American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to need recovery services for substance abuse and addiction. On the Contrary, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more likely to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Nearly 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 accepted a court ordered diversion program to go to rehab in lieu of jail times for their charges. So as you can see, there is definitely a need for a variety of service types to cover all of the very unique requirements of this client demographic, including substance abuse treatment services in native languages.
One of the problems that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Atkinson face is access to comprehensive and effective rehab programs, especially those who reside in secluded areas. Programs providing drug and alcohol rehab services in rural regions commonly are not set up to provide strategic planning designed to meet the needs of this special group of people including substance abuse rehabilitation services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native individuals can work with elders and stakeholders involved in mental health services for their tribe or region to figure out which treatment services are an option for them through which treatment facilities, and which will best suit their needs. There have been many grants approved in recent years to help pay for these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effective treatment programs which provide evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive recovery services including those in their language which are performed by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
