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 prone to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Nearly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native addiction treatment admissions arrive to rehab as criminal justice clients, which means they have very likely accepted a diversion option to receive treatment in lieu of jail times for their charges. So as you can see, there is a definite need for different types of treatment programs to cover all of the very unique needs of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including addiction treatment programs in native languages.
One of the problems that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Lincoln face is access to comprehensive services, especially those who reside in rural locations. Facilities providing drug and alcohol rehabilitation services in rural areas often are not able to offer strategic planning designed to meet the needs and demands of this special group of people including substance abuse rehabilitation services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native individuals can consult with elders and stakeholders involved in mental health services for their region or tribe to determine which treatment services are available to them through which facilities, and which will work best for their particular situation. There have been numerous grants approved in recent years to cover these types of treatment services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effectively established programs which offer evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive treatment services including those in their language which are provided by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
