American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to require recovery services for substance abuse and addiction. Conversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more prone to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Almost 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native substance abuse treatment admissions show up to rehab as criminal justice clients, which means they have very likely accepted a diversion option to go to treatment in lieu of jail time. So as one can see, there is a definite need for different types of treatment programs 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 Cedar Island face is access to effective treatment facilities, particularly those who reside in rural locations. Programs providing substance abuse treatment services in rural areas commonly are not able to offer support intended for the needs and demands of this unique demographic including substance abuse rehabilitation services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can work with stakeholders and elders involved in mental health services for their region or tribe to figure out which treatment services are an option for them and through which facilities, and which will work best for their particular situation. There have been many grants sanctioned in recent years to help pay for these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effective recovery programs which provide evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive treatment services delivered in their language which are provided by bi-lingual staff members.
