American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to need treatment for substance abuse and addiction. On the Contrary, 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 addiction treatment admissions show up to rehab as criminal justice clients, meaning they have most likely accepted a court ordered diversion program to go to rehab in lieu of jail times for their charges. So therefore, there is an absolute need for a variety of service types to provide services for all of the various requirements of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including addiction rehabilitation services in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Waltham face is access to effective rehab programs, especially those who reside in secluded locations. Programs offering substance abuse rehabilitation services in rural areas may not be able to offer strategic planning intended for the needs of this special demographic including addiction treatment services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native individuals can consult with elders and stakeholders working in mental health services for their tribe or region to figure out which types of treatment services are an option for them through which rehab facilities, and which will work best for their particular situation. There have been many grants offered in recent years to cover these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effectively established treatment programs which offer evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive recovery services including those in their language which are provided by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
