American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to need recovery services for substance abuse and addiction. Reversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more likely to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Roughly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native drug and alcohol treatment admissions show up to rehab as criminal justice clients, meaning they have most likely accepted a diversion option to go to treatment in lieu of jail times for their charges. So therefore, there is definitely a need for different types of treatment programs to provide services for all of the various requirements of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including addiction treatment programs in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Wheaton face is access to comprehensive rehab programs, particularly those who live in rural regions. Programs providing addiction treatment services in rural regions commonly are not set up to provide strategic planning designed to meet the needs and demands of this distinctive demographic including addiction rehabilitation services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can work with elders and stakeholders involved in mental health services for their region or tribe to find out which services are available to them and through which facilities, and which ones will be most effective for their scenario. There have been numerous grants approved in recent years to cover these types of treatment services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effectively established recovery programs which provide 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.
