American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to require rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Reversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more likely 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, meaning they have very likely agreed to a diversion option to go to treatment instead of jail times for their charges. So as you can see, there is definitely a need for a variety of service types to cover all of the various needs of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including substance abuse treatment services in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Waconia face is access to comprehensive and effective services, particularly those who live in rural areas. Programs providing substance abuse rehabilitation services in rural regions often are not able to offer strategic planning aimed at meeting the needs and demands of this unique group of people including addiction rehabilitation services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native individuals can work with stakeholders and elders involved in mental health services for their region or tribe to determine which types of treatment services are available to them through which facilities, and which will work best for their particular situation. 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 programs which provide evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive recovery services delivered in their language which are performed by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
