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. 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. 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 court ordered diversion program to go to rehab instead of jail times for their charges. So therefore, there is an absolute need for a variety of service types to cover all of the very unique needs of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including addiction treatment services in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Camp Lejeune face is access to effective rehab programs, especially those who reside in secluded areas. Facilities providing drug and alcohol treatment services in rural areas may not be able to offer support aimed at meeting the needs and demands of this unique demographic including substance abuse rehabilitation services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can consult with elders and stakeholders working in mental health services for their region or tribe to find out which treatment services are available to them and through which treatment facilities, and which ones will work best for their particular situation. There have been numerous grants approved in recent years to help pay for these types of treatment services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effective programs which provide evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive treatment services including those in their language which are provided by bi-lingual staff members.
