American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to be in need to recovery services for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. On the Contrary, 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 show up to rehab as criminal justice clients, meaning they have very likely accepted a court ordered diversion program to receive rehab instead of jail times for their charges. So as one can see, there is an absolute need for different types of treatment programs to provide services for all of the very unique needs of this client demographic, including addiction treatment programs in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Edenton face is access to comprehensive and effective treatment facilities, especially those who live in rural areas. Facilities offering substance abuse treatment services in rural regions commonly are not able to offer support intended for the needs and demands of this unique group of people 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 find out which types of treatment services are an option for them and through which facilities, and which will be most effective for their scenario. There have been numerous grants offered in recent years to cover these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effective treatment programs which provide evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive treatment services delivered in their language which are provided by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
