American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to be in need to treatment for substance 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 drug and alcohol treatment admissions show up to treatment as criminal justice clients, which means they have most likely agreed to a diversion option to go to rehab instead 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 requirements of this client demographic, including addiction treatment services in native languages.
One of the problems that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Richey face is access to effective services, particularly those who reside in secluded locations. Facilities providing addiction rehabilitation services in rural areas commonly are not able to offer strategic planning designed to meet the needs and demands of this unique demographic including substance abuse treatment services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native individuals can consult with stakeholders and elders involved in mental health services for their tribe or region to find out which types of treatment services are an option for them and through which rehab facilities, and which will work best for their particular situation. There have been numerous grants offered in recent years to cover these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effective treatment programs which provide evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive treatment services including those in their language which are performed by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
