as criminal justice clients, which means they have very likely accepted a diversion option to receive rehab in lieu of jail times for their charges. So as one can see, there is definitely a need for a variety of service types to cover all of the various needs of this client demographic, including addiction rehabilitation programs in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in St. Charles face is access to effective rehab programs, especially those who live in rural regions. Programs providing addiction rehab services in rural areas often are not capable of offering support aimed at meeting the needs of this special group of people including substance abuse treatment services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can consult with elders and stakeholders involved in mental health services for their tribe or region to figure out which types of treatment services are available to them and through which rehab facilities, and which will work best for their particular situation. There have been many grants approved in recent years to cover these types of treatment services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effectively established programs which offer evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive treatment services including those in their language which are performed by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
