American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to need rehabilitation for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. Reversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more likely to feel the need to seek treatment 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 receive rehab in lieu of jail times for their charges. So therefore, there is definitely a need for different types of treatment programs to cover all of the very unique needs of this client demographic, including addiction treatment services in native languages.
One of the problems that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Bryson City face is access to effective rehab programs, especially those who live in secluded locations. Programs offering addiction rehabilitation services in rural areas may not be capable of offering support aimed at meeting the needs and demands of this unique demographic including addiction treatment services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can work with stakeholders and elders involved in mental health services for their tribe or region to find out which treatment services are available to them through which treatment facilities, and which will work best for their particular situation. There have been numerous grants offered in recent years to cover these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effectively established recovery programs which provide evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive rehab services including those in their language which are performed by bi-lingual staff members.
