American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to be in need to treatment for drug and alcohol 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 addiction treatment admissions show up to treatment as criminal justice clients, which means they have most likely agreed to a diversion option to go to treatment in lieu of jail times for their charges. So therefore, there is an absolute need for a variety of service types to provide services for all of the various requirements of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including substance abuse treatment programs in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Cascade face is access to comprehensive rehab programs, especially those who reside in rural regions. Programs providing substance abuse rehab services in rural areas often are not set up to provide strategic planning designed to meet the needs of this unique group of people including addiction treatment services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can consult with elders and stakeholders working in mental health services for their tribe or region to determine which services are an option for 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 services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effectively established programs which provide evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive rehab services delivered in their language which are provided by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
