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. Conversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more prone to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Roughly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native substance abuse treatment admissions show up to treatment as criminal justice clients, which means they have most likely accepted a diversion option to receive rehab in lieu of jail times for their charges. So therefore, there is a definite need for a variety of service types to provide services for all of the various requirements of this client demographic, including substance abuse treatment programs in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Taunton face is access to effective rehab programs, especially those who live in secluded regions. Programs offering substance abuse treatment services in rural regions often are not set up to provide strategic planning aimed at meeting the needs of this distinctive group of people including substance abuse rehabilitation services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can consult with stakeholders and elders working in mental health services for their region or tribe to determine which services are available to them and through which rehab facilities, and which will best suit their needs. There have been many grants offered in recent years to help pay for these types of treatment services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effectively established treatment programs which provide evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive treatment services delivered in their language which are provided by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
