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. Conversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more prone to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Roughly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native addiction treatment admissions show up to rehab as criminal justice clients, which means they have very likely accepted a diversion option to go to rehab instead of jail time. So as you can see, there is an absolute need for a variety of service types to cover all of the very unique requirements of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including addiction rehabilitation services in native languages.
One of the problems that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Waterville face is access to comprehensive services, particularly those who live in rural areas. Programs providing substance abuse rehab services in rural regions may not be set up to provide support designed to meet the needs and demands of this unique demographic including substance abuse rehabilitation services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native individuals can work with elders and stakeholders working in mental health services for their tribe or region to find out which types of treatment services are an option for them through which treatment facilities, and which ones will be most effective for their scenario. There have been many grants approved in recent years to cover these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effective recovery programs which provide evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive treatment services delivered in their language which are performed by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
