American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to be in need to recovery services for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. On the Contrary, 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 addiction treatment admissions arrive to treatment as criminal justice clients, which means they have very likely agreed to a diversion option to receive treatment in lieu of jail time. So as one can see, there is a definite need for a variety of service types to cover all of the very unique needs of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including addiction rehabilitation programs in native languages.
One of the problems that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Redstone face is access to comprehensive treatment facilities, especially those who reside in rural locations. Facilities providing substance abuse rehabilitation services in rural areas commonly are not set up to provide support designed to meet the needs of this special group of people including addiction rehabilitation services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native individuals can work with stakeholders and elders involved in mental health services for their region or tribe to figure out which services are available to them and through which treatment facilities, and which will work best for their particular situation. There have been numerous grants offered in recent years to help pay for these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effective programs which offer evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive treatment services delivered in their language which are provided by bi-lingual staff members.
