American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to be in need to rehabilitation for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. On the Contrary, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more likely to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Roughly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native addiction treatment admissions show up to rehab as criminal justice clients, meaning they have very likely accepted a court ordered diversion program to receive treatment in lieu of jail time. So therefore, there is an absolute need for a variety of service types to cover all of the various needs of this client demographic, including substance abuse treatment services in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Whitlash face is access to effective treatment facilities, especially those who live in secluded locations. Programs offering substance abuse treatment services in rural regions commonly are not able to offer strategic planning designed to meet the needs of this unique demographic including addiction treatment services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native individuals can work with stakeholders and elders working 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 treatment facilities, and which will best suit their needs. There have been numerous grants approved in recent years to help pay for these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effective treatment programs which offer evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive rehab services delivered in their language which are performed by bi-lingual staff members.
