American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to require treatment for substance abuse and addiction. On the Contrary, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more prone 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 treatment as criminal justice clients, meaning they have very likely accepted a court ordered diversion program to receive rehab in lieu of jail time. So as one can see, there is a definite need for different types of treatment programs to cover all of the various needs of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including addiction rehabilitation services in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Ashland face is access to effective rehab programs, particularly those who live in secluded areas. Facilities providing drug and alcohol treatment services in rural regions often are not capable of offering strategic planning aimed at meeting the needs and demands of this unique group of people including addiction treatment services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native individuals can work with elders and stakeholders working in mental health services for their tribe or region to determine which types of treatment services are available to them and through which treatment facilities, and which ones will best suit their needs. There have been many grants sanctioned in recent years to help pay for these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effective treatment programs which offer evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive treatment services delivered in their language which are performed by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
