American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to require rehabilitation for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. Conversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more likely to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Almost 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native substance abuse treatment admissions show up to rehab as criminal justice clients, meaning they have very likely accepted a diversion option to go to treatment in lieu of jail time. So as you can see, there is an absolute need for different types of treatment programs to cover all of the very unique needs of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including addiction rehabilitation programs in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Denton face is access to comprehensive and effective services, particularly those who reside in rural areas. Facilities providing drug and alcohol rehabilitation services in rural areas may not be able to offer strategic planning designed to meet the needs of this special demographic including substance abuse treatment services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can work with elders and stakeholders working in mental health services for their tribe or region to determine which treatment services are available to them and through which facilities, and which ones will best suit their needs. There have been numerous grants approved in recent years to cover these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effective recovery programs which provide evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive recovery services including those in their language which are provided by bi-lingual staff members.
