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 substance abuse and addiction. Reversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more likely to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Almost 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native addiction treatment admissions arrive 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 you can see, there is an absolute need for different types of treatment programs to provide services for all of the various requirements of this client demographic, including substance abuse treatment programs in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Elkin face is access to effective services, especially those who live in rural locations. Facilities offering addiction rehab services in rural regions may not be able to offer strategic planning intended for the needs of this special demographic including addiction rehabilitation services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native individuals can consult with elders and stakeholders working in mental health services for their tribe or region to find out which types of treatment services are available to them through which rehab facilities, and which ones will work best for their particular situation. There have been many grants approved in recent years to help pay for these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effective treatment programs which provide evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive rehab services delivered in their language which are performed by bi-lingual staff members.
