American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to need recovery services for substance abuse and addiction. Conversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more likely to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Almost 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native drug and alcohol treatment admissions arrive to treatment as criminal justice clients, meaning they have very likely accepted a court ordered diversion program to receive treatment instead of jail times for their charges. So therefore, there is a definite need for different types of treatment programs to provide services for all of the various 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 Power face is access to comprehensive treatment facilities, particularly those who live in rural areas. Facilities offering substance abuse rehab services in rural regions commonly are not set up to provide strategic planning aimed at meeting the needs and demands of this special group of people including addiction rehabilitation services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native individuals can work with stakeholders and elders working in mental health services for their tribe or region to figure out which services are an option for them through which treatment facilities, and which ones will work best for their particular situation. There have been many grants approved in recent years to cover these types of treatment services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effectively established recovery programs which provide evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive rehab services delivered in their language which are provided by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
