American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to require treatment for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. On the Contrary, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more likely to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Almost 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native substance abuse treatment admissions arrive to rehab as criminal justice clients, meaning they have very likely accepted a court ordered diversion program to receive rehab in lieu 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 this client demographic, including addiction rehabilitation services in native languages.
One of the problems that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Welch face is access to comprehensive and effective rehab programs, especially those who live in rural areas. Facilities providing addiction rehabilitation services in rural areas often are not able to offer strategic planning designed to meet the needs and demands of this distinctive group of people including substance abuse treatment services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can consult with stakeholders and elders 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 treatment facilities, and which will best suit their needs. There have been many grants offered in recent years to help pay for these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effectively established recovery programs which offer evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive rehab services including those in their language which are provided by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
