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. Conversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more likely to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Almost 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native addiction treatment admissions arrive to rehab as criminal justice clients, meaning they have very likely agreed to a court ordered diversion program to receive treatment in lieu of jail time. So therefore, there is definitely a need for a variety of service types to provide services for all of the various needs of this client demographic, including addiction treatment programs in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Whitefish face is access to comprehensive and effective treatment facilities, especially those who reside in rural regions. Programs offering drug and alcohol rehabilitation services in rural areas may not be capable of offering strategic planning designed to meet the needs of this unique group of people including substance abuse treatment services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can consult with stakeholders and elders working in mental health services for their tribe or region to find out which treatment services are available to them and through which treatment facilities, and which will work best for their particular situation. There have been many grants offered in recent years to cover these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effective recovery programs which offer evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive recovery services delivered in their language which are performed by bi-lingual staff members.
