American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to require rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. On the Contrary, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more likely to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Almost 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native drug and alcohol treatment admissions arrive to treatment as criminal justice clients, meaning they have most likely accepted a court ordered diversion program to go to treatment in lieu of jail times for their charges. So therefore, there is a definite need for a variety of service types to provide services for all of the very unique requirements of this client demographic, including addiction rehabilitation programs in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Elk Park face is access to comprehensive services, particularly those who live in secluded locations. Programs providing substance abuse treatment services in rural areas often are not capable of offering support designed to meet the needs and demands of this unique group of people including addiction rehabilitation services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can consult with stakeholders and elders involved in mental health services for their tribe or region to determine which services are an option for them and through which rehab facilities, and which ones will be most effective for their scenario. There have been many grants approved in recent years to help pay for 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 integrates culturally sensitive recovery services including those in their language which are provided by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
