American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to need treatment for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. Reversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more likely to feel the need to seek treatment 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 court ordered diversion program to go to treatment 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 very unique needs of this client demographic, including addiction treatment services in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Helena face is access to comprehensive rehab programs, particularly those who reside in rural regions. Facilities offering substance abuse rehab services in rural areas may not be able to offer support designed to meet the needs of this unique demographic including addiction rehabilitation services in their native 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 an option for them through which facilities, and which ones will work best for their particular situation. There have been many grants sanctioned in recent years to help pay for these types of treatment services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effective recovery programs which provide evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive recovery services including those in their language which are provided by bi-lingual staff members.
