American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to need recovery services for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. Reversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more likely to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Nearly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native drug and alcohol treatment admissions arrive to treatment as criminal justice clients, meaning they have very likely agreed to a court ordered diversion program to receive treatment instead of jail times for their charges. So therefore, there is a definite need for different types of treatment programs to provide services for all of the various requirements of this client demographic, including addiction treatment programs in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Wahkon face is access to comprehensive and effective rehab programs, particularly those who reside in rural areas. Facilities providing drug and alcohol treatment services in rural regions commonly are not able to offer support aimed at meeting the needs of this distinctive demographic including substance abuse rehabilitation services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can work 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 ones will work best for their particular situation. There have been many grants approved in recent years to cover these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effective programs which offer 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.
