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 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 treatment as criminal justice clients, which means they have very likely accepted a diversion option to go to treatment instead of jail time. So as one can see, there is a definite need for a variety of service types to cover all of the various needs of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including addiction rehabilitation programs in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Antelope face is access to effective treatment facilities, especially those who live in secluded locations. Facilities providing drug and alcohol rehabilitation services in rural regions often are not capable of offering support designed to meet the needs and demands of this special demographic including substance abuse treatment services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can consult with elders and stakeholders involved in mental health services for their tribe or region to find out which services are available to them through which rehab facilities, and which ones will best suit their needs. There have been numerous grants offered in recent years to help pay for these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effective programs which provide evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive recovery services including those in their language which are performed by bi-lingual staff members.
