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 prone 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, which means they have most likely agreed to a diversion option to go to rehab instead of jail times for their charges. So therefore, there is a definite need for a variety of service types to provide services for all of the very unique requirements of this client demographic, including addiction treatment programs in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Superior face is access to comprehensive services, particularly those who reside in rural regions. Programs offering substance abuse treatment services in rural areas commonly are not set up to provide strategic planning aimed at meeting the needs and demands of this unique group of people including addiction rehabilitation services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can work with elders and stakeholders involved in mental health services for their region or tribe to find out 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 services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effective treatment programs which offer evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive treatment services delivered in their language which are provided by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
