American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to be in need to rehabilitation for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. Conversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more likely to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Nearly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native addiction treatment admissions arrive 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 an absolute need for a variety of service types to provide services for all of the very unique needs of this client demographic, including addiction rehabilitation services in native languages.
One of the problems that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Basin face is access to comprehensive and effective services, especially those who live in rural areas. Facilities providing substance abuse rehabilitation services in rural regions often are not capable of offering strategic planning aimed at meeting the needs and demands of this unique demographic including substance abuse treatment services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native individuals can consult with elders and stakeholders working in mental health services for their tribe or region to figure out which types of treatment services are an option for them through which treatment facilities, and which will be most effective for their scenario. There have been numerous grants sanctioned in recent years to help pay for these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effective recovery programs which provide evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive recovery services delivered in their language which are provided by bi-lingual staff members.
