American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to need treatment for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. Conversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more prone to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Nearly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native addiction treatment admissions arrive to rehab as criminal justice clients, which means they have very likely agreed to a diversion option to receive treatment instead of jail times for their charges. So therefore, there is a definite need for different types of treatment programs to cover all of the various needs of this client demographic, including substance abuse treatment services in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Cooleemee face is access to comprehensive rehab programs, especially those who reside in rural regions. Facilities providing drug and alcohol treatment services in rural areas may not be set up to provide strategic planning aimed at meeting the needs of this unique demographic including substance abuse rehabilitation services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can consult with elders and stakeholders working in mental health services for their region or tribe to find 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 numerous grants sanctioned in recent years to help pay for these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effective programs which provide evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive recovery services including those in their language which are performed by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
