American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to require recovery services for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. Reversely, 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 addiction treatment admissions arrive to rehab as criminal justice clients, which means they have most likely agreed to a court ordered diversion program to receive treatment in lieu of jail time. So as one can see, there is an absolute need for different types of treatment programs to cover all of the various needs of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including substance abuse treatment services in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Dillsboro face is access to comprehensive treatment facilities, particularly those who live in rural locations. Facilities providing drug and alcohol treatment services in rural regions may not be capable of offering strategic planning designed to meet the needs of this unique group of people including substance abuse rehabilitation services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native individuals can work with elders and stakeholders working in mental health services for their region or tribe to figure out which services are an option for them and through which treatment facilities, and which will best suit their needs. There have been numerous grants offered in recent years to cover these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effectively established treatment programs which provide evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive treatment services including those in their language which are performed by bi-lingual staff members.
