American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to be in need to rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Conversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also 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, which means they have most likely accepted a diversion option to receive rehab instead of jail time. So as one can see, there is definitely a need for a variety of service types to cover all of the various requirements of this client demographic, including addiction rehabilitation programs in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Florence face is access to comprehensive and effective rehab programs, particularly those who live in secluded regions. Programs providing drug and alcohol treatment services in rural areas may not be able to offer strategic planning aimed at meeting the needs and demands of this special demographic including addiction treatment services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can work with elders and stakeholders working in mental health services for their region or tribe to determine which services are available to them through which facilities, and which 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, that have very effective recovery programs which provide evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive rehab services delivered in their language which are performed by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
