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. Reversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more likely to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Roughly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native drug and alcohol treatment admissions arrive to rehab as criminal justice clients, meaning they have most likely accepted a court ordered diversion program to go to rehab in lieu of jail times for their charges. So as one can see, there is an absolute need for different types of treatment programs to provide services for all of the very unique needs of this client demographic, including addiction treatment services in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Roberts face is access to effective treatment facilities, particularly those who live in secluded areas. Programs providing substance abuse treatment services in rural regions often are not set up to provide support intended for the needs and demands of this special group of people including addiction treatment services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can consult with stakeholders and elders involved in mental health services for their tribe or region to determine which services are available to them through which facilities, and which will best suit their needs. There have been numerous grants sanctioned in recent years to help pay for these types of treatment services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effectively established treatment programs which offer evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive recovery services delivered in their language which are performed by bi-lingual staff members.
