American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to need rehabilitation for substance 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. Roughly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native addiction treatment admissions arrive to rehab as criminal justice clients, meaning they have most likely agreed to a diversion option to receive treatment in lieu of jail times for their charges. So as one can see, there is a definite need for a variety of service types to provide services for all of the very unique requirements of this client demographic, including substance abuse treatment services in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Jefferson City face is access to comprehensive rehab programs, particularly those who live in secluded areas. Facilities providing addiction treatment services in rural areas may not be capable of offering support designed to meet the needs of this distinctive group of people including substance abuse rehabilitation services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can consult with stakeholders and elders involved in mental health services for their tribe or region to find out which treatment services are available to them and through which treatment facilities, and which will best suit their needs. There have been numerous grants approved in recent years to help pay for these types of treatment services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effective programs which offer evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive recovery services including those in their language which are provided by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
